This is an excellent camera which I have taken on many working tours in places like Isle of Man, London, Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar.
Its extremely easy to learn - the battery lasts a very long time and for first time DSLR users this is the perfect camera with some excellent auto and manual functions.
I brought this with an excellent extra Tamron 70mm - 300mm lens - This is all ive needed on all my photography projects. Well worth the money.

Consistently topping the recommendation lists for entry level Digital SLR cameras the 400D is a fine piece of equipment. There are more than enough reviews here which to extol the cameras virtues and facilities; it is certainly an easy to use camera. However while is will work well enough on fully automatic mode, I have found that in order to get the very best out if it you have to do a little bit of work yourself. Different circumstances will warrant the camera operator selecting specific preferences, be it shutter speed or aperture, and perhaps allowing the camera automatic function to provide the rest, in order to produce the desired results.
But perhaps the most important area where the user needs to be watchful is with the focusing. Especially with close-up work I now no longer use the cameras automatic focusing but rely on the eye and the viewfinder to ensure accurate focusing. The difference is considerable; in fact I was ready to up-grade the lens until I carried out a few experiments and proved what the standard 18-55mm lens could do, and it proved to be quite up to the job. Knowing what the standard lens can doo means I can now look much more specifically for additional lenses.
It also is worth remembering that pressing the shutter release is only half the photographer's job. Back in the days of traditional film stock the rest (or even the most) was done in the dark-room. So some decent photo editing software is just as important; Adobe Photoshop is of course very good but my own preference is for Corel Photopaint.
Excellent value for money, I am very happy with my 400D.

I've had this camera for a few weeks now and am blown away by it. I've upgraded from a Sony DSC-V1 which was a pretty handy 5mp compact but the Canon is in another league entirely as you'd expect from a 10mp SLR.
I'll give a brief rundown of some of the key features:
1. Built in sensor cleaning
2. EOS system compatibility
3. 2.5 inch LCD
4. 0.2 second start up time
5. 27 frame buffer at 3fps
6. 9 point auto focus
7. Various auto picture modes and full auto
In the box you get the body, an 18-55mm lens (more on the lens later), a full suite of software for downloading and editing pictures on your computer, battery + charger, camera strap and usb cable - a pretty comprehensive starter pack. Note there is no CF card but if you buy before the end of December 2006 you can apply for a free 256mb CF card direct from Canon.
I find the 400D a compact but comfortable camera to use. I think some with bigger hands have had trouble with it being a bit small but for me its fine.
After switching on the camera it's ready to use in around 0.2 seconds - that's a massive plus for me after moving from a camera that took a good few seconds to wake up. If you're moving up from a compact digital you'll love this feature!
On peeking through the viewfinder you'll see the nine-point AF system which gives good coverage around the centre of the frame. Various weighting methods are available and you can even select any one of the AF points to focus from so if the subject is off centre it's not a problem to focus on. Pressing the shutter release halfway will bring in the AF and exposure system. A bleep will notify the user that the system has locked on and achieved focus. Press all the way and the shot is taken. Simplicity itself. Once you get going the Canon can take shots pretty much as fast as you can press the shutter release.
Now onto the lens and really the only thing I can criticise. The provided 18-55mm lens is disappointing. It's basically just not that sharp for discerning photographers and it certainly does not let the 400D show its true potential. I would strongly recommend buying the 50mm 1.8 Canon lens for around £70. It is plasticky and built cheaply but please don't let this put you off - believe me this lens is S-H-A-R-P!!! I bought this lens after messing around with the 18-55 for a while and there's no comparison - the 50mm is a much faster lens and produces great pictures.
By all accounts the self cleaning system is a revelation and whilst I've never had a digital SLR before and therefore never suffered from dust problems on the sensor Canon has taken a positive step by making the sensor cover literally shake off dust particles on each power-up and power down operation!
The LCD is large and easily viewable and the camera is also very responsive to button presses and selections when reviewing shots for example. The button layout will take a bit of memorizing but that's purely down to the variety of adjustable options available!
I should mention battery life which I feel is very good. Unless you are taking shots left right and centre I can't imagine you having a problem on a day's photography - the manual states something around 360 shots with 50% flash use and I think this is reasonably accurate.
I could sing the 400D's praises all day but to summarise I'd say if you're new to digital SLR's or a seasoned pro this is a very solid camera with all the features you'll need. It will inspire your confidence too with its ease of use and excellent picture quality and hopefully spur you on to new creative exploits! Buy it - you won't be disappointed!

When I usually go out and buy expensive things, I get the 2nd day doubt when I think about returning it.....but not with this camera. This was truly one of the best investments I have made. I use it every day on just every day things! I can take EXCELLENT pictures of my dogs playing and running in mid air, or I am always guaranteed to get the perfect shot of friends and family, thanks to the fast acting camera! I have taken over 4000 pictures with my camera and the numbers keep going, but the camera still acts like the day I got it! I learn something new about it every day and I would truly recommend buying the book "Digital Rebal XTi/400D Digital Field Guide" by Charlotte K. Lowrie. It has helped make me feel more confident with the camera and I'm only one page 15 :) This was my first SLR trype camera and I have produced pictures that look every bit like a professional photographer has taken them. Just understand what each feature does and how you can personalize it to your own taste and you will have a blast with it!

For some reason Amazon keep deleting my posts here, have I been blackballed? This will be my 53rd attempt to post a review (a couple worked, but then taken down for some reason... I thought they where reasonable and they did get all positive votes... Maybe I complain too much... But this Canon 400D really is rather good).
So, I'll not paste and copy my previous review, just some salient points I've found from using it for a while. Mr Edwards review is very good, check that out. I'd say get at least a 1GB card, I bought a 2GB card, prices are fairly good. Perhaps buy two 1GB, in case one corrupts, saves panics whilst on holiday or away from shops. Also I recommend buying a battery grip. The 400D lasts a long long time on one battery, the battery grip offers you space for X2 Lithium batteries (£25 each roughly) or use of X6 AA in emergencies. It also gives your fingers more space. I found the ergonomics of the 400D a finger or so on the small side. A battery grip gives much more comfortable grip space, perhaps too much...It makes the camera rather bulky, so it's personal preference here.
At £[...], this is the best value camera, add to that the excellent features, it's a huge bargain compared to other cameras; Especially the overpriced Nikon D80. But the Canon 400D has defects and lacks features the other DSLRs have. It has no image stabilisation (the Sony Alpha has, and it's useful too). The 400D has a small viewfinder, enough to annoy (the Nikon is the best). The lens kit is very cheap (the Nikon is superior, therefore gives better results). At 100%, the images are a little soft, but it should make little difference in general, the image quality on a 400D is as good, if not better than other DSLRs. I find the default settings a disappointment, making for rather muddy images (feel rather underexposed, but it is a glum winter so far); Try using RAW format for your images. The 400D is also not the quickest to start up, but it's quick enough that it makes no difference really. Burst mode is also not the best, but when are you going to need to take more than 27 photos in a row? The AF assist is, to say the least, annoying. It uses the built in flash to strobe, which is very distracting at parties, it feels a major drawback. Luckily, the 400D performs fairly well under lowlight without a flash. At 1600 ISO, the noise levels are no worse than on the best settings of a compact camera. Another drawback is the poorly featured user profiles, so you'll need to fiddle with the program settings all the time. Since the menu is fairly intuitive, this isn't too much of a headache. You'll only need the very good manual, that canon supplies in the box, for a few more esoteric button push items. A day or two fiddling and you'll get the hand of this camera without reading a page.
Like the other DSLR cameras, it offers dust protection and 10 MP sensor, there are differences though. I do recommend you try out the other cameras, as personal taste and feel of a camera is just as important as features. You may find the 400D just doesn't 'feel' right or the viewfinder is too small. The Sony Alpha and Nikon D80 offer real alternatives. I wish Pentax offered a half decent alternative, but not yet...
In summary, this offers a great camera at a comparatively great price. The Nikon D80 just isn't worth the extra cash. The lens kit is poor, but most will find it more than adequate in the short term at least. It doesn't have the same affect on me as my first SLR (Pentax K1000) did, but I'm learning to love the plastic touch of the 400D. The other alternative is a high quality 10MP compact by Casio, compacts offer a portability and discretion DSLRs just can't offer. Casio, believe it or not, make great compacts. If only they made a DSLR!

I guess I bought the product because I felt I should get something a little more advanced than the basic digital I bought seven years ago. I read the reviews and decided to upgrade to this camera.
The package I bought included a panoramic lens - the one provided is wide angle. But for the novice taking holiday pictures it does provide using excellent automatic settings.
I have just done a course (not provided by a camera club) to show me how to use it fully. Wow! I remembered stuff in my dark distant non-SLR past. There are some things that you do need to be taught/reminded of. But you can simply read the manual.
If I could go out and buy another digital camera this is the one I would get. Can't say better than that having bought it 18 months ago!

This camera with lens was bought for me a few days ago and i have fallen in love with photography all over again. Having used a 35mm SLR previously and all the pain that comes with it, changing to digital really has made using SLRs extremely easy to pick up.
What really has impressed me about the Canon 400 (especially compared with some other dSLR makes) is the packaging and manuals which actually make coherent sense and really negates the need to buy any other books or anything to make using the camera any easier. This is also down to Canon's finely tuned menu system which one learnt is a piece of cake - it really is the nokia menu of cameras...
Some people have said don't bother going for the lens kit option and just get the body; however, i think i would have to disagree with that as the 18-55 that comes with it, whilst it isn't top of the range, if you take pictures in anything more than reasonable light and haven't got really bad caffeine shakes, you're going to get a damn good picture with a bit of playing around. Although having said this, since the 18-55 is on the smaller side it is mainly best for portraits and if you want to start taking landscapes or huge panoramic views then you'll want to buy a different lens like a 80-200/300 or something (i got the Tamron 80-200 i think, also works a treat!).
Picture are easy to frame and easier to upload and play around with using the software provided (although apparently upgrading to PhotoShop Elements is well worth it). You really can take pictures of what you can see (as opposed to taking a picture and realising it has none of the impact that it has on the eye) with incredible ease.
And a useful hint if you are thinking of buying one of these lovely cameras but want spare batteries, the 3rd party makes are JUST AS GOOD as the official ones and generally around 10% of the price! Apparently the only down side is that if the battery breaks it can spurt nasty stuff all over the camera and the main warranty that comes with it doesn't cover that - but you can get cheapo insurance that will cover it (a very good idea). On the memory card side of things, going for 2/4gb CF card that is a safe bet as long as its also quick - the cheaper ones really do affect the speed the camera processes the pictures.
This camera for the price is a steal, you really will be hooked within seconds. If you're having second thoughts and are thinking about going for the 350d or a different make, my advice, don't!

I bought this two months ago after reviewing cameras for at least six month.
With 10.1 mp,easy to use functions,lightweight, easy to grip, I believe i made the right choice. This is my first DSLR and glad i purchased the Canon. The camera kit comes with the supplied lens which isn't top quality. Well worth buying a 50mm lens for every day use.( keep the supplied lens as a spare).
I bought the canon 50mm 1.8 mark 11 lens.
The software that is supplied with the camera is easy to install on your computer. The software allows you to store pics and edit, prior to printing them out.
This camera is been replaced by the 1000d( although not confirmed by canon), but if your a beginner like me, then it isn't worth the extra cost. Reviews recently put the Sony alpha 200 ahead of the Canon 400, mainly due to inbuilt image stabilisation and liveview functions.
The choice is yours, but the Canon has more lens etc to choose from. The Sony has limited number of lenses to buy......approx 20.
Canon has a range of over 60 lenses to choose from.
I love this camera and have become addicted to photography already....

I decided to get back into photography with an SLR, and did quite a lot of research. This lead me to buy this camera and lens (as well as a 70-300 zoom). This camera is a superb entry level camera, with preset picture style types such as portrait, landscape, sports etc. and a fully auto setting, so as easy to use as a point and shoot. For the more professional photographers amongst you, there are the manual setting options where you can adjust the ISO, aperture etc. and a fully manual option. The basic 18-55 lens will be fine when you are getting used to the camera, however the lenses will be the first thing you upgrade if you fall in love with photography! I recommend the USM IS range of lenses as reasonable priced good quality upgrades.

The 400D was my first venture into digital SLR's (I've had several film ones over the years) and I must say I am very happy with it. It's been just over a year since I brought the 400D with kit lens (18-55m) and a 50-200mm with it. It's a nifty little camera, big enough to make the image conscious feel like the have a TRUE DLSR in their hands, but small enough for carrying around like a compact digital camera.
Another great thing about the 400D is that is has the safety net of the automatic functions, such as scene modes, automatice white balance, ISO and focusing, but allows for learning with the ability to be fully manually controlled if the user so wishes.
I would definately reccomend this as a perfect starter dlsr for anyone buying, I just wish the price was like this when I brought mine soon after the release of this model (Summer 2007 for about £600 (with the kit lens, 50-200mm, and a 1gb memory card))!

I recently bought a EOS 400D, for my husband, following my daughters wedding (bad timing or what). He followed the photographer around and whenever he left his lying around, He picked it up and just started taking pic's. He owns two 35mm SLR's, a Pentax MX and Olympus 10, plus a 7 mp Olympus digi camera.
When we went on holiday after the wedding and took photos of Puffins with my digi cam. when we checked the images, even on zoom you had to struggle to see the birds.
So I decided to buy a newer camera for him, hence the 400D. he is so impressed with the picture quality even though I bought a second telephoto lense for him, which again gives great quality. the camera itself is so easy to use, even my 7 year old grandaughter took a great photo of her sister with it !!!!.
Although there is a EOS 450 model out now he would recomend the EIOS 400D to anyone

You can't go wrong with the 400D. The image quality is excellent, and so are the features.
The 2.5" screen is a good size. The fps shooting is more than ample.
I've used this body with a lot of L lenses and struggled to find any difference between it and a 40D. I prefer the power switch on the 400D over the 40D.

The 2.5" screen is a good size. The fps shooting is more than ample.

I am an experienced (amateur) SLR photographer having bought my first Nikon FE back in 1980 or so. I purchased a Canon Eos Elan (with eye control!) about 5 years ago that is still my mainstay camera. However, my wife and I found that we were using our little compact digital more than our SLR, so for our holiday in Holland and Belgium in 2007, we decided to splurge on a digital SLR.
Since we already had accessories for the Canon Elan like an TTL flash, 18mm - 85mm lens, and the RC-1 remote, we opted to go for the Eos 400d.
The 400d is a very nice camera indeed. Compared to the Elan, it is a little smaller and a lot lighter. That might be good or bad depending on your experience. For experienced SLR users it will likely be uncomfortable. Also, the mount for the 400d is plastic so we were a slightly concerned since I mostly carry the camera by holding the `neck' between the camera and the lens. However, this proved not to be a problem. Yet.
The main disappointment we had with the camera is the smaller cropping factor of the 400d when you switch lenses between the film and digital cameras. I found this great article on [...] that explains why if you want more details. In practical sense, however, this means that my 18mm - 85mm lens acts more like a 24mm - 92mm lens on the 400d. This was unfortunate because we had wanted to purchase a longer zoom lens for our Elan and did so by buying a 85mm - 300mm lens. We never got to use it! Now we are planning to get wider angle lens instead.
During the vacation we took more than 500 maximum pixel pictures. Our only real difficulty was having to back up often because of the problems previously explained. It was a good thing we brought our TTL flash with us because we used it more extensively than we expected to.
Overall, however, this was a good buy. The controls are easy to understand and you can change between auto and manual settings easily. The battery life is great, the built-in flash is adequate for portraits, the 3.5 inch screen is a very nice. Most of all, however, we were happy with the pictures and that is what really counts.

I have had this Camera for a couple of weeks now and with in the first day of having it fell in love with it. It was needed to go on holiday with and its first main uses was in New York, this was a great way to test the camera out. i was so impressed by the whole package and the way the camera works. the best part of the kit was getting a tele photo lense. the best part is that you don't need a tri-pod to use the tele-photo. the 10.1 MP work perfectly. This camera makes you think why do you need the higher end priced camera if you get this sort of quality camera in the Mid range priced Digital SLR. i would reconmend this camera to everyone!!! BUY THE CANON EOS 400D!!!! i would buy soon as the starting to be not made any more. the 500D is taking over! but buy the 400D as it will be a huge amount cheaper!!! and a better camera!

My first Digital SLR (or SLR of any type), chosen after many weeks of research (I looked at the 350D, Nikon D80, and Olympus E400 amongst others) - mostly because most of the people I knew were also chosing it.
I was a little worried about the reported small size of the camera, given that I'm 6 feet tall and have hands that are in proportion! But I have to say, the camera feels very comfortable to me - and is easy to grip for long periods of time (although I will be investing in the battery grip for a little more stability).
After a quick run through the user guide, I was up and out and shooting in Manual mode within minutes. It really is surprisingly easy to access and use the more advanced features - and I haven't used any of the Automatic modes since.
The kit lens has also come in for a lot of criticism - and, yeah, it's definitely not the finest bit of kit. But that said, it will serve any newcomers (like myself) just fine, while you get up to speed - and then decide what you'd like to replace it with. Really for the extra £30 or £40 the kit costs, I think it's definitely worth it.
Image quality seems outstanding to me - even the kit lens is okay, but using the much discussed bargain 50/1.8 lens really is a revelation. A definite must buy for any newcomer.
Battery life seems excellent, although its always worth having a spare on hand when you're out and about.
The on-LCD settings screen works really well - it's nice and bright and easy to see in the dark (unlike the old seperate mono settings window on the 350D and other cameras)
Construction is the only thing I would slightly mark the camera down on - it could be better - the black finish on the front does seem to scuff quite easily from fingernails, and the like. But could it be better for this price? Probably not. It feels solid, which is about all you can ask for. Titanium would obviously be better, but would price the camera out of its current range.
All in all, a lovely bit of kit - and a true bargain at the current price (around [...] for the body and kit lens). It's also useful having such a huge user base, as there's always someone somewhere you can ask for advice - and plenty of compatible second hand lens and accessory bargains to had.
If you're looking to make the plunge into the world of DSLR, you could definitely do worse. I just can't put it down...

If you have been thinking of buying a DSLR, and you don't have a film autofocus SLR with one or more lens compatible with the digital equivalent, then buy this camera NOW. The replacement, Canon EOS 450D is £550 (or more) and it doesn'y have a lot extra (up from 10 to 12 megapixels).
Read the other reviews, those that are positive are right. It is a really great camera (most reviews rate it above the Nikon, which comes a close second). The kit lens, Canon's 18-55mm EFS MkII, is poor - reduces the camera to snaps. But get a half decent lens - which needn't be expensive - such as the Tamron 70-300mm zoom, and see stunning results. Ability to play with all settings - ISO, aperture, shutter and exposure compensation gives better results than the auto settings.
Designed for beginners, this camera opens photographic horizons. I have taken some stunning photos since purchase last November.
Get it now while stocks last - it won't be coming back again.

I remember, back in the day, buying a 2mp Minolta camera, and just how disappointed I was trying to get it to take a decent photo. So, since then I've not been that enthusiastic about digital cameras/SLRs. Until I bought the 400D. What an amazing camera! It's everything I always wanted in a camera (although I'm relative newcomer to photography).
It does everything I could possibly expect from a camera and there may be a reason why you would want to buy a more expensive than this one, but I honestly cannot see why you would want to!
It's so quick at everything. Which is what you need when you really urgently need to take a photo. It takes less than a second to boot-up, the focusing speed is usually phenomenally fast, and it can continuously shoot 3fps for about twenty seconds. The menu system is great, and all controls are sensibly laid out. The camera feels rock-solid. It's quite weighty, so it may not be so good for people of slight frame, but it's a small complaint for such as awesome peice of kit. The built-in flash is powerful (more than enough to annoy and blind my brother) and even on the auto settings you get great daylight shots that require very little, if any, touch-up in Photoshop. I would say buy a decent lens, because the 75-300 Canon lens I bought suffers from a bit of blur, and chromatic abberation, especially on full zoom (that blue tinge you see around high contrast subjects). You can sort these things out in Photoshop, but really you'd be better of buying a decent lens to avoid these problems in the first place.
The battery life is excellent, and you can pick up cheap replacements or spares.
I'm not sure whether the sensor cleaning thing works, but I assume it does beause all my shots have been noise free.
I love the fact that you can leave the shutter open for as long as you want. That's great for night time shots where there is little light, or when you want to do a bit of Astrophotography. I got some fantastic photos of the Orion constellation, and of a huge halo around the moon. Although I would recommend a tripod and definitely recommend buying a remote control so that you can take shots without the camera shake from pressing the button.
Well, for the last five minutes I've been enthusing about the 400D, but I think it really is that good. Believe all the reviews you see here and elsewhere. It is an amazing camera for the price.

I'm an aspiring amateur photographer, and I've been waiting for the right moment to buy a digital SLR; I found a good deal for the 400D and I have rarely spent money better. I've been a Canon SLR user for the last 10 years; high prices always put me off going digital. I wish I'd done it earlier - I'm going to learn ten times as much in a quarter of the time using the 400D.
You can see immediately the settings in use for every shot; I've used the exposure bracketing and continuous shooting functions to very quickly start learning what works and what doesn't. Battery life is advertised at 4 hours, but I've used the camera on two 3 hour shoots (500 shots), removing the battery the rest of the time and it stills reads half full. The spec is great - 1/4000 sec is unbelievably quick, and the ability to set the ISO speed at the press of a button means you have so much more control in low light situations.
These are common features on entry level digital SLRs, but pair them with 10 mega pixels and the canon ef lens suite and you've got a winning combination. I'm also a fan of customisation, and the ability to decide how long images auto-display for, the option to set up your own picture formats, and the ability to set custom functions is just loads of fun. It also manages not to be daunting, despite the huge range of options; it's easy to use and intuitive.
Uploading via the bundled software can take a while; connect via USB and wait for a bit while the camera accesses the CF card. I've only loaded the EOS utility as I don't want to clutter up the hard drive, but even this basic program gives you the option to take photos with the camera from the PC, yet another awesome feature.
For anyone who really wants to start to take control over their photography this camera is simply excellent. I'm shopping for accessories which is always a good sign, and it's even making me want to buy more lenses to get the most out of it. Buy it. You will NOT regret it!

I received my 400D for Christmas and have not yet had any problems whatsoever with setting it up or using it, (and hopefully never will!) It is a fantastic piece of equipment and worth every penny!
The 10.1 mega pixels (MP) really help make this camera stand out amongst the rest of the crowd in the same price range, (Samsung, Sony and Nikon Models) and when working alongside an easy-to-use body/lens kit, a truly brilliant D SLR camera is created.
Some people have commented on the slightly "plasticy" feel of the camera, but not even a pro-photographer would have any real concerns about this, (isn't it the quality of the pictures that should be placed before those of faults in the beauty of the camera?)
Some excellant software is included in the box, which helps you to manipulate and improve your pictures depending on your own individual style, (although I have been spending more time taking pictures than editing them).
The lense provided is crisp and clear enough to take some superb portrait and landscape pictures (although it struggles with focusing when trying to shoot images such as close-ups of flowers/macro pictures) although that is to be expected with a starter-lense, and is fully capable of holding your interest until you are ready to move up to more advanced shots). I would suggest looking into buying a second lense to work alongside the first, (such as a zoom/macro lense) although take care in choosing the right one as they can be very expensive!
The choice of picture styles and formats is simply outstanding, and I have already experimented with shutter speeds, effects and manual focus-(although I would recommend reading the manual before doing so) and have created some pretty impressive contrasted and natural-effect situations.
When I first started looking at D SLR's, the Canon 350D looked very appealing, but when compared to the up-grade (being around only 70 odd pounds more with added features such as a sensor cleaning system and an extra 2.1 MP) I decided that the 400D was definately the better choice!
I could go on and on about the improved features, price, choice of lenses, picture quality... etc. but would prefer not to bore you and leave you with just some of the fantastic features that this product can offer you, (although I would just like to say that this camera is certainly one of the best on the market, and that you should definately chose it over others).

This is a great camera if you are just starting out in the SLR digital world or are looking to refine your skills a little more.
The image quality is very good (For work I shoot with a Canon 1Ds) and it requires a little bit of knowledge to get the best from it. I have some great shots with this camera.
Well worth the money and certainly great of you want a major step up from a fully auto compact.

All in all I really like it.
I purchased the body and a couple of 'L' series lenses and I can't complain about the picture quality and noise is really well controlled on high iso images.
There have been some people who've thought it was too small, but I've been happy, and my hands aren't that small (I'm 1.85m tall and male).
My only real complaint is that there's no way (that I've found) of locking the settings on the camera so they can't be changed accidentally. A couple of times I've found myself shooting with an odd iso or white balance because I've had the camera slung over my shoulder, switched on, and it's managed to bump the appropriate buttons. Once I managed to switch the camera on when my clothes caught on the on/off switch.
But those are minor complaints about what is an excellent camera, but buy the body and invest in a really good lens to go with it rather than the kit lens which is adequate at best. Also, remember that the cropping factor of 1.6 means that a 28mm wide angle lens isn't going to be that wide in practice, and a lens like the EFS10-22mm will provide those really panoramic views.
Given how little a 4GB CF card costs, forget about shooting jpeg and stick to Raw. You'll have far more control of the finished image, and if you want to have the jpegs instantly without having to go via a PC, you can always shoot combined jpeg and raw. Also, if you do get the white balance wrong, it's *much* easier to correct in raw than jpeg.
The Canon provided software for editing and archiving is OK and you can do a reaosnable range of things with it, but you'll get more bang for your buck by investing in a copy of Photoshop or Photoshop elements and downloading their addin for processing 400D raw images.
The more I use it, the more I like it.
Update on dust cleaning:
Well, I've been using it for a few months and switching lenses 'in the field' regularly and I managed to get my first bit of dust which the self cleaning wouldn't remove. I shifted it using a 'rocket' blower and so far have not felt the need to use a brush or a pec pad+eclipse, but I've got them in reserve :-(

Had this camera a couple of days and already feel very comfortable with it. At first glance out of the box it looks slightly plastic compared to my previous non-SLR (fuju finepix S7000) but to use it is simply and easy.
The continuous shooting mode at 3 frames per second isn't quite as fast as i would have thought but does a good job all the same and at 10MP that's still very useful to have.
I have taken about 700 pictures the last 48hrs and have loaded some on here so have a look for yourself.
I have also plugged it into the TV to view photos and that works well.
But i think i will upgrade to a better (telephoto) lens at some point but in the mean time i am very pleased!

this was my first SLR. i was nervous about the cost. after a year i do not regret spending the money. the camera is fantastic: it oozes quality. from the first time you switch it on (takes less than a second to be ready for a picture), to after you have had it a few months and are shooting in raw and exposure bracketing.
i do think it is cheap of them to not bundle any kind of memory card. (be sure to order an 8 gig CF card at the same time).
do not buy this lens kit. get this camera body, and consider buying a better value, higher quality, canon-fit sigma lens.

The camera itself is outstanding for the price. It's the first camera I've owned, mainly because I've been somewhat underwhelmed by the unbearable speed of the various point and shoot digitals I've used recently. I cannot really fault this camera and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest it.
The reason I haven't given it 5 stars is due to the lens that comes supplied with this camera. Having replaced it with another I would probably recommend buying the body only and a better lens, though this is probably the case with most SLRs in this price range. I'd give the body 5 stars.
