Only thirteen months after buying the camera, and it failed (Error 99).
Look on the internet for Error 99. Choose Pentax instead.

I bought this camera back in December along with some other EOS products, on the basis of Canon's advertised cashback promotion.
Despite sending off the paperwork, getting a reference number and sending over 10 emails, the cashback has not appeared. The company Canon uses to handle their cashback does not answer the phone and the only replies they've sent to email contact have been "wait 5 days and see if the money appears".
I am about to begin small claim's court proceedings against Canon to recover the sum owed.
The Camera's great - but don't buy it on the basis of the Cashback promotion!

Advised by my son in US to purchase the EOS400d and have not regretted it for one minute. Good service from Amazon and all arrived promptly as advertised. Very quickly applied for and received the cash back from Canon which made the camera a bargain at £350. Lens suits me in a learning capacity Will possibly upgrade when knowledge and experience demand. Easy to operate and understand and have sent for DVD on camera to assist with knowledge and improve photos. At same time got the 430EX flashgun which obviously is a great improvement on the built in unit. All software loaded into home computer and just needs you to sit, study and learn to upload, store and print good quality photos. Have an Epson Stylus D68 PE printer which copes with printing demands from this camera
I do not think you need to look elsewhere for an extremely good, well made camera. Highly recommended.

The Canon 400D is a great camera but what a dissapointment to find the rear screen could not be used to compose the photo. I thought all digital cameras gave you this facility.
Would not have purchased this one if I had knowe

This review mainly summarises and endorses the gist of the longer reviews below:
1) This is a marvellous camera, ideally suited to the semi-pro or serious amateur, with all the features (and quality) that such a user could need. At the same time, a point-and-shoot snapper will be delighted with the automatic settings.
2) Anyone who's used a Canon SLR camera before will immediately feel at home with the 400D, and entirely new users won't take long to catch up.
3) You'll only find it heavy or chunky if you're used to compact cameras. If you've been using an older digital or film SLR, the 400D will seem small and positively lightweight. But it's still good to grip, even if you have fairly large hands, and the controls aren't at all fiddly to operate.
4) Special praise goes to the high ISO settings, which deliver very low-noise images in minimal available light. You'll rarely need to use flash anymore with this camera!
5) I'd thought some of the criticisms of the lens must be exaggerated in the reviews below, but no. To hit a price point, Canon have included a lens that's a disgrace to their name. I know the other big names do something similar with their kits, but that's no excuse. It's barely worth shooting maximum file-size images with this lens, and certainly not in RAW.
Afterword: Converting the 400D's RAW images into the more usable TIFF format (with the aid of the camera's accompanying software) produces pictures with a file size of 28.9MB each. For comparison, my 5-megapixel Lumix produces JPEGs of about one-tenth that file size. Consequently I now need to upgrade or renew my computer to handle the editing and storage of my images. But of course I'm not blaming Canon for this unforeseen side-effect of buying such a powerful camera!

I have had this camera for about 7 months, been to air shows, I use it for bird photography and it has been on holiday to Lake Garda Italy, and all I can say is WOW.
I took time to take test photos on different settings e.g. white balance and picture style with increased saturation settings so I could get good photo's straight from the camera as jpegs, so I did not have to do much post processing and mess around with RAW files. ( life's too short, and it's supposed to be fun )!
Underexposure can occasionally be a problem, but after a while you know which lighting conditions need more exposure than others, so you just tweak the compensaion button and bingo. ( use the Histogram display )
I have hardly used the much criticized 18-55mm lens, instead I have invested in some quality "L" glass which produces crisp tack sharp images,as well as a 24-85mm zoom, although I only used the cheaper 24-85mm lens in Italy which returned superb images, with only the minimum of processing ( I took jpeg and raw and have not had to use any raw files at all ).
I love this camera

I treated myself to this camera after having read reviews and heard great things from a friend. I have traditionally used compact digital cameras taking all sort of generic pictures. Having moved to the DSLR, in fact SLR for the first time in my life ... it's opened up another of photography I thought might have otherwise been too difficult to achieve. There is a wealth of knowledge on the internet and various forums and with a little patience I am now having a great time snapping away with this camera. I bought the camera with the standard kit lense, the standard kit lense does fair well for most sorts of photography, portrait, parties and landscape. As you become more confident you can look at buying new lenses, again take your time decide what sort of pictures you plan to spend more time taking, and find yourself a good upgrade lense which caters for most.
You will enjoy this camera if you're coming into DSLR as an amateur.

I recently bought my 400D, having planned to buy a 350, then, typically, had my head turned by the new model.
Am I glad I went through the frustrating few weeks waiting for the 400D? Oh yes!
I've just spent some time working in India, and used up my spare moments taking pictures whenever I could. The first great surprise is the battery life. I've been shooting with digital cameras and camcorders for a while now, and battery life is a constant issue. I was expecting improvements, but was still pleasantly surprised to find that I could shoot over 400 shots and have the battery remain on half charge.
The camera is great to use - lots of my shots were taken in bright conditions, but the large clear LCD screen was always easy to read. The AF system works really well in low light, and the initially daunting amount of settings soon become familiar and easy to find and set. I've got a 2gig card at the moment, and I would advise that you consider that a minimum size, as shooting RAW (one of the reasons I upgraded) will soon fill the card.
I read one review that criticised the compact size and ergonomics. I didn't find this a problem at all - in fact the compact size and light weight is a bonus when you're travelling. Possibly you should avoid this if you have Homer Simpson fat fingers, but for us mere mortals the control layout is great.
The software provided is also very good - particularly like the built in stitcher program for panoramic shots.
One of the benefits of the EOS series is the facility to use other branded non-AF lenses with the purchase of adapter rings. I'm using my old Nikon lenses without any problems (apart from manual focussing and aperture) and will be using Olympus lenses too. For me this adds a large amount of value to the camera. Obviously you need to shop carefully, and use the rings with great care, but I've not had any problems.
Oh, by the way, the picture quality is excellent too. Colours are clear, contrast is good - not too 'digital' , and the exposure is consistent across the frame. I print a lot of my shots at around 8x10 size to adorn my walls, and the initial results from the 400D are stunning.
I thoroughly recommend the 400D. Happy snapping!

I bought this camera three weeks back and now I should say that I love it. The kit lens with camera is not so impressive, but good enough to get started with.
Very ease to you as well, more or less like point and shoot camera or a compact camera.
Already taken some amazing images with it already, and some indoor pics with a 50mm 1.8 lens.

A really easy to use, reliable camera perfect for amateur enthusiasts and less experienced photographers. With a good range of modes such as portrait, landscape and macro, the camera also has more complex modes such as manual, aperture priority and shutter priority.
The camera is fairly small which can mean the controls are difficult to use but it is perfect for small hands. The weight is manageable and I have had no problems carrying the camera in my handbag.
The only letdown with the 400D is the standard lens which doesnt allow the camera to reach its full ability for capturing detail. A huge range of lenses are available for the EOS cameras but you may find these cost as much as the camera itself.

I love my camera. It is truely the best thing I've bought. I used to have a canon film slr which if I'm honest, I didn't really know how to use but I got some great shots from it. I upgraded to digital and chose canon because the lenses I already had would fit. And I learnt how to use it!
I have been really impressed with it. The battery life is great. The features are nicely laid out and easy to understand, you can view your settings on the screen on the back and in the view finder.
I don't have a problem with the lens that comes with it, I'm sure there are better ones out there but it's fine if you're a beginner like me. And if you're not, then buy a more expensive camera!
All in all, it's a great entry level piece of kit - with a tripod, a couple more lenses and some tips from a helpful friend you will get some fantastic photos!

Having owned several Canon cameras, (T70, EOS 650, EOS 500)it was a logical step to purchase the 400D. My main reason was the interchangeability of lenses. 10.1 megapixels isn't going to set the world on fire, but if you use the right lenses it's more than enough for today's printers. In fact, I think that a single image on an A4 page has quality & definition as good as you will find from a digital camera. My only gripe is that Canon should have included a small CF card in the package. The most impressive thing for me was the price & delivery of the camera from Amazon. Including the cashback, Amazon were almost £70 cheaper than the same camera from a reputable stockist in Gran Canaria (who flatly refused to believe the price I paid!). So, it's a very good camera at a very good price. My old EOS 650 was my favourite camera up until the 400D arrived, but I am now hooked on the new camera. Just make sure your printer is up to the job & buy it with confidence (from Amazon!)

I used to have an analogue SLR years ago, and digital compacts are never quite good enough. This Canon has all the amazing features you would have seen on professional level DSLRs only 3 years ago, and now we all have access to the same technology. I particularly liked the self-cleaning mechanism, if you choose to change lenses. And three shots per second is fantastic for moving events or family portraits.
I suggest you budget twice the cost of the camera. You will also need a high capacity memory card, a tripod, a longer lens and Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) to get the best out of the camera. You should also budget a lot of time - this camera is addictive!

Very poor camera when you consider Nikon as the nearest competitor.
Whilst perfectly possible to get great images, it won't be done without spending a fortune on extras such as decent lens (the bundled lens is poor at best) - The camera will be one third of your expenditure before you are even half way satisfied with the results...
Read reviews online where people are not selling and you will be able to get the full picture... no pun intended.
Strongly suggest if you can afford this camera then you can afford the Nikon... but the Nikon.

I have had several digital cameras, mostly Canon but some Kodaks. I looked at the 350D when it came out but it was too expensive. So when my daughter started her photography A-level and we needed a DSLR I wasn't sure what we would be able to get.
We compared a Nikon D40 and the Canon 400D. I was surprised at how affordable these cameras have become compared to a top prosumer camera.
The Nikon D40 is a great camera and comes in cheaper than the 400D. There didn't seem to be too much difference between them and the Nikon is slightly smaller and lighter. However, the Nikon only has 6 MP and no dust prevention mechanism. In use, the Nikon felt slower and the menus were unfamiliar. The 400D, in contrast, is ready to shoot almost as soon as you turn it on and the menu system, for an existing Canon user, is very straightforward. The supplied lens takes great shots, despite what other reviews might say. The presence of several pre-defined shooting modes makes operation of the camera straightforward, but there are manual options if you want more control over your shots.
One thing surprised me with DSLRs, which is that you have to use the viewfinder. At the time of writing there is no DSLR with an LCD preview option (but this may change with time as I have heard of a camera that will offer this).
Note that you'll need a memory card, the 400D uses Compact Flash which is widely available and cheap. A 1 Gb card can hold several hundred shots in high resolution JPEG format. All memory cards run the risk of data corruption or failure, so carry a spare and make regular backups.
If you're on a very tight budget, the Nikon D40 would be fine. But for existing Canon users and those seeking a slightly better camera, the 400D is recommended.

My experiance with an SLR camera of any kind before l brought this was zero l don't think l'd even seen one before up close. The reason l decided l needed one was for taking shots of people while snowboarding at indoor domes in the UK for my company. It seemed logical as hiring a photographer isn't cheap.
I was very impressed with how lightweight and easy to use this camera was, within a few hours l had read the manual and was experimenting with different settings and effects to get different results. When it came to using the camera at an indoor dome the 3fps rate worked out brilliantly although the focusing not 100% l think due to the low light and the shutter not being quite quick enough the results were still really good using one of the focus features built in to keep the rider in focus whilst they were in the air.
When it came to using the camera for single shots again it worked out really well and gave excellent results considering l don't really know what l'm doing.
I've not got any extra lens's and only used the standard kit lense but for what l needed this did the job well l was also pleased to see that you can get additional lenses fairly cheap for a mid range quality one which is nice.
I was convinced before buying this camera l was going to get the Nikon D70s but the canon just felt so much better in the hand that l was swayed. The self cleaning sensor (whether it works or not yet l am unsure) is a nice feature.
Since buying this camera l brought a digital camera magazince where they compared the 400D to the Nikon D80 (a much more expensive camera) and only rated the Nikon 4% better, 86% to 90% which for the extra £250 the mag quoted the Nikon for l don't think is a bad comprimse.

This camera is capable of great things but not with the kit lens. The camera body is well made and easy to navigate. It is sometimes prone to under exposure, but that is easily fixed in photoshop. The flash is good for fill in outdoors or close up work but has a poor output for wide angles.
If you want to see what this camera is designed to deliver you must budget on spending between £500 to £1000 extra on a good lens otherwise stick to one of the better compacts.
Please do not underestimate how bad the kit lens is! It's like having a lawnmower engine in a Ferrari.

I have owned the 400D for 2 weeks now, Do I regret changing from the 20D - NO!
Why - much lighter and smaller - all the same facilities - the rear LCD shooting screen is a tremendous improvement over the tiny top mounted LCD screen - and 10.2Mpixels. If you have big hands though, the grip is designed for small Japanese fingers, and you may find it a bit tight.
Startup time is still vitually instant, shutter release time still fast, only drawback that I can see is the multiple shot speed is 3fps not 5.fps. The shutter is also much quieter.
BUT - why have they disabled the facility to shoot and save in RAW and smallest JPG? I understand that this facilty still exists but has been disabled. I found it useful to have a small JPG in addition to the RAW so I can quickly check my pictures on a simple browser.
Never mind - did you know the RAW image contains a JPG thumbnail which you can extract with some commercial RAW converters such as Breezebrowser?
Battery life is still excellent, but DO carry a spare battery. I often forget to turn it off and it does not consume battery power when asleep.
DO buy the 17-85 stabilised zoom lens - amazing - but a bit heavy.
Because of the 10.2 Mpixels I would recommend buying at least a 1Gb memory card as in RAW it will fill up after about 100 shots
Beware - at the time of writing Photoshop do not yet have a 400D RAW converter for CS2 - for the moment you will need to use a commercial converter (see above).
Conclusion - excellent value for money.

This is the first SLR i've purchased and used. I've always had a great interest in photography although was confused with so many different models around. This camera is light, user friendly and produces great pictures. If your new to photography and SLR I highly recommend the Canon 400D. So far i've had it for the past 6 months and i'm getting better at composing my pictures.
Yes, the kit lens does produce underexposed pictures but there are several other lenses out there that you can experiment with.
There will always be minor flaws with any new camera in the market but its how you use the camera that will make all the difference.
Ultimately a great buy. Good price compared to many others in the market and you also get to save money so you can buy another lens!

Have been thinking about a digital SLR for some time now and researched thoughroughly before taking the plunge. I have to say that this camera is worth every penny - the difference in quality and the versatility of shooting modes is absolutely fantastic - I even had some good depth of field shots after a few practice shots. A lot of the reviewers talk about the lense being shoddy - personally I am very pleased with the quality of shots that I have taken with this lense; I may consider upgrading in the future, but for now when I am only just learning the ropes, the lense is doing a great job. Overall, a great buy and excellent value for money (compared to similar spec DSLRs on the market).
