Canon EOS 400D Digital SLR Camera (18-55mm Lens Kit) [Electronics]

Product Information

Olympus, along with Kodak and Panasonic adopted the 4/3 standard roughly equivalent to a 35mm half-frame camera. ie 18x24mm instead of the full 24x36. If you are buying a half size camera you will need half size lenses to go with it. The EOS 400D is up against some very accomplished competition, but it gets off to a running start by being a third-generation product, with a design that has evolved over several years. Physically it is very similar to the 350D, with a lightweight and compact body made of tough polycarbonate plastic over a stainless steel chassis, although it is in fact a completely new body. Build quality is very good, with none of the cheap and flimsy feeling of the 300D. The battery and card hatches have metal hinges, and although the port cover is a rubber plug it fits well and will keep dust at bay.

The minimum shutter speed is the longest exposure time the camera can achieve, allowing for more light to enter, which is useful in low-light situations. Nikon SLRs have used the same Nikon F mount since their inception. A claw was added in the 1970s to engage with the aperture ring and control it automatically from the camera's exposure meter. Their have been a number of updates in latter years. Although any lens made by or for Nikon will fit any Nikon DSLR it may not provide all the features available on the later cameras.PROCESSOR: Non-DIGIC | DIGIC| DIGIC II| DIGIC III| DIGIC 4 / 4+| DIGIC 5 / 5+| DIGIC 6 / 6+| DIGIC 7| DIGIC 8| DIGIC X Atomos Canon Fujifilm Hahnel Hama Kenko Nikon Olympus OM System Sigma Sirui Sony Sundry Think Tank Zhiyun All Brands

Time-lapse photography allows you to capture a series of frames at set intervals, which are then combined into a video that shows a process, like a sunset, happening much faster. The 400D uses the same highly acclaimed Digic II image processing engine as the 350D, but is now equipped with a nine-point AF system, a much wider range of features and a vastly improved control interface. The 400D offers a huge range of picture adjustment and control, but at the same time manages to be accessible and easy to use. The key element is the Picture Style option. There are nine pre-set Picture Style settings, all of which can be customised for sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone, with nine increments of adjustment for each parameter. The default settings are for standard, portrait (less sharpness) landscape (extra sharpness), neutral, faithful and three user-defined settings. When shooting, these Picture Style settings can be selected by simply pressing the Set button and scrolling up or down on the D-pad. It make accurate professional picture quality control very easy. Thankfully the annoying feature of the 300D and 350D, where menu choices had to be confirmed by pressing the Set button has been dropped.Canon T8i vs SL3 vs 4000D vs T7 vs SL2 and find the full list of the models in this series at the Canon Rebel Series Camera Timeline.
