Canon 400D

I just read the brochure about this camera and was thinking of whether to get this camera. Has anyone tried it? If so, do you have any photos to share with us and what are your opinions about it? Easy to use? How's the performance?

i've tried it. very compact and light dslr, v responsive (almost instant start-up and negligible shutter lag) and good performance at higher iso. i like the small size cos i'm used to smaller digicams. quite easy to use but tends to underexpose by about 1 stop in some situations. AF speed is fast and so far no problem with dust. shutter is pretty quiet but of course not silent like a digicam. image quality is excellent, though i have only shot JPEGS so far. i imagine shooting RAW would yield better image quality. 10mp is great and gives more flexibility for you to crop your images.

There are quite similar threads asking similar things to what you are asking, within this Canon forum. You might want to search around for these threads. They're quite recent.

this must be the xxxth 400D thread asking for opinions.
