Canon EOS 400D

 Sample Image

The EOS 350D used to be the budget D-SLR that the other manufactorers wanted to beat, now however Canon have raised the bar with the EOS 400D, this camera combines top of it's range performance and specification.

Canon's 400D has a lightning fast autofocus and excellent metering, it's an easy camera to use and has a simple, approachable design. As with some of the other models the Canon has a large rear LCD monitor, but it's handling is let down by it's really thin handgrip which doesn't give you a really good hold on the body, but if your looking for something a little more compact the 400D is a great buy.
