What issue? That it's a so-so camera?

Sometimes I wish these "reviews" didn't exist. They take away the "shoot" in photography.

totally agreed bro

a DSLR only makes our job at phototaking EASIER, not "confirm can".

this truth hit me even more when 2 top prize winners at a photo comp were using PnS cams and their images were "WOW", while compared to my DSLR image. :'(

as i always say,
Shoot MORE, LEARN MORE!!!

Happy SHOOTING!

Reviews only concentrate on the ergonomics and technical capabilities of the camera. Given Canon's reputation, they won't sell a camera that is so unusable that it handicaps your creativity in photography. It's targeted at the entry-level market segment who is owning a DSLR camera for the first time and so may not appreciate the better functions the amateurs may miss.

Ergonomics-wise, the 400D may be a bit too small and uncomfortable to handle, but as I've said, it's not so bad that it impedes your photography experience.

If you are not comfortable with the camera then don't buy it. If you've already bought the camera and just want to justify your purchase, I think it's a very bad habit to do post-purchase research.

Well said, Ah Pao :thumbsup:!

Also, which review sites that you are talking about? Are they trustable and not linked to other camera makers :dunno:

Sometimes, ppl are paid to write something good for certain products and bad on certain products. As a consumer ourselves, we need to mature enough to judge them ourselves instead of jumping to the conclusion based on certain negative or positive reviews by certain reviews. ;p

So so camera?

This camera has some better spec than that of 30D and it is up to the photog to make full use of the camera.

Do u have the 400D?

If u have, read the manual; learn more about the cam; shoot more

If u dont have and still think it is a so so camera then I suggest 1D Mk 3. This is a good good cam but then again if one's skills are just so so then there is no pt getting even the 400D.

May be it is a so so camera for those high end user or rich user.
For a so so camera like this, is great enough for so so user like me.

The range of Canon camera products is targeted for different market
level. So it depends on where does each individual stands on the market.

I don't think I will buy 1dmk3 if 400d suits me and my pocket now even it is
a best camera in the world.

What do you mean by so-so? If you compare it against the 1D MK III of coz it is a so-so camera :bsmilie: Canon has 3-level of positioning and 400D is in the bottom of that triangle while the 1D series in on top. Review are review, they are still rewritten by human. The tenderacy to be biased toward any is there. 400D/Rebel Xti/Kiss N is a great camera for first timer and amauter if not if will not be the best selling SLR model in Japan and the United States.

I only owned 350D but I can't say it is a so-so camera, because I does provide what I want, at the moment. .. .

Each to it's own,

I'm so excited about my 400D just collected it from CSC for calibration for under exposure and I can't wait to shoot with this baby.

Although this is an entry level DSLR but IMO it's a very good camera, can't find any fault with it now.:thumbsup:

When it come to 400D, I have to interfere...below are some of the pictures taken from the wilds with 400D...

this is a very decent camera with production of good quality pictures...

 

[ggodetucsamoht]

well commented bros........................

as what i found out, 400D is actually getting a positive review lesser thean the older 350D.
which is infact 350D is better than 400D...................
i am using 400D, i am quite satisfy with its everything except my "skills" tats all....as for the grip, i think it is rather good........just nice for my short fingers..............

I think the main reason was that 350d was launched at a time when there were no formidable competitors at it's price point... plus the move up from 300d to 350d is so much more than from 350d to 400d... The 400d isn't that well equiped either compared to it's rivals at the same price... the sony alpha kit is selling at the same price as the 400d kit in europe and US... sony has in body IS and better kit lens with greater range.....

For 350D there is no picture style , that means there is no way to customise the saturation, sharpness, tones....The default itself is pretty good.

In 400D one can toy with the picture style. As i like saturated and vivd colors I max out the color style and found it works best in day light. In low light it wont work. I have to shoot more.

If u see the pic of the birds the pic are impressive to me.

In short the 400D is pretty good stuff and in one year' time the 450D will likely to come with live view and Digic 3 of course.

Overall I like the 400D and as I shoot more I discover more about the camera's characteristics.

maybe this may also be one of the reason.......

 

[ggodetucsamoht]

yes, you are right, indeed some function in 400D you are not able to find in other high end model.......
i think i start off the thread in a wrong title liao, i sld start with "what is the special function on 400D" instead........

 

[mk4000]

from this thread http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=271503 shows that u really need to learn more about DSLR. It is totally diff from pns. u need to understand the lenses' characteristics too and the effects of varying the f# and shutter speed etc...
