New Canon EOS 400d

[rcp]

Canon has released the spec on the replacement for the popular 350d DSLR camera.

Not a massive difference but some small improvements like a bigger screen and self cleaning sensor!

self cleaning sensor!

Dave, time to upgrade!

 

[-TA-]

long overdue on the sensor cleaning!

my 20d gets them all the time, its silly!

Dave, time to upgrade!

lol, got all excited about that when i read it this morning on the register, its a very good upgrade and a shame mine is only 8 months old, can't really justify the upgrade yet but i really like the new features, bigger screen, self cleaning sensor, more megapixels and a long burst of shots, i'd call that a very good upgrade!

Just need to 'lose' mine now

Just to upset you more Dave, the 70-200 4L now has IS!

I was just about to get that lense - so will wait now for the IS version.

Holy crap... 16.7MP on this one:

Will be a fair bit more money so I have read. Double the cost of the non IS possibly. Will only weigh a touch more so is not in danger of becoming a monster like the 2.8 70-200.

My take on IS, I have it on my 300mm F4L and have never switched it on yet.

JJ - check out the price of it to!

Think i'll be staying put for now

I still am eyeing up the 30D to be honest.

Yeah, you could be right. Maybe I'll see if it comes down in price a bit towards Christmas time.

Seriously? I don't even use all he 350D's features or max potential yet!

I've just seen the price!

 

[SimonD]

My 10D is still going strong! I played with a 30D but think I'll wait until they up it to 10Mp, in other words when the 40D comes out! TBH, the 400D will probably out perform my 10D, but I need something with a higher frame rate so I'm waiting for the next 'mid range' body from Canon. Either that or a second hald 1D MkII when the prices come down!

I could do with a second body thats all

But no the 350D with some decent lenes does me fine.

what does it give you over ours though, just looks heavier to me and gives a better burst?

I am confused as to the difference vetween something like the 30d and the 400d?

both use the EF-S lens?

Must admit rich, since using my 70-200L i can't say i am begging for IS and not have ever used one with it i kind of don't know what i am missing, wouldn't really want anything heavier than what i have and also, if the price is going to shoot up i am glad i have what i have tbh. Just sometimes wish it was 300 instead of 200

 

[Rich]

The 400D replaces the 350D

The 30D replaced the 20D. (Next model level up from the 350D)

Both are still 1.6 Crop bodies yes.

I knew you would find it to short! I did an ended up with the 300 f4L IS in addition to the 70-200 ( which has not been back on the camera since!)

i found it for £4500 not including any lenses lol!!!
