The Canon EOS 400D, more commonly known as the Canon EOS Rebel XTi in North
America, is a single-lens reflex digital camera. Canon introduced this
unique looking camera in 2006 as the successor to their EOS 350D. Canon
considers the Rebel to be the best entry-level DSLR of its kind on the
market. It's priced well below $1,000.00 which makes it affordable
especially when the lens is included. It produces some fine images with
pure, sharp colors and it's also very quiet. Canon upgraded the CMOS sensor
to an impressive 10.1 megapixels. Among the other added features we get a
larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor, vibrating
cleaning system and a more precise nine point auto focus system. Canon
didn't stop there! They even improved the grip of the unit and gave us a
nice 2.5" LCD with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaced
an ill-conceived top status screen. The changes Canon made to the newer
model has a tendency to underexpose the subject whereas the older versions
overexposed.
