Author's Review

The Canon EOS 400D is the best digital camera for your money. I take lots of pictures, often 1000 per month, and this is the only camera that takes great shots every time. I like to take pictures of my kids, and the 400D manages to catch them perfectly, I especially love the portrait mode that makes all my candid shots look like they were done in a studio. Also, the manual settings that you can use let you take shots you can’t get with a point and shoot- like when we had a lunar eclipse the other night, I was able to set the aperture and shutter just right so I got a perfectly exposed shot, not just a blurry orange blob like my husband got with our other digital. If you already have a Canon SLR, you can use those lenses with the body. I got the 18-55mm lens that comes with this kit, and it is really good for your everyday shots, like the kids and pets and stuff. If you want to upgrade, you should get a telephoto of some sort, plus a tripod. The 400D also has mirror lock-up, which might not seem that important until you try to take nice shots of long-distance objects or landscapes or even some low-light situations. The lock-up feature prevents the camera from shaking in that instant the photo is taken, so it’s perfectly crisp. If you’re serious, you should invest in a cable or wireless release too. They’re not that expensive, but if you want great landscape shots, the 400D and cable release is a sure-fire recipe. Overall, this is a great camera for professional looking pictures without a $5k price tag.
