Very good offer

Pros: Easy, intuitive, very powerful, great dust-remover

Cons: ISO is limited to 1600 max, "warm" pictures at times

The EOS 400D owns some very useful and innovative features, like a perfect dust-remover (superior to the Olympus), a high megapix value (10,2) and a very good responsiveness. 9 point focus is a nice feature as well. The quality of the images is extremely good, but some things can be improved. Portraits get a very warm colouring and need slight corrections for press-usage, more WB options by default would be welcomed (can be set manually though), as well as an iso range above 1600 (for night panorama or theater pictures). Apart from that, the 400D is a very powerful and highly recommended camera.

The compatibility with older EOS equipment is a nice addon. It can use EF and EFS lenses and is still compatible with the Speedlite 380X. Nice surprise.

I recommend to use the camera together with the BG-E3 battery grip, which makes the camera much more comfortable to use. ...
