Canon EOS 400D ?
So, this has taken much longer that I expected. The announcement of the next Canon DSLR model as a reply to Nikon’s launch of the 10 megapixel D80
As the site says, these are still rumours, but, I guess it is now about time that Canon launched a new DSLR in this range. And again, rather rightly so, one wonders as to what happens to the Canon EOS 30D if this new one launches. The Canon EOS 350D / Rebel XT is mean machine (though a bit small & light to handle) and would meet the needs of any advanced amateur. What is required is a pro-quality body of the sort that 30D has. So, this is all getting very muddy indeed !
From Gizmodo, here’s the feature set :
- 10.1 effective Megapixels
- APS-C size 22.2 x 14.8 mm CMOS image sensor
- Focal length of 1.6x
- Dust removal system
- 3 frames per second – maximum of 27 JPEG or 10 RAW
- 9-point auto focus system
- 2.5-inc LCD monitor
Let’s see what works for me …
10 Megapixels … well, not so kicked
Dust removal system … mmmm, lets see …
3 fps … I dont shot Sports
9 point AF … looks good
2.4 inch LCD … pretty good
So, in pure photography terms, there isn’t much for me in the supposed feature set of 400D. Also, there is no mention of the body
Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi)

And, by the way, here’s another rumour on the 400D … this one has a built in cellphone !!!
