Pros: Compact and lightweight

Cons: Never managed to take a decent photo

Opinion: After years I have to give up: the 400D was my first digital SLR that accompanied me in the long, difficult and not entirely digested transition from analog. Unfortunately, in contrast to all the opinions expressed here, I have never been able to fully understand it. I never got good photos, always flat, overexposed, with little "dynamics". Never understood or managed to use white balance. In short, apart from the handling I was disappointed also in relation to its market positioning. I then took a 50D (great but weighs like a concrete block) and now I wait for an 800D. Fingers crossed.

Pros: files, size, low-duty files

Cons: nobody

Opinion: I honestly don't remember much about this machine, but I remember something very specific.. it was my first DSLR after so many studies and desires. Taken used by a boy my age, the first experiments were born immediately, the first photos.. The files it returns are great, I remember the nice colors, good sharpness even with mediocre lenses, since its 10mps are not very demanding.. Sold for 30D, at the moment there is much better, electronics and technology makes great strides, if I had to recommend it, maybe I would say to orient yourself at least on the 450D that in my opinion had an extra 360 degree gear.

Pros: Excellent reflex still valid. Lightweight but perfect files. Up to 800 ISOs can be taken stunning photos.

Cons: None for age.

Opinion: Excellent very compact REFLEX, I also have CANON eos 350D and this reflex is even better. Even if it's old you get quality photos. The 2.5" display is great for me and even if it doesn't have the live view I don't care. Although today's SLRs have greater sensitivity, in landscape photos I use ISO 100 on tripod and remote shooting. I'll keep it for a long time longer, I'm as fond of the CANON EOS 350D that was my first DSLR. With the batterygrip it is perfect.

Pros: Robust-light-reliable-with good light you still get some nice light photo files

Cons: Noise above the 400 ISO-maybe the side points

Opinion: It was my first reflex, bought by my father in 2006 and always shared in journeys made in these years, he never abandoned us. The fly, if you use the center point (unlike the sidebars), is not a problem .Over 400 ISO is better not to push because the noise is noticed much, but under "normal" light conditions it is still possible to make very pleasant clicks, even with the "plasticotto" 18-55 .Pur having big hands, I have never been awkward to handle. I recommend to those who want to start taking photos because the first body is definitely fine. Now I'm thinking of buying a 6d and holding the 400d as the second body, because it has never disappointed me and the factor Of crop of crop always makes it comfortable.

Pros: Indestructible - compact - performance still appreciable

Cons: Does not have the liveview - viewfinder dark - small display - very high noise above 400 iso - cf slot mechanism a little fragile

Opinion: I have it for 9 years and I never risparmiata.rnAi time was satisfactory in all, now it shows the weakness of the lack of liveview that combined with the classic sights of mediocre entrylevel does not allow to easily use manual lenses. Even the noise at high ISO is very high when compared to the models most recenti.rnLa construction but I always seemed superior to his heirs, the brainchild of robustness that has been confirmed by my numerous "crash test" .rnIl display a little small, not the maximum in review photos. The 10 megapixel sensor alone has the advantage of bringing out light files to be processed even if you do not have a super computer. I never felt the need to have more megapixel.rnManca spot metering but ... installing the software on the CF 400plus you can easily add, and it works well!

Pros: Convenient to carry around / Menu simple and intuitive / Advantage of low resolution for storage and use of slow economic

Cons: Noise ISO / Tendency to underexpose / Easy to inadvertently change ISO, and other settings in situations "stressful"

Opinion: And 'my only SLR, the possess since 2007. It 'quite simple and intuitive to use. Sforna file 10MP and I consider this an advantage for archiving and for those who use me as a cheaper lenses (18-55 / 17-85 / 55-250 / 50 1.8) and therefore not very resolvents. The autofocus in relation to the price, it behaves discreetly; clearly in low-light situations (churches, interior, etc ...) is in trouble but the limit is also given by the lens you are using. For example, it is already known the difference between a 50 1.8 (slow enough nell'autofocus) and a 18-55 (first series / discreetly fast nell'autofocus considering the price). To focus using the center point (a much more powerful than others), and recompose. Many complain that it is impractical to hold for those with big hands: although big hands I have never found it difficult to hold it. However, if this were a problem, simply attach the battery grip (optional). One problem I have insteadfound (which I think is common to many other machines) is the ease with which under conditions of "stress" is easy to change ISO and other settings by accident. Example: you are photographing a couple in a park and you move frequently and do many shots. In these cases, sometimes without realizing it I inadvertently changed the ISO setting (fortunately shooting in RAW!). At high ISO is not the best but you have to consider the fact that it is a APS-c.

Pros: compact and light conditions are not difficult, still excellent

Cons: does not have the live-view, noisy above ISO 400 ..

Opinion: My first SLR, bought in USA in 2008 (rebelXTI) ... that still produces great pictures ... rncerto conditions must be excellent in the evening without a tripod there is 1.8 which takes ... and the focus is often on the fritz, but to learn is definitely favolosa.rnCon good lenses, frankly plasticotto 18-55 do not even remember where I put it, churning out photos of all rispetto.rnLa lack of live makes it very difficult for macro, but frankly novice even if the photos are slightly blurry ... who cares rn

Pros: Lightness, reactivity, goodness of the files in the presence of light, the durability of the camera body. Good location of the controls.

Cons: Poor performance at high iso.

Opinion: Using the machine since 2006, currently about 30'000, and I have never had problems. You can can appreciate its true potential are combining it with good targets. Personally, since the use with fixed focal lengths, I can say that at low ISO (100-200) produces excellent file. At high ISO 400-800 photos make it very well printed, while the screen there is a lack of detail rendering, with electronic noise. rnLe major limitations so you have photo with low light, while the rest, the limit is as usual the photographer. I recommend it to everyone especially to those who must begin by deciding that the budget is oriented more on goals than on camera bodies. rnL'Af, it has never given me too many problems, but I do not do photo hunting so I do not comment. For normal use it does the job.

Pros: Lightweight and quite easy to use: excellent for ... principianti.Dimenticavo reliable and battery life!

Cons: Iso made in the absence of light ....

Opinion: Shots all over in the presence of light ... shows its limits in the absence of the latter, especially if the subject moves: useless, in these cases, the light does not lack treppiede.Se take home decent shots. I learned so much from the 400D much to think about switching to FF! rimmarrà The 400D beside me the first shot dicitale never forget!

Pros: Robust, easy to use, high-contrast images with standard light.

Cons: Noise over 400 ISO, in crisis in difficult lighting conditions, limitations due to the design period.

Opinion: For four years my only digireflex, I'm waiting for the new version of the 7D. When combined with a lens of race (17/40L and 70/200L) images, light standard, they are really excellent quality. Logically lacks technologically by date design (ISO, AF, Burst, etc..) But I am very pleased with what he gave me over the years and I was able to learn the management of digital so you can now switch to a Canon more sophisticated. Certainly at the time one of the best entry-level. I would definitely recommend his descendants 550D/600D for those who want to experience.

Pros: Small, lightweight, pocket-I would say (in a large bag), good management settings, simple menu, "good" image quality, 10Mpx, light meter.

Cons: Small viewfinder, AF really PENOSO, noticeable noise, small for those with large hands, slow.

Opinion: I use it because of family but not never buy and I'll explain why, not good then AF can not keep the subject (moving) in focus, and that's why I had to throw a lot of shots. The exposure seems rather good, cane rarely. With 10Mpx are you doing enough, even prints 30x45 and a little 'more. It has a small viewfinder and dense therefore difficult to use with manual lenses. Noticeable noise at 800ISO but when printed, the photos, you do not notice. It 's very small, so if you had big hands consiglo the BG, is light then goes wrong with lenses like 70-200 2.8, 300mm, etc. Of course being a reflex the entrylevel you buy knowing what you go against so for those who are beginners is just fine!

Pros: light, no frills, economical, high-performance

Cons: small viewfinder (like all the entry level), noisy even at low iso

Opinion: I have been a happy owner until three days ago and I am separated only by switching to FF. I learned with her and I must say that for a beginner or a person who makes a limited use of photography or "tourist" is the ideal machine. Light, powerful and durable, easy to use is its only drawback are the iso can not be exploited, to be honest for me has never been a problem since the film already used 400 iso are so many and so I never put that problem, the same thing for Liew view and movies that I think of little importance in a camera. Combined with good objectives to very good results so my advice for those who need to start is to aim for a similar item and invest initially in optical quality, when you feel the need to do an upgrade (maybe to FF) can be taken as a second body or resold without too much difficulty.

Pros: Value for money excellent! At the time, excellent entry-level machine! Display very detailed and bright. Ease of use

Cons: GIAA low ISO noise!

Opinion: My only current SLR, I am aware that technology has made great strides but I think it still would recommend it to anyone approaching the world of photography now. The only drawback the noise level, in my opinion, already high at low ISO settings. In normal lighting conditions, however, gives great shots! I think it will be by my side for some time! In conclusion, a worthy entry-level hobby has always been in great results!

Pros: Compact, lightweight, but also durable. Display very detailed and bright.

Cons: The exposure sottoespone slightly and in this connection the monitor very bright deceiving.

Opinion: I used it at the time as a reflex battle and despite the battles I had to change not to a fault. If it were not for her I could have continued to use for years to come. It 'indestructible, sturdy and lightweight at the same time. The noise is well contained and quality, with its 10 megapixel, not bad. The exposure of the 400D has a slight tendency to underexpose, but in reality, in my opinion, is not only a defect. Often avoids burning some points of high lights, thereby preventing loss of data. If he was still on the market recommend it to those who are beginners, but does not have the video and today (2011) technology and then the 1000D 1100D is highly superior.

Pros: Value for money excellent - Under standard light image quality of good - and I sensed Menu Direct - Ergonomics more than satisfactory.

Cons: Viewfinder too too small, so control of PDF useless - AF poor performance - Noise evident already at a low ISO (400ISO).

Opinion: My current and only reflex.Ben aware of the features that I can say that a car is "sincere" which is established from the outset a good feeling.Una Once you understand what you can do take home more than decent shots ( especially when combined with a good quality lens.) Let's say for comparison is like the first tennis racket, poor performance, with few frills, but it helps to develop the technique and the correct movement, so the 400D teaches you to photograph . It forces you to assess what is the light and the direction of light better (because it is in this condition that gives the best of itself), often forces you to focus manually (since the AF is not as accurate) and not finally, given the low performance in high ISO, forces you to take the habit of the stand. In conclusion I would say a 'good car in preparation for the photograph.
