Canon EOS 400D SLR Camera

Canon has announced the launch of its next-generation digital SLR camera, the EOS 400D. The new model, equipped with a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the new integrated EOS (Integrated Cleaning System), a larger and brighter 2.5-inch LCD screen and a 9-point AF system, will become the most popular camera in the world. In the lineup, the EOS 400D follows the EOS 350D, currently the most popular SLR camera. Launched in 2003, the Canon EOS 300D, the world's first digital SLR camera for the general consumer market, has revolutionized the digital world. “There is currently a significant increase in consumer interest in digital SLR cameras,” said Mogens Jensen, Responsible for Canon Consumer Imaging in Europe. Consumer research shows that digital SLR cameras are currently not the only ones with analogue DSLRs. “The high demand growth rate is due to the fact that, along with 21 million users of EOS analog cameras, a new type of consumer of digital cameras of this series has now appeared,” Jensen explained. “The pace of introducing products into the home has already exceeded 3% in Europe, so the question now is not whether this market will be large or not, but how large it will be.” Characteristics of the EOS 400D: 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor developed by Canon Integrated Cleaning System 2, 5-inch LCD with 230,000 pixels and 160 ° viewing angle high-precision 9-point AF system Picture Style with predefined image processing modes DIGIC II image processor, on-time 0.2 Digital Photo Professional software for RAW image processing compact and lightweight housing compatibility with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and Canon Speedlite EXCanon series flash units is the only manufacturer of digital SLR cameras with patented image sensor technology, percent Essor and lenses and producing these components in their facilities. “EOS cameras in the hands of photographers are the result of an investment in research and development of the EOS series for over 20 years,” said Jensen. - Photographers choosing the EOS series, they have at their disposal a photography system, all the elements of which are thought out to the smallest detail, which guarantees their perfect operation as a single balanced whole. It is not surprising that more than 70% of photographers registered at the Athens Olympics shot with EOS cameras. ” The EOS series is the result of Canon's commitment to provide its customers with the most versatile camera on the market with flexible expansion options for over 60 EF lenses and Speedlites. Improved Performance Along with the EOS built-in cleaning system, the EOS 400D also comes with a whole camera near technological innovations. The advanced high-sensitivity, high-speed, low-noise CMOS sensor now used on all six EOS DSLR models, allowed to increase the resolution from 8.0 to 10.1 megapixels. The brightest high-resolution LCD screen in the EOS series with a diagonal of 2.5 inches, which is almost twice as large as the EOS 350D, displays all the key shooting information, user interface elements, and also allows you to view images. The autofocus system has 9 points instead of 7; In addition, the f / 2.8 high-sensitivity center focus point provides exceptional shooting quality in low light. Despite the higher resolution, the number of frames in the series has almost doubled (from 14 to 27 in JPEG format and from 5 to 10 in RAW format). Dust elimination The EOS 400D is the first camera equipped with an integrated EOS cleaning system. An analysis of the causes of dust in digital SLR cameras allowed us to create a system that fights dust in three ways, Preventing, repelling and eliminating dust. Preventing the appearance of dust The internal elements of the camera are designed to reduce the appearance of dust. The camera body is designed to prevent dust from being worn. Dust repellent The low-pass filter located in front of the image sensor is created using an antistatic material and therefore repels dust. Dust Removal The self-cleaning image sensor uses high-frequency vibrations to “shake off” dust from the low-pass filter in for about one second after each inclusion. To instantly start shooting after turning on the power, this feature is immediately turned off when the shutter is released. Canon also developed an internal Dust Delete Data system that detects the position of any visible dust particles on the image sensor. After shooting, traces of this dust can be automatically removed using the latest Digital Photo Professional software. Benefits of the EOS Series The EOS 400D has a number of advanced features that were also used on higher-level models such as the EOS 30D and 5D. These include a 9-point autofocus system, the Picture Style function (see the “Technology Description” section), the ability to store up to 9999 images in folders, as well as extended support for the Pictbridge standard. The EIG 400D has the same DIGIC II processor that everyone is equipped with EOS cameras, up to professional EOS 1 models (see the Technology Description section). In addition to the higher image quality achieved with improved processing algorithms, as well as a short turn-on time (0.2 s), the DIGIC II processor, With its high image processing speed, it allows the photographer to continue shooting by quickly clearing the memory buffer between the series of shots. Convenience of modernization The same, well-understood user interface and similar arrangement of the main control functions provide the convenience of switching to the EOS 400D from earlier EOS camera models. Photographers can also use the same battery and BG-E3 battery pack that are used in the EOS 350D. In addition, the new camera, like previous models, supports all EF and EF-S lenses, Speedlite EX flash units and EOS camera accessories. Software Like all EOS digital SLR cameras, the EOS 400D comes with a full range of software tools to help photographer in working with images. This includes Digital Photo Professional (DPP), an efficient RAW file conversion tool that gives you complete control over the processing of your RAW image. This solution also integrates with camera features such as Dust Delete Data and Picture Style. The package for the new camera includes solutions such as EOS Capture, Image / Zoom Browser and Photostitch.
