Canon EOS 400D review

-
Image
The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi digital SLR is the s uccessor to the best-selling EOS 350D / Rebel XT . Announced in August 2006, it combines a number of anticipated improvements along with a few genuine surprises. Most people won’t be surprised to learn the 400D / XTi now features a larger 2.5in screen and Canon’s Picture Styles, but following the earlier EOS 30D, many equally expected the new entry-level body to employ the same sensor as its predecessor. But instead of re-using the 350D / XT’s 8 Megapixel sensor, Canon’s developed a brand new 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor for the 400D / XTi. This m akes it Canon’s highest resolution digital SLR with an EF-S lens mount to date. Improved Performance: As well as the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 400D incorporates a number of developments over the EOS 350D. Resolution increases from 8.0 to 10.1 Megapixels, using the superior hi-sensitivity, hi-speed, low-noise CMOS technology now found in all six EOS Digital mod

It is aimed at experienced amateur photographers, and has a features set to match. It has a wide range of shutter speeds, from 30 seconds to 1/4000th, a nine-point AF system with a cross-type f/5.6 central point, and the sophisticated 63-point metering system from the EOS 7D, more advanced than the 35-zone meter of the 500D. Pros Tweaked Auto ISO function High resolution LCD screen Quick control function Larger buttons Increased exposure compensation range Battery life Movie mode Cons Small buffer for RAW images Although improved, AF during LiveView could still be better Canon EOS 550D: Specification Resolution 18Mp Sensor size 22.3 x 14.9mm

Bokeh and DOF (depth of field) tips

-
Image
What is bokeh and DOF? Depth of field (DOF), refers to the area of an image that is in focus. You have most likely seen images where the main subject is in focus, while the background is out of focus or totally blured. The area that covers the focused area is the DOF (depth of field). Bokeh on the other hand, refers to the appearance of the light that is seen within the blured part of the photograph. Bokeh and DOF are important to consider for photographs when you need the main subject to stand out on its own and not be lost in background distractions. Isn't Bokeh and DOF the same thing? No, bokeh and depth of field is not the same thing, although they do work together. DOF is seen in a photograph where there is an obvious focus area, set against a blured background or foreground. Bokeh on the otherhand, refers to how your camera lens renders the light that is seen within the blured parts of the image.
