CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.8

out of 10

View score

The good: Compact and lightweight; fast and responsive; intelligently designed with shooting-friendly layout.

The bad: Second status LCD has been eliminated; slow kit lens; no spot metering; poor exposure of backlit subjects.

The bottom line: The Canon EOS 400D remains a very good first dSLR, but ultimately a disappointing followup to the 350D, which cedes its lead to the Nikon D80.

Bundled software is great, very fast and easy to use.

Good Camera

Jan 20, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Take pictures real fast, sharp and in natural tone.
Cons: Backlit exposure is indeed a disappointment. Pictures tend to be a bit dark so need to add flash.
Opinion:
When I first got my first SLR camera I was elated. It was a 10/10 on my first month. Then 9/10 after a few months and now after about a year, i'll give it a 8/10.
The pictures are sharp, and it's very easy. I've also upgraded to a better lens to get f2.8 aperture.
All in all, I think it's a great camera.
