10.1MP CMOS Sensor
EOS 400D uses a high performance APS-C sized 10.1-Megapixel CMOS sensor, developed and manufactured by Canon, with effective pixels of 3,904 x 2,598. It offers a wide dynamic range and lifelike colour reproduction. It is also capable of superb image capture with excellent resolution, sharpness and clarity. The sensor possesses high light sensitivity, offering a wide range of ISO speeds from 100 to 1600. EOS 400D also comes with an on-chip noise reduction circuitry on the sensor that is found in higher end models to capture high quality images with low noise.
 
DIGIC II Imaging Processor
Canon's DIGIC II imaging processor provides ultra-fast processing speeds and reproduces images of exceptional quality with accurate white balance, faithful colour reproduction and stunning clarity. The camera can capture fast moving action with a fast start-up time of a mere 0.2 second and continuous shooting speed at a rapid 3 frames per second with maximum burst of 27 JPEG (Large/Fine) or 10 RAW images.
 
EOS Integrated Cleaning System

Usually when lenses are changed, dust may settle on the first low pass filter in front of CMOS sensor, and appears as unwanted specks and shadows on photos, which require the hassle to be retouched later. Canon's new EOS Integrated Cleaning System (EOS I.C.S.) offers both hardware (Self Cleaning Sensor Unit) and software (Dust Delete Function) approach to fight dust. Manual sensor cleaning is also available.

The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit uses piezoelectric element to generate ultrasonic vibrations in the first optical low pass filter in front of the CMOS sensor to shake off dust when camera is switched on and switched off. Sticky dust is made inconspicuous in taken images using the appended Dust Delete Data with the Digital Photo Professional 2.2 software.

 
High Precision 9-point AF

EOS 400D comes with a proven high precision 9-point AF system for extraordinary precise focusing in all shooting conditions. With any f/2.8 or larger aperture lenses, the centre AF point works as a high-precise cross-type sensor for fast precise shooting.

 
2.5" LCD and Enhanced User Interface
EOS 400D comes with a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor (approx.230, 000 pixels) with 160o wide viewing angle for easy viewing. Its new user-friendly User Interface (UI) and wide selection of enhanced shooting, playback and recording functions makes operating EOS 400D effortless. The EOS 400D's new Display-off Sensor automatically switches off the LCD when it detects the user's face approaching the viewfinder to alleviate annoyance of monitor's glare when user looks into the viewfinder.
 
Picture Style - The New 'Digital Film'
The Picture Style function provides photographers with 6 intuitive presets optimised for different types of photography such as portraits and landscapes. Users can further fine tune processing parameters such as sharpness, contrasts, colour tone and colour saturation to achieve different photographic expressions. More Picture Style files are available for download from Canon websites.
 
Printing & Connectivity
Canon EOS 400D is PictBridge-compatible for camera-direct printing and features USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connectivity for faster file transfers to computer. When used with a compatible Canon PictBridge printer, a full range of PictBridge functions is available for enhanced printing possibilities.
 
Optional Accessories & Software
Software bundled together with the Canon EOS 400D includes the EOS Digital Solution Disk 13.0 and Digital Photo Professional 2.2 for processing and managing images. Optional accessories to partner with EOS 400D include the Battery Grip BG-E3 or EH18-L semi-hard case.
