Anything as subjective as overall image quality, build quality, usability, menusystem etc can only be judged after a sufficiently long field-testing period, ie taking pictures. Interestingly, the lens has a metal mount which is generally unheard of in kit lenses, so it is very refreshing to see a company making the effort. This point aside, the Pentax can take CR-V3 batteries which will last longer and although rechargeables are available, these shouldn't be used as the difference in voltage could damage the camera. Megapixel sensor employs the same outstanding CMOS image quality advantage of its big brothers in the professional EOS 1 range. Pressing the Set button whilst out of any menus brings up its own menu to change how the image is colour processed.

The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. I like the boost of colour it gives which is a breath of fresh air compared to the Canon and Olympus. The 400D uses Canon's Digic II chipset rather than the newer Digic III, and we wonder if the company might have been able to eke out better performance and noise suppression with the latter. quote] Eix, I'm sorry you do not agree with my decision, you are obviously a fan of Olympus and the camera was a close second.

Though the CMOS imager used by the 400D is the same physical size as the version in the 350D, Canon crammed more pixels into the space to bump up the resolution and improved the design of the microlenses that sit atop each photosite -- the microlenses gather indirect light and focus it back on the sensor -- as well as increases the size of the photosites themselves. We soon learned the knack of quickly swapping Canon's EOS lenses onto the body of the 400D to minimise the amount of time dust has to creep onto the camera's sensor. I think the AA battery issue with the Pentax is a little bit of a red herring as the latest generation of rechargables, such as the Hybrio from Uniross or Eneloops from Sanyo, make it a non issue. Shot at ISO800 and at the widest aperture I could get with the light and focal length, the shutter speed was 1/40 second and the image is still sharp despite a slow speed. Oh boy, where do we start, first of all, using a discontinued E500 in a review comparing current cameras?

This week, the World Photography Organization announced the shortlist for Student and Youth Photographer of The Year, part of the broader Sony World Photography Awards of 2024.Less important but just as noticeable are the removal of the status LCD, replaced instead by a camera settings screen on the now larger 2. But when its predecessor -- in this case, the EOS 350D -- was renowned for producing excellent, low-noise photos at a more-than-adequate 8-megapixel resolution, it's risky to replace it with a higher-resolution but potentially lower-sensitivity chip as Canon did with the EOS 400D.
