About this deal

The results are pleasing with a balanced exposure on the landscape although the colours seem a little pale at f/22 with a shutter speed of 1/30 second. Canon have been a little sneaky with the lens mount as the lens has a different mount to the usual EF lenses. As an electronics company, Sony should know little about photography and it seems they have waited until they can use the expertise of Minolta before releasing a DSLR. 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. so I have an issue and I can't find anything on the canon page to help me, but my lcd screen doesn't work so I can have a live view of what I take a picture of.

The mode dial offers all the usual features with the addition of the good old Bulb setting for ultra long exposures. Many first-time dSLR users are put off by the inability on some models to use the LCD as a viewfinder, but we came to love the what you see is what you get aspect of using the eyepiece.It has a big chunky grip and also has some weight to it which will be more balanced when coupled with a heavier lens but that could make it a bit too heavy for some users. Looks a little odd, this is what I found in the small print on my warranty card`s and on the Olympus UK site. Holding the camera to your eye also stabilises it somewhat -- useful in low light situations where blurry shots tend to occur.

In fact, we couldn't avoid severe underexposures of a backlit subject with the available metering tools, which is inexcusable for a camera of this class. The portrait gives the image a slightly green tinge to the skin as the Olympus does, but this can be attributed to the reflection of the flora being picked up by the camera. The E-500 has 13 different settings for ISO and whilst a lot of these are stupidly close to each other to notice a difference, they may come in useful. Megapixel sensor employs the same outstanding CMOS image quality advantage of its big brothers in the professional EOS 1 range.The menu navigation buttons double up to alter the White balance, ISO rating, metering areas and Auto focus selections. On the issues of depth of field, I`ve come to the conclusion there are none with fourthirds, a year ago my views would have been different. The 400D is one of the smallest in the test and a lot of people shy away because they are too small to cope with.

megapixels on the 400D), improved auto focus (nine focal points on the 400D rather than the 350D's seven) and a larger, 2. Four buttons adorn the left side of the screen which are used for Playback of images, Menu access, zoom in and zoom out. and both are the DT range of lenses which are believed to be manufactured by Tamron as Sony also owns a stake in the lens company. It took Matt Grayson weeks of preparation like standing infront of the mirror practising jokes, hiring the tuxedo and drinking honey and lemon juice to improve his voice before being told that compering had been spelled incorrectly.On the opposite side of the built-in flash, a function button allows quick access to certain options by use of a second dial followed by depressing the Fn button. Sony is bringing a shutter angle setting to its two more affordable alpha-branded Cinema Line cameras, the FX3 and FX30, with a firmware update.

Noise is starting to show in low key which seems to disappear in ISO800 but boosts in the grey area. The two buttons nearest the thumb are the custom white balance button where you can point the camera at something white and the camera will set the white balance to the whiteness of that object and the AF zone select.The headline changes are another two megapixel step up (to ten megapixels), the nine-point AF sensor from the EOS 30D, a new dust removal system which includes anti-static surface coatings, low-pass filter vibration and software based dust pattern removal. EF lenses intended for full frame cameras can be mounted on EF-S bodies, but EF-S lenses cannot be mounted on EF bodies. It was gloriously sunny until I set off then obviously the cloud came over as I drove to my destination giving the dreary results. A mode dial dominates the top of the body with the operations explained easier like having S for Shutter priority and not Tv.
