Just purchased a Canon EOS 400D with twin lense kit for $995 from Ted's Cameras (discount from $1090~)

Came with a free canon EOS carry case.

This photo was taken in auto mode. Will learn slowly how to do it all manually :D

I know this is an old thread but yeah.

I sell all these cameras and the canons are probably the best camera in in my opinion.

I have the 400D myself but i spent the extra money and got the twin IS kit. (has slightly better lenses and they are image stabilized) also some nice lenses for starts is a 50mm prime lens (50mm f/1.8 is a nice one it has a nice wide aperture for nice depth of field effects and lets lots of light in low light conditions. and only retails for $149 come see me at JBhi fi strathpine :P )

The 450D has been short stock because of the limited stock of the 50-250mm IS lens there is plenty of stock of the camera and 18-50 IS lens. this shortage ends at the end of this month. Also the new 1000D gets release the last week of august maybe wont reach stores until the first week of september.

Anyways i just felt like typing all of this.

for all the new people learning about SLR's canon have a nice tutorial on there site.

Teaches you a little about Tv Av and manual modes on your camera.

Hey there,

The camera I currently use is also a Canon 400D - great camera I will say, but unfortunately it isn't my own - i wish.

At the end of the year I'm looking to buy my own. Iwas thinking to possibly just buy the same model as I have been really happy with it, but what do you think I would be better off with, the 400D or the 450D?

They are both within my price range, just wondering on your opinions. I know the 450D has live view, which can be a bonus, but I have gotten so used to not having one, coming from a point-and-shoot Canon digital camera.

Cheers :P

hey fullyhyper

Just to let you know that the 400D no longer exists. it gets replaced with the 1000D at the end of this month. check out the canon website for the 1000D :D

the 1000D is practially the same as the 400D however it has

live view,

uses the digic III processor,

sd card instead of CF card,

only 7 points of AF and a couple of other minor changes.

It is also rumoured to retail at under $1000

IMO though live view on a SLR is a waste of time... kinda defeats the purpose of SLR camera's.

heck out the 1000D though mate. it looks nice for a entry level camera :ermm:

I checked out the 1000D, looks like a good camera, and not much different to the 450D either.

A great website my dad showed me, for checking out camera's is DP Review.

Did a comparison of the 2 cameras, and only slight changes between them.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_po...0d&show=all

Now i just have to figure out which one to get :D

The reason they released the 1000D is to introduce entry level SLR camera's into the consumer market.

Its very basic in SLR standards like all Entry level cameras. but the 1000D will eat all over the high end point and shoots.

So for people who want a fully auto camera but also want the speed + accuracy = 1000D (also then later on when they learn more about cameras they can experiment :banana:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
