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.

Have a good time with your cameras guys

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:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
