Canon EOS 400D XTi

I think I posted this one 3 months ago ...:

I just had my 400D since it was released here in Singapore last Sept. 8. :mrgreen:

I wanted to test the low light performance of the sensor which claimed it has reduced noise at 1600 ISO. So far murag ok ra gyud kaayo, its at par with my 30D.

Here's some test shots at my room... click on the image for full res. and exif.

ISO 1600, shot using the kit lens at F3.5


ISO 400, shot using the kit lens at F3.5

Indeed gamay ra ang noise at 1600, so far I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm a sucker for high ISO and fast lens ... which is important to me since shoot mostly at night ...

For those who are planning to buy an entry level DSLR, mas barato ang 400D than the 350D sa introductory price, the Sony alpha ug Nikon D80 ... I got mine here in SG for SGD $1530 for the 400D kit, the 350D now sells here at SGD $1200+. Sold my Sony alpha DSLR (which was a dissappointment) para lang palit ani.

Btw .. I'm selling my 30D to fund another lens purchase ... PM me if interested. Willing to negotiate.

Of course I got no idea about your dslr needs but I suggest that if your budget allows it go for the 30D instead.

Isn't the 30D 2x the price of the 400D? Naa pa man gud lens to think about. *sigh*

[Ian]

Boss koto, yes they do.. I can help you ship the items if you want.. But to save up for the freight charges.. much better to have other parties getting something..

Ian, nice to see the D200 come down in price, I believe my friend got it at full retail. BTW, I'm a big donor at BH.

[Ian]

OT
I got mine at $2,000 something.. +tax and +insurance.. But its a good thing to have your gadgets insured.. no regrets..

B&H Prices still without taxes.. or + shipping if applicable..

Ian, $2k+ just for the body? Sounds like a lot.
