I bought the 400D kit for RM2550 at Fotokem for 12 months 0% a few weeks back
tripod + bag + screen protector + 2GB CF

hmm just realise there's a 350D/400D thread. Got mine in Sept, 400D + EF-S 17-85IS lens. Plan to add either a 50mm f1.8 or a 60mm macro lens later

oh my gallery is here or for more, go to my flickr gallery

u r on the list bro.

I normally shoot in M mode with my kit lens. I change my ISO according to the lighting.

I took this picture on my cousin's wedding, as you can see, it's not as sharp as I wanted it to be.



Picture is edited (photoshoped for curves and resize)

f3.5, 1/30s, ISO 1600 Canon 400D kit.

Hey Alpse, your name sounds very familiar to me. I think I know you! LOL

thanks

hmm smaller aperture and lower shutter speed. I have read that lens have a sweet spot for the aperture, so that you get a shaper image. for my 17-85, it seems sweet spot is at f8, I havent try it yet though.

CutieLynette,

i think ur shutter speed a bit low... since u use 1600ISO i think 60-100 shutter speed should be no problem

any body know how to check shutter count for 400D ?

tomoro my 400D full moon o~

using kit lens 18-55mm f3.5-f5


hav a look at my photo gallery to see my pic taken so far with my kit lens

i never use M mode. till learn snap using basic mode.



welcome bro. u r on the list.

i use M mode from the starting~
like to control the camera, dislike to let the camera control me~

thx for adding me to the list^^

regarding aperture and sharpness - remember that lenses aren't at their sharpest when at their highest aperture. so if the lens is f3.5 - 5.6, then set it to a few stops below f3.5

regarding modes - i use M all the way, then only one day someone taught me Aperture / Shutter priority modes yes i admit, i didn't read the manual and neither did i use it when i was on prosumer either, i'm full M all the way. hehe, even then on prosumer I didn't quite understand (didn't like Fuji's interface) but after that M helped me grasp the thing.

as for shutter count, AFAIK 350D / 400D is not the camera that you can check for shutter count.

should always consider priority modes cos sometimes you just need it.

M mode. i guess i shud try it.

btw..lets share..wy u choose 350D / 400D? becoz the quality? becoz its CANON? or what reason?

i me..its becoz ..its Canon..and poisoned by white lens.. as seen on tv

i got my 400D bcoz its fits my hand well...
nikon dont really fits my hand~

tat y i chose canon 400D..

I have this crazy idea. Well not so crazy. But oh well. We should post a gallery for pictures taken only by 350D and 400D. Where we could discuss upon the pictures uploaded there. Then we could link that to this.

wjie20: that'll be kinda embarrassing, posting up my amateur shots next to those owned by the sifu sifu's around here =p

but I guess it's good for learning some new tricks. i second the motion!

if for hand feel.. 40D/D80 fits a lot for me ^.^

350D/400D juz too small..

Hi there..i'm a newbi in the SLR world. just got my 400D 2 weeks ago and never parted since..

maybe u all should try the custom white balance, if u want create certain mood @ color for ur object.

experience with urself @ search from internet, is really FUN!!!!
