Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi. There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Good points

Low noise, high quality images
Wide range of anti-dust options
Nine-point AF from EOS 30D
Great value for money

Bad points
Resolution not a big step-up from 350D / XT
Anti-dust not 100% infallible
No anti-shake in standard kit
Sony Alpha A100 a tough rival
