A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.

I've taken this same shot under virtually identical lighting conditions with a range of 10MP DSLRs, so you can get an accurate picture of how they compare.

This is a 100 percent crop from the image above. Refer to the reviews of the Nikon D80 and the Olympus E-400 for comparison shots.

The 18-55mm kit lens supplied with the 400D isn't up to the usual high standard one associates with Canon optics, with noticeable barrel distortion at wide angle. It's be a better idea to buy the camera body-only and splash out on a decent lens.

The lens has relatively poor edge sharpness, and surprisingly this shot shows a significant level of purple fringing.
