Canon Netherlands PRAmstelveen, The Netherlands, 24 August 2006:Canon today announces its next generation D-SLR: the EOS 400D. Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, new EOS Integrated Cleaning System, larger and brighter 2.5” LCD and 9-point AF, the model is predicted to take the lead as the world’s most popular camera. It is positioned above the EOS 350D, currently the fastest selling SLR camera of all time.Canon’s EOS 300D, the world’s first consumer D-SLR, kick started a digital revolution in 2003. “We are now witnessing a mass consumer trend towards D-SLR,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe.
Consumer research shows it is not only existing film SLR owners now switching to digital SLR photography. “On top of the existing 21 million analogue EOS shooters, a completely new profile of consumer is adopting digital EOS and driving growth,” said Jensen. “With European household penetration having only just hit 3%, the question now is not ‘will this market be big’, but ‘how big will this market become’.” The EOS 400D features 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor Improved Performance As well as the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 400D incorporates a number of developments over the EOS 350D. Resolution increases from 8.0 to 10.1 Megapixels, using the superior hi-sensitivity, hi-speed, low-noise CMOS technology now found in all six EOS Digital models. At nearly twice the size of the EOS 350D display, the 2.5” hi-resolution LCD is the brightest in the EOS range and now displays all of key shooting and user interface information along with image playback. The AF system expands from 7 to 9-point, with a highly sensitive f/2.8 center point for exceptional performance in low light. Even with the image resolution increase, maximum frame burst almost doubles from 14 to 27 large JPEGs and from 5 to 10 RAW. Dust reduction Reduce – Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation. The body cap is redesigned to prevent dust generation through wear on the cap itself. Repel – Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the sensor so as not to attract dust. Remove – A Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit uses hi-frequency vibrations to shake dust from the low pass filter for a period of approximately one second after each start up. For instant shooting after power up, this feature is disabled immediately the shutter release is depressed. The EOS advantage The EOS 400D inherits a number of advanced features proven in higher-end EOS models, such as the EOS 30D and 5D. These include its 9-point AF system, Picture Style (see Appendix: Technologies Explained), 9,999 image capacity folders and expanded Pictbridge functionality. The EOS 400D also incorporates the same DIGIC II processor found across the EOS range right through to EOS-1 professional models (see Appendix ‘Technologies Explained’). As well as providing superior image quality through advanced rendering algorithms and almost instant 0.2 second start up time, DIGIC II’s accelerated processing prioritises the photographer’s ability to keep shooting by clearing the buffer quickly between frame bursts. Upgrading The upgrade path to the EOS 400D from earlier EOS models is made easy by maintaining the same intuitive user interface and basic layout of key features and functions. Photographers are also able to use the same battery and Battery Grip BG-E3 as used on the EOS 350D, as well as continued support for all EF and EF-S lenses, EX Speedlites and EOS accessories. Software Consistent with the entire EOS Digital range, the EOS 400D is supplied with a comprehensive software suite to help the photographer’s workflow. This includes Digital Photo Professional (DPP), a powerful RAW converter that provides complete RAW image processing control. DPP also integrates with camera features such as the Dust Delete Data and Picture Style. The camera also comes with EOS Capture, Image/Zoom Browser and Photostitch, plus 100MB of personal online space on CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, Canon’s online photo sharing service. |
Canon Australia PRA 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, simpler operation and Canon’s Self Cleaning Sensor Unit make the EOS 400D Australia’s new favourite digital SLR.Sydney, 24 August 2006 – Finding the perfect shot is now easier than ever before, with Canon Australia today announcing the EOS 400D digital SLR (D-SLR) camera. With accelerating interest in digital SLR cameras, Canon developed the EOS 400D to make creative photography both exciting and incredibly accessible to anyone who loves telling a story through photos.Replacing Australia’s number one-selling D-SLR, the EOS 350D, the new model includes a Canon-developed 10.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor that delivers stunning, professional quality photographs. Super-fast image processing, thanks to Canon’s proprietary DiG!C II processor, ensures the camera is capable of capturing three frames per second (fps) for a burst of up to 27 consecutive frames.
Scott Jackson, Product Manager, Consumer Imaging Products Group, Canon Australia, said Canon developed the new model to inspire users to discover their creativity – simply by having fun with photography. “Photography allows us to share our view of the world through pictures, and Canon believes digital SLR photography should make it easy for anyone who enjoys taking photos to have fun finding their shot. “With the EOS 400D we’ve made it easier to enjoy creative digital SLR photography,” said Mr Jackson. Dazzling resolution and rich colour Exceptional clarity, razor-sharp images and rich colours are all the hallmarks of a Canon-developed 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. Combined with the imaging performance and super-fast speed of the DiG!C II image processor, the EOS 400D is the perfect camera for creative photography fun. Creativity made easy While it’s an incredibly capable partner for advanced photography, the EOS 400D is also perfect for beginners. With a large 2.5-inch LCD screen, and Mode Dial for selection of modes such as Sports, Portrait and Landscape, the camera optimises the settings for particular situations and conditions – built-in expertise to develop the photographer. More options for your photography Picture Style settings simulate the characteristics of different types of film, providing photographers with control over the ‘look’ of their images. Options include Standard – for punchy, print-from-the-camera colour; Portrait – for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape – for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness; and Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, for a more traditional Black and White look. Dust free images every time Up until now dust has presented a challenge to capturing the perfect image. If tiny particles of dust manage to enter the camera and adhere to its image sensor, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit automatically removes them as soon as the camera is switched on, while software removes stubborn dust spots. Canon EF Lenses for every moment Canon EF Lenses are the choice of professional photographers all over the world for their optical brilliance and endless versatility. The EOS 400D is compatible with the full range of over 50 EF lenses, the world’s largest range, from ultra wide-angle to Super Telephoto and everything in between, including Fisheye and Macro lenses. EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Canon’s latest lens, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, is the fastest standard lens in Canon’s line-up The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM uses a large diameter, high precision aspherical element to achieve superb image quality. Its large maximum aperture allows incredibly shallow depth-of-field and a circular aperture diaphragm ensures attractive background defocus. With its ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM delivers virtually silent operation and full-time mechanical manual focusing, along with high levels of dust and moisture resistance. EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Canon has also announced the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens, which builds on the L-series telephoto zoom lens heritage and adds an Image Stabilizer (IS). Canon’s Image Stabilizer compensates for the equivalent of approximately four shutter speeds, allowing photographers to capture handheld shots at shutter speeds four stops slower that would otherwise be possible without camera shake blur. Combining a fluorite element with a UD-glass element delivers exceptional performance throughout the zoom range. Its ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) offers fast, virtually silent operation and, like the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, manual focusing is possible even during AF mode with full-time mechanical focusing. Importantly for travelling photographers, the lens is designed for use in harsh conditions, incorporating high levels of dust and moisture resistance. Accessories Canon’s EOS 400D supports a range of standard and optional accessories, including the optional BG-E3 Battery Grip. The EOS 400D is also compatible with the complete range of over 50 Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including L-series and Image Stabilizer lenses, and Canon’s EX-series Speedlites. Availability The Canon EOS 400D will be available in both black and silver in various kit configurations from Canon resellers nationally in early September, with pricing to be confirmed. The EF 50mm f/1.2L USM will be available late September and the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM late November through Canon resellers nationally. Customers can contact Canon on ph: 1800 021 167 |
