Digital Camera Guide

Welcome to the next generation of digital SLR photography-the Canon EOS 40D. The EOS 40D combines Canon's tremendous know-how in both the digital and photographic worlds, creating a camera that not only does everything one would expect of a traditional digital SLR, but one that incorporates staggering leaps forward in technological innovation. With new features like Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System, Live View Function, a more powerful DIGIC III Image Processor, plus a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and more, the EOS 40D elevates digital photography to new heights, enhancing the shooting experience, and delivering images one could only expect from a Canon.

Canon's large-area CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.5 x 15.0mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. 14-bit A/D conversion means fine transitions from light to dark tones, and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise. The EOS 40D has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to 1600, plus ISO 3200* in extended mode) which is selectable in 1/3 stop increments. The EOS 40D's CMOS sensor uses much of the new technology first seen in the EOS-1D Mark III camera. New manufacturing techniques mean each pixel is more sensitive to light, and less area between pixels is wasted on the sensor. The on-chip noise reduction electronics are also entirely new, and combine with the sensor's general design for less digital noise and better high-ISO performance than ever before. This results in larger, clearer, sharper and more detailed photographs right from the start. Download Canon EOS 40D Manual Software Firmware here

Canon EOS 400D Make the world your playground with the EOS 400D. 10.1 Megapixels of superior CMOS resolution and Canon’s Integrated Cleaning System deliver the EOS hallmark of crisp, clean images, shot after shot. Features * 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor * EOS Integrated Cleaning System * 2.5" LCD * 9-point wide-area AF * Picture Styles * DIGIC II * 3fps with up to 27 frame burst * DPP RAW image processing software * Compact and lightweight * EF/EF-S lens and EX Speedlite flash compatible.

Quality The EOS 400D's 10.1 Megapixel sensor employs the same outstanding CMOS image quality advantage of its big brothers in the professional EOS 1 range. Super sensitive in low light and virtually noise free, CMOS is also fast and power efficient. EOS Integrated Cleaning System For consistently pristine results, a complete dust prevention and cleaning system works to keep the EOS 400D's sensor spotless. A combination of technologies reduces, repels and removes dust and includes a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit that shakes dust from the sensor with each power on. Large bright LCD Reviewing your work is a delight with the super bright 2.5" 230k pixel display - nearly twice the size of the EOS 350D. Photos feel crisper, richer and more saturated, while a 160° viewing angle makes for easy at-a-glance checking and sharing. Faster, longer Shoot at 3 fps for continuous bursts of up to 27 large JPEG images (10 RAW): like shooting a whole roll of film in a single burst. Picture Style Switching between Picture Style presets is like being able to change film mid-roll to achieve different colour response and Black & White effects. Sharpness, contrast, colour tone and saturation are individually adjustable. High precision 9-point wide-area AF Select from one of nine fixed focusing points across the scene for fast, accurate focusing - even with off-centre subjects and 'rule-of-thirds' compositions.

Canon EOS 350D 21 Megapixels of full frame resolution with the flexibility that only an EOS SLR can offer. Benefit from DIGIC III processing, rugged build quality and technologies that redefine SLR performance. Features * 21 MP full frame CMOS * 14-bit A/D processing * Up to 5 fps, max. burst of 56 JPEGs * Dual "DIGIC III" processors * High precision wide area AF * EOS Integrated Cleaning System * ISO 100-1600 range (L:50 H:3200) * 3.0" LCD with Live View mode * EF lens compatibility.

21 Megapixel full frame CMOS sensor The full frame CMOS sensor of the EOS-1Ds Mark III provides a massive 21 Megapixels of detail - exceeding the standard quality demanded by leading photo agencies. Images are processed at 14 bit colour depth for finer tonal gradations. Picture quality is assured by effective noise reduction at high sensitivities and a low pass filter that combats false colour and moiré. The sensor’s wide dynamic range can be set to preserve more detail from bright areas with the Highlight Tone Priority function. Dual "DIGIC III" processors Dual "DIGIC III" processors drive the camera’s rapid performance, allowing near-instant start-up and response times. Up to 5 fps with 56 frame burst The EOS-1Ds Mark III delivers up to 5 frames per second for a continuous burst of up to 56 JPEGs (12 in RAW). Wide-area AF with 19 cross type points A high precision AF system employs 19 cross type points with sensitivity up to f/2.8, spread out across the AF area to accommodate off-centre subjects. 26 AF assist points aid AF tracking for increased accuracy. EOS Integrated Cleaning System Canon’s built-in dust prevention and cleaning system uses a combination of technologies to reduce, repel and remove dust from the sensor. A Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit shakes dust from the sensor with each power on. Download Canon EOS 350D Manual Software Firmware here

Making digital SLR photography accessible Outstanding image definition The EOS 300D’s 6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor provides stunning image resolution, allowing detailed prints to be made up to A3. Canon’s high-performance, purpose built DIGIC processor links all key camera functions together and allows for high-speed continuous shooting. Images can be recorded simultaneously in both RAW and JPEG formats for greater post-shooting flexibility. Wide-area AF Wide-area 7-point AF allows accurate auto-focus on any one of 7 focus points within the viewfinder. Focus points can be chosen manually or automatically. Precise exposure control You can choose between 35-zone evaluative metering (linked to the selected AF point), centre-weighted average or partial metering for complete exposure control. The EOS 300D has a shutter speed range from 1/4000 second to 30 seconds. Together with an ISO range from 100 – 1600, it can capture images across a wide range of lighting conditions.

The EOS-1Ds brings ultra-high resolution and full-frame imaging to digital photography. Based on the very successful EOS 1D, but with an 11.1 megapixel sensor, this new camera offers a real alternative to film in studios and on location. Features * Full frame CMOS sensor (no lens magnification) * Approx. 11.1 million effective pixels * High performance imaging engine for film-quality images * Enlarged playback function * 2 colour spaces: -sRGB and Adobe RGB * Original decision data can be added to images.

Based on the very successful EOS 1D, but with an 11.1 megapixel sensor, this new camera offers a real alternative to film in studios and on location The EOS-1D and EOS-1Ds are based on the same digital camera body, and share many features and a similar operation. However, the 4.15 megapixel sensor and 8fps shooting of the EOS-1D makes it ideal for news and sports photographers, while the 11.1 megapixel sensor and 3fps shooting of the EOS-1Ds will appeal to a very broad spectrum of professionals, including advertising and fashion photographers. The new camera incorporates a full-frame CMOS sensor developed and manufactured by Canon. With a size of 24 x 36mm, it covers the same area as a film frame. This makes maximum use of the standard angle-of-view of EF lenses, especially the wide-angle series. The RAW recording file produces an image file size of 11.4MB, yet despite this size, the 3fps shooting rate can be maintained for up to 10 shots in a single burst. The camera will also generate RAW and JPEG files at the same time, if required, without any discernible loss of speed or burst length. Download Canon EOS 1Ds Manual Software Firmware here
