Canon announces EOD400D

This is the successor to the hugely popular EOS350D. It has got a 10.1MP sensor with cleaning technology that shakes the dust off it.

It has a 2.5 inch LCD display supporting 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 160 degrees.

In burst mode it can shoot 3fps and store up to 10 RAW or 27 JPEGs.

All EF and EF-S (over 60) lenses are supported as well as Speedlite EX flash units.

Pricing is expected to be competetive to the Sony Alpha but seems to be about £649 for the body only or around £719 with an EF-S 18-55mm lens.
