Anti-static coatings on sensor surfaces plus anti-dust materials in the camera body.10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved microlens array, fill factor and lower noise.Summary of changes (compared to the EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT) UPDATE 18/Dec/06: In our original review a mistake was made in the measurement of ISO sensitivity, this has now been corrected and the releveant pages of this review updated. Less important but just as noticeable are the removal of the status LCD, replaced instead by a camera settings screen on the now larger 2.5' LCD monitor and the eye proximity sensor just below the viewfinder to turn this off when composing your shot. The headline changes are another two megapixel step up (to ten megapixels), the nine-point AF sensor from the EOS 30D, a new dust removal system which includes anti-static surface coatings, low-pass filter vibration and software based dust pattern removal. This new camera follows the design of the EOS 350D, being very compact and relatively lightweight but not compromising on manual controls or in-use performance. Almost exactly three years since Canon changed the digital SLR market forever (with the $1,000 EOS 300D) they announced the third generation of their affordable entry level series, the EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi).
