Well so much for this fancy SELF CLEANING SENSOR UNIT. Today I had the first opportunity to take my new 400D out and do some work with it. It looks a bit funny with a great hulking 28-80 f2.8L lens on it, but it functions like a dream. The controls are a bit finiky, you have to hold the AF button and then spin the control wheel to change apperture. For those of us used to having a thumb wheel on the back of the body, this is a bit of a change, but one I have gotten used to using the 350D for the last few months. With a new SanDisk Ultra II 2 gig card the write time is incredible. The focus works very well and it picks up and locks onto a focus point very easily and the pics I took were all crispy clean, mind you the lens I am using is one of the old series of L lenses that weights a ton, but is also about the sharpest lens I have ever had the pleasure of using, much sharper than the current 28-80 L.
So the only dissappointment was when I got home and downloaded my pictures onto the computer only to find that there were several significant dust spots on all the images. DUST ON THE SENSOR, very dissappointing.
We got a new camera, we got a new camera. Wow cool man, 10.1 megapixels, 9point AF, Sensor Clean Technology blah blah blah… its nice all the control buttons are black and it just looks pretty cool. At HK $5600 you can’t really go wrong now can you.
It is the same body as the 350 with some slight styling changes. Have yet to put it through its paces.
One thing that really pissed me off is that it is not supported by CAMERA RAW plug in yet, so I cannot open the RAW files in my brand new licensed Photoshop CS2… I am sure they will have the new version out very soon, lets hope…
Brasil’s wine country beautiful land given over to the cultivation of grapes for making wine. Not as big an industry as in other parts of south america notably Chile, but none the less some very good wines produced in this region as well as a thriving tourism industry.

A candle and a rose, actually two of each. One to burn now one to burn then.
The passing of a flame, from universe, to universe.
When love is given all is fair. Ye well my sweet grammmaa…
