Do you like it ? Did a search but couldn't find many opinions. What's the best and worst things about it ?

I like it alot
The LCD screen displays everything on it nice and clearly, and has a sensor so when you look in the view finder, it turns off. Ive read some reviews that say it underexposes, but so far its been great for me.

Ours is good.

Good things - Large LCD for reviewing, anti-dust, price
Bad things - I find it a tad small and less intuitive than the 20D.

Ive had mine about a month now and am very happy with it. Last months T3 magazine had a review but marked it down on price when compared to the Sony DSLR, i was quite annoyed about that as it rrp's at about £790, however any respectable dealer has it now for less than £530.

The large screen is great, and the 'auto off' feature is a very nice addition.

Only con id say agrees with mist to some degree. the hand grip for your right hand is a little small and the righ little finger is often left wondering where the rest of the camera is! Not a major prob, and the addition of the secondry battery/grip sorts this out a treat. In the sub £600 DSLR market i think its fantastic.

DP Review Summary

+ I have small hands - I appreciate something I can easily carry around and hold.
+ I'm happy with the focus/color.
+ Uses the same lens as my film camera.

- I would like to have a spot meter.
- The anti dust thingee doesn't clean 100%.
- Multiple exposures in the camera would be fun.
- I would prefer to have one button to change the aperture instead of holding a button down and spinning the wheel.
- The histogram seems small to me.

i find it interesting that the 400 hasn't won any ribbons yet.

I went to bestbuy this past weekend and it is nice. I would have picked it up but it only comes in the kit version. Gonna have to take a trip to b&G's to pick it up later this week.

It felt really light & natural in may hands. Snapped quite nicely as well. Looking forward to really playing with it once I get it.

Im having truble with mine, it keeps showing this [BUSY (then is has that flash sign, with the zig zag]. I try to shoot laot of photos but it freezes up and says that for like 10 seconds, atleast. I never had this problem wiht my old rebel xt, could someone help me?

I love mine. I've had it for a month or so now, and I've had no problems (knock on wood). I really like everything about it so far...especially the large sensor screen. :)

I bought mine around the beginning of Oct and love it. No real issues so far, and I have huge hands and find it comfy to hold. The continuous shooting is sweet also, I have a Lexar 4GB 133x card in it and Ive only tried it a couple times but its taking about 22 RAW+JPG shots back to back with out breaking a sweat :)

Elmakias: if its doing this when you are shooting pics back to back with the flash then it sounds like the camera is making you wait for the flash to recharge after a number of shots.
