The EOS 450D (+ 18-55 mm IS) overcomes certain defects of previous models (narrow optical aiming, stabilization) and places the bar rather high. It’s a new reference for entry level reflexes. Read more
Almost nonchalantly efficient in every way, the 450D is an understated slice of photographic genius Read more
We were most impressed with the continuous shooting mode and the sport mode - both functions really lock onto the subject and capture fast-moving objects. Close-up shooting was impressive too. We think that if you’re new to digital SLR photography or on a tight(ish) budget, you’ll like this camera. Read more
It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS 450D delivers on performance and photo quality Read more
: The Canon EOS450D is a robust lightweight SLR camera that provides an impressive 12.2 mega pixels with image stabilising lens. Image quality is generally excellent and images are useable up to ISO1600 and tend to maintain good detail. The camera's screen works well and battery life is excellent. Overall this is an appealing camera offering excellent value for money, and a number of features that should suit experienced amateurs as well as experts. An area where this... Read more
I have been using the Canon 450D for 1 week now. It is a new to the market and seems to slot in between the 400D and 40D. Its is a well built and easy to use camera...die hard Nikon fans may disagree. It handles well and feels nicely balanced. I got going with as usual without reading the manual, and within seconds was taking some very nice pictures. The most significant advance is the live view function. This allows the user to see the image on the very nice 3inch... Read more
BEWARE!-This is the second Canon XSI I've purchased-and retuned-from Amazon. The first was through a third party vendor and arrived without a warranty card. I should have known better. After receiving my refund i purchased another from Amazon.com. I checked the listing and under the heading "what's in the box" was included a" one year Canon USA limited warranty". The camera arrived without a warranty card. It's going back. This feels like a nasty bait and switch. Next... Read more
Great camera, very easy to use and has decent quality for the price. The standard lens is ok, but I'd opt for a few others for distance shots. Read more
This review is from: Canon EOS 450D IS Double Zoom Kit (EOS 450D Camera, EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 Lens & EF-S 55-250mm IS f/4.0-5.6 lens) (Electronics) There are so many good features to this camera. I also have a samsung pocket camera which is quite useful in crtain situations but awkward to use in manual mode. Where the canon is so much better is in the fact that it is so easy to use.Far better in low and difficult light conditions, and the fact that you can shoot in... Read more
At my age most people downsize their home and I have done that; BUT I have also decided that the weight of a 10D or 40D around my neck - just to say 'look what I've got' is no longer acceptable to me. Great images can be made by a small SLR and the comfort of such a unit which allows me to create the sort of images I seek is paramount. I predict that soon all SLRs will be this small or smaller. Canon retains my loyalty. Read more
