The XSi / 450D body has a smoother and more-rounded shape with better-hidden seams compared to the XTi / 450D - it takes on a more refined look. Also visible in the top view image is the new ISO button location (formerly located on the back). This is a very nice change that makes Canon’s DSLR bodies more consistent in their functionality. The ISO setting is also visible in the viewfinder - which has itself been enlarged. These all are very nice improvements.



The Digital Picture Reviewed the Canon EOS 450D and gave out”The number of people moving up to digital SLR cameras has been amazing - but so are the images these cameras can deliver. Even compared to the not-very-old Canon Rebel XTi / 400D, the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D delivers better image quality from a more attractive body with more features … I’m very pleased (actually somewhat surprised) with the improvements delivered by the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D. It will be a worthwhile upgrade for many XTi / 400D owners - it is a lot of camera for the money for anyone purchasing it.”

    Canon Eos 450D vs 400D?
    They have just announced today the features of the new CANON EOS 450D:

    12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor
    SD/SDHC cards
    Larger viewfinder
    Live view mode, including contrast-detect AF
    Improved 9-point AF system
    Spot metering
    3.0″ LCD monitor
    Redesigned menus (including My Menu as seen in 40D)
    Slightly redesigned info display
    Continuous shooting at 3.5fps for up to 53 JPEG (6 RAW)
    ISO setting displays in viewfinder and ISO button
    New, larger, higher capacity battery
    14 bit A/D converter and processing
    Multi-shot self-timer mode
    Highlight Tone Priority (from 40D)
    Auto Lighting Optimiser (boosts shadows after shooting)
    Kit lens with IS

    I’m still contemplating on getting either this 450D ($899) or the 400D ($549). Do you think the additional features justify the price difference? Or should I just get the 400D and get better lenses?

    I would go for the 450D for a few important reasons:
    1) improved AF system. Very important in getting focused shots, particularly in dim light.

    2) larger LCD monitor. Avoid frustration from having to try to make out details on a small screen.

    3) larger viewfinder: makes it easier to compose.

    4) improved kit lens with IS

    All of these things together make the 450D a better value–you’ll get more keepers. Any one alone might not be enough, but taken together, it makes the price difference inconsequential. If I were Canon, I’d cut the Canon 350D, keep the 400D and cut the price, and add the 450D.

    Sigma AutoFocus 70-300mm for Canon EOS 450D?
    Can this zoom lens known as “Sigma AutoFocus APO Macro 70-300mm” be mounted on a Canon EOS 450D Digital SLR Camera ?

    Provided it has an EOS mount, yes.

    Sigma produces lenses for a few camera types, make sure what you are looking at fits the Canon mount. If you are looking at an auction, it should be stated, if not ask.

    Question about the FPS on the Canon EOS Xti 450D?
    Im buying the Canon EOS 450D and i want to know: It shoots 3.5 frames per sec. Can i veiw all the frames? I choose the bests one or no? Im looking at this video on youtube. Forward to 59 secs in and help me with my confusion.

    With any DSLR that has a rapid shooting mode, you capture every photo onto the memory card. You can review them as you like, choosing the best ones and discarding any that have serious problems.

    As a sports photographer, I almost always shoot at the highest FPS my Nikon can capture. In the fast moving world of sports, this gives you a better chance of capturing the moment, and not the moment after.

    Suggestion #1: Don’t delete any photos that MIGHT be useful, as you can often save images or find gems when you crop in the computer.

    Suggestion #2: If you’re going to be shooting at a high FPS rate, stock up on memory cards. Carry at least a couple of 2gb cards, as they are fairly inexpensive now. Taking more photos means full memory cards sooner.
