REVIEW-CANON EOS 450D DSLR

by terry

Comments:
: This 12 megapixel camera is Canon's cheapest DSLR. We tried the twin lens kit with an 18-55 and a 55-250mm lens. Construction of camera and lenses uses much plastic material, so it is light but insubstantial. The LCD screen also serves as the function d

Review Verdict: : Once again an entry level DSLR is let down by its kit lenses. However we did take the camera to an outdoor wedding and used the 55-250 lens exclusively and the combination was better than competent. Focus is a little erratic and the image stabilisation

QuickTake:

Pros: : The underlying picture quality from the camera is superb. There is a wide dynamic range and noise is not an issue. Even out of focus, underexposed backgrounds are noise free. Auto white balance is generally good, except under incasdescent lights. The fl

Cons: : Keep in mind that all of the above is praise for the camera body, not the lenses. The cheap kit lenses are not good enough for the body. When fitted with a good quality lens you see what the camera can really do.

Canon Rebel XSi Review

by David Rasnake

Comments:
With its long-running Rebel series of consumer DSLRs, Canon has earned a reputation for cranking out new models on a consistent timetable that are rarely revolutionary, and yet often set the pace for the entry-level market nonetheless. Sitting somewhere b

Cons: Camera doesn't feel as nice as it is, Revised kit lens still not so hot, Live view may or may not be useful, Default processing not as vibrant as some competitors

Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi review

by Gordon Laing

Comments:
The Canon EOS 450D / Rebel XSi is a powerful DSLR for the money and a worthy successor to the best-selling EOS 400D / XTi. Canon has sensibly followed Nikon's winning strategy for the D80 and instead of aiming at the lowest price-point, has gone for a mor

Review Verdict: As the successor to the best-selling DSLR of the last 18 months, there's no doubt Canon's new EOS 450D / Rebel XSi will shift by the bucket-load. There's equally no doubt Canon has made many improvements over the earlier 400D / XTi which together add-up t

by Online Shopper

Comments:
The 450D features a chunkier, rubberised handgrip for better stability, but still retains the look of its predecessor

Review Verdict: If you open the memory card slot, youll notice that the 450D now takes SD cards, rather than the more traditional CompactFlash. Canon could set a trend here, because the smaller card format frees up space and weight. This is great news if you currently ow

Canon EOS 450D

Comments:
The 450D's features and handling are excellent, but its picture quality is variable. As with other EOS cameras, you need to shoot RAW fi les for the best definition. It's quick to blow highlight details, too, so it's important to keep a close eye on the e

Canon EOS-450D digital SLR camera review

by Joanne Carter,

Comments:
Canon's EOS-450D adds 14bit capture, Live View, a larger 3in LCD and faster continuous shooting.

Review Verdict: Be that as it may, the Canon EOS-450D is a fine performer. The only real problem is price. The 450D sits uncomfortably close to the 10Mp EOS 40D. With the maker's current cashback offer, the better-quipped semi-pro model can be had for roughly the same pr

While many companies tout the capabilities of their big, expensive professional cameras, Canon's flagship is a Rebel. The Rebel XSi showcases many new technologies, currently besting the semi-pro camera in the line in several areas. Its 12.2 megapixel sen

Cons: AF-assist adjustment and Flash Exposure compensation are buried in the Flash Settings menu., In Live View Quick AF mode, camera does not tell you which AF points are in focus, Kit lens produces somewhat high barrel distortion at wide angle, Flash coverage
