My wife so far has been mostly on automatic, but now I can show her how different changes in settings effect your picture quality, before you had to wait until the film was developed. This way it serves as a great learning tool

QuickTake:

Pros: Great for the former 35mm SLR user, Specifically the instant feed back w/manual shots
Cons: There is a learning curve. If all you have ever used was a point and shoot digital

The Canon EOS 450D delivers hands-down, best-in-class photo quality. Its colour accuracy, dynamic range and consistently good noise clearly put this 12-megapixel model in front of the pack, even though its features and design do little to impress. It's ce

REVIEW: Canon 450D DSLR camera - First Look

Comments:
Canon has updated its entry-level digital camera for the first time in over 15 months, but has the wait been worth it? We had a chance to get an early hands-on with the new 450D (or the Digital Rebel XSi for our American readers) at the company's Spring C

Eos was the Greek goddess of dawn which is why Canon cameras now bear her name. Matt Grayson takes a look at the 450D to see if it's a legend or a fairy tale.

Review Verdict: Canon have been leaders in the entry level DSLR market for years and with the EOS 450D I can't see them losing their position anytime soon. The camera is packed with features and playing with it more and more reveals extra bits to try out

Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm IS

Comments:
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.

REVIEW-CANON EOS 450D DSLR

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 dis

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 is

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 flas
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.
