Underexposed backgrounds are noise free. Auto white balance is generally good
Except under incasdescent lights. The f...

The editors didn't like
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.
Pictures could use a little sharpening
Live View autofocus takes a little while The Final Word A solid improvement on the EOS 400D
Canons EOS 450D adds a bucket-load of new features

After two less-than-inspiring upgrades, Canon has finally come up with a significant follow-up to its groundbreaking original Rebel Digital SLR with the new 12.2-megapixel EOS Rebel XSi. Though it’s still Canon’s entry-level DSLR, the Rebel XS...
Abstract: The digital SLR market is fiercely competitive, with the biggest sales and fattest profits in the hotly-contested consumer/entry-level area. Up until very recently Canon, the first company to break the sub-£1,000 barrier with its popular EOS 300D model in...

Abstract: The price of gas might be climbing so fast you wonder why all the gas company executives arent suffering from altitude sickness, but at least in one area the consumer can still get more for less and thats with digital cameras. Such is the case with ...
Very good photo quality (though not at default settings), Remarkably little noise, Compact body by DSLR standards (though its not for everyone), Much improved kit lens features image stabilization, Large 3inch LCD with live view feature; histogram and...

The Canon EOS Rebel XSi is a very good entry-level digital SLR. It offers very good photo quality (with the appropriate tweaks), lighting fast performance, live view, and a large LCD display. The camera has its share of flaws, though, including soft JP...
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 sam...
Abstract: The XSi is more of an evolution than a revolution; the new features it adds over previous Digital Rebels are useful (and generally well executed), but none of them add that much to the experience of using the camera. The live view makes point-and-shoo...
