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 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
Abstract: Canon EOS XSi (450D) Field Report A Rebel Grows Up – Again In the 20th Century Less than 10 years ago, before digitals rise to dominance, any camera of the same format with interchangeable lenses would take pictures no different than any other. Film ...
Abstract: With its 12.2 megapixel sensor, an ISO rating between 100 and 1600, a responsive autofocus system and superb image quality, the Canon EOS 450D is an excellent camera to discover the next step in digital photography. Offered in kit form with an 18-55 m...
Small and light, great handling, redesigned GUI, noise control, some useful features
Some operational quirks, JPEG quality, limited ISO range, noisy mirror and kit lens AF
Operational quirks aside, there’s little to dislike about the 450D. The evolution of the EOS line has resulted in a refined model, with ample features and image quality to match. Low-light shooting can be carried out in confidence thanks to the grea...
The Canon EOS 450D is the fourth model in the best selling digital SLR series of all time, and as with many recent DSLR launches (with the exception of Nikon, who have raised their game considerably), it refines a winning blueprint, rather than reinve...
Very comfortable design for a small camera; all essential functions are easily accessible while shooting; great image quality; Live View; full feature set.
Live View focusing can be complicated; no dedicated status display.
95 Canons digital SLR line is divided into three categories. There are the Rebels, sub-$1,000 cameras with small bodies; the mid-range cameras, such as the EOS 40D and 5D, which range from $1,200 to $2,200; and the high-end cameras with huge burst rat...
Abstract: Once again, Canon releases a Rebel X** / **0D model (the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D in this case) that has feature improvements, including a higher resolution sensor, over the current higher end *0D model. We saw this when the Canon EOS Digital Rebel X...
Switch to SDHC memory. Relatively low noise at high ISO settings. New battery with 50% more endurance.
ISO tops out at 1600. Plastic body seems too plasticy. ISO in only full stop increments. Lacks the useful HELP mode of its major competitors. A tad bit pricey.Camera Resolution: 12.2 megapixels, CMOS Sensor
Abstract: Canon have gained a lot of experience in the lower segment of the D-SLR market over the past five years. We have witnessed significant improvements between previous and next models. And now were here with the Canon EOS 450D. A digital SLR camera that ...
Very fast 12MP D-SLR, Fine picture quality, Supplied IS lens
Don’t bother with Live View, Flimsy door covering connections, *
We hate to sound like a skipping Internet audio stream, but it’s very easy to recommend the Canon Rebel XSi. It’s a fast-focusing, speedy D-SLR that delivers excellent photos both indoors and outside. At 12.2-megapixels, the camera also h...
Sample Images Since the Canon XSi is targeted at the entry-level DSLR market, all sample images were shot with the XSi kit lens, the EF-S (crop-sensor only) 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS. This will likely be the way most buyers purchase the XSi and it seemed fai...
