Canon Announces 450D - Digital Rebel XSi
I’ve had mixed feelings about this announcement but at the end of the day I’m really glad they’ve released a new entry level DSLR body. Initially I was upset because it’s going to drive the price of my camera (400D) down considerably. After some thought I’m really glad there’s a new body in my range. The new features are enticing enough for me to sell my current body plus the kit lenses to get the XSi. Some really nice features as well.
- Digic III
- 14 bit RAW
- Spot metering
- 3″ screen with the new Live Preview
- 12.2 MP
- 9 point cross type f/2.8 AF
- etc
Personally I like the idea of the Live Preview but I don’t see that as the selling point. Digic III, 14 bit RAW and spot metering. So tempting.
