Canon EOS 450D Rebel XSi DSLR Review

ThinkCamera have reviewed the new Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi - a 12.2 megapixel update to the 400D - it features 3.5fps shooting, live view shooting, 9 point AF, 3" screen, SD memory card support, and Canon's dust reduction system. The 450D Body only is priced at £429, the EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS kit is £449.

"There are one or two minor hiccups; live view arguably being the biggest. The LV system uses contrast-detection autofocus, which is from the 'accurate, but glacial' school. It's perfect for tripod-based still life or macro shots of non-moving things, but it falls way behind the more useful systems found in current Olympus and especially Sony DSLRs."
