Canon EOS 450D

Canon EOS 450Canon new entry-level DSLR, EOS 450D featuring 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and a host of other improvements over its predecessor, the EOS 400D.

Compare with EOS 400D, the 450D now sports a new large 3 inch LCD with live view shooting (most notable - allows you to view and frame your shot using the LCD panel on the back), a larger viewfinder image, improved 9-point wide-area autofocus system, spot metering feature and self-cleaning image sensor.

Like all the new Live View-capable DSLRs, EOS 450D has 2 autofocus modes - the more common phase detect autofocus  and the new contrast detect autofocus which allow full autofocus without losing the Live View Image.

The image processing engine has been updated to the current DIGIC III image processor found on other higher-end Canon DSLRs, which means faster response time and 14-bit analogue-to-digital conversion - mean an improvement in quality.

The EOS 450D will also be offered as a bundle together with newly redesigned version of 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lense, whic has Canon’s Image Stabiliser built-in.

The major change in the EOS 450D compared with its predecessors is the switch to SD (Secure Digital) cards from CF (CompactFlash) cards.  The new SD slot is SDHC compatible, which means it can accept new, high-speed and high-capacity SD cards (over 4GB).
