Canon EOS 450D (Rebel XSi): PMA Show Report 2008

all i can say about my 450D is it needs a better lens other than that its ok for a cheap camera,not many people can afford hasselblad,or even the cheaper cameras from the likes of nikon,canon or pentax ,take canons 1d and a reasonable lens this costs the best part of 12 grand in the UK,just enjoy taking photographs the kit is just a means to an end.

Today I bought a 40D w/grip, 10-22mm, 24-702.8 L,70-2002.8 L IS !! WOOHOO! However, I MAY go back tomorrow and get this 450D as well. I really should take 2 cameras to a shoot I am doing at the end of the month and this camera seems to be just about as AWESOME as the 40D !! I sold all my Canon gear a year ago when I bought my new mouse but I am getting back into it. I do advertising for a living but get asked for photography so...I am excited! AGAIN!

Poor Canon guy needs a glass of water.
Ironic that he gets cotton mouth in front of a vid camera. Must be too used to being behind :o)

i noticed that too!

hmm, yea ok hmmm right hmmmmmm ok. lol

what do you mean by under developed. and what company do you consider to not be under developed? and im not being a dick i just want to know. im a noob

That guy asking the questions already seem to know a lot about this camera; however he's asking all the questions. Why doesn't he explain it to us himself?! haha

ive ordered one today cant wait until moment of truth i bet that a day or so after release
youtube will be filled with : unboxing canon eos 450D (rebel xsi)

CANT WAIT!!!!!!

Say ok again! Say ok again! I dare ya, I double dare ya muthaf*cka, say ok one more goddamn time!

Hmmmm yeah hmmmmm right ok hmmm right ok ok...hmmm right ok hmm hmm ok hmm right ok

LOL

Orginally due for release in the middle of March now been put back to middle of April for some unknown reason, had the body & grip on order since Feb I hate waiting my 350D is dead and my 17-40mm F4L is getting lonley

waiting for this camera to come out. April 15 is the release date...can't wait.

Love the camera and am waiting for it to come out. Why is that Nikon users always comment on Canon cameras and compare their gear with it! Seems like they have doubts in buying their Nikon.

i bought 5 new canon mount lenses this year so im kind of stuck

You my friend are very wrong. Canon and Nikon are 2 very under developed companies. Yes people fight over who's better. They're about the same. The mark 1 from canon is around the same as the d3 and d300.

Canon has screwed up bit time the last two years with their bodies... Nikon has released very impressive cameras... watch out for later this year for more amazing announcements from Nikon...

canon is 15 times bigger than nikon for a reason---there simply better---the photos are precise data---nikon images look fake like a painting

of coarse its better than a d80----in a whole other league----its more advanced----its 14bit----its a canon----nuff said

I meant D80 - was meant to say that there is also rumors of a nikon d90 being released

This camera looks amasing - much better than the D90 - live view and lens has image stabaliser - good value for money, check out 7 day shop website and Zomp - £506, inc lens. Thats a bargain!

omg can't wait to get this! live preview baby yeah!! lol
