Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi Digital Camera with 18-55mm lens

12.4 Megapixel, SLR Camera, 3 in. LCD Screen, Weight: 1.05 lb.

Canon has added another fabulous camera to its EOS range: the 450D! This digital camera, recently commended at the TIPA awards for its high performances, user-friendliness and ease of use, is packed full of technologies and special features. Its magnificent 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor takes lifelike shots at rates of 3.5 frames per second, and its large focusing range picks out details from a distance. The EOS 450D includes a self-cleaning system, which uses three different techniques to dislodge dust from the sensor, and it has a DIGIC III processor to guarantee well-balanced, vivid colours in all your shots. The EOS 450D is easy to handle and use thanks to its 3? LCD screen, which is great for direct shooting, and it comes complete with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.

12.4 Megapixel, SLR Camera, 3 in. LCD Screen, Weight: 1.05 lb.

It's hardly surprising this camera won the prize for best camera 2008 at the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) awards. The EOS 1000D is designed for anyone ready to take the next step in creative photography. This practical camera comes with a built-in EOS cleaning system and a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor. The EOS 1000D also integrates a low-pass filter with a self-cleaning unit, which captures and removes the tiniest dust particles every time the camera is switched on. A DIGIC III image processor allows you to take professional pictures continuously at speeds of up to 3 frames per second, while its on-screen viewing mode enables you to monitor your creations before and after taking them. Among the 1000D’s other user-friendly features. You’ll find a set of easy-to-use menus and quick access functions, an automatic focus and a comprehensive range of white balance settings, not to mention a number of scene modes, so you can add the finishing touches to your shot!

This could be my new DSLR...in fact it would be my 1st. I have always liked the Canon's from the days of film and at this price and that many features, it's hard to see where I could go wrong.

Review Score 4 out of 6

The Olympus PEN E-P1 may look like a throwback to retro photography, but it’s expensive and flawed. However, it's beautiful image quality renders almost impossible to dislike.

Sony's A330 DSLR is a small step backwards for the dependable Alpha range
