Canon Announces EOS 450D Digital SLR
On January 23rd, Canon USA announced the release of the EOS Rebel XSi digital SLR camera. The name game continues with buyers outside the USA seeing the camera labeled ‘EOS 450D’.
Clearly, the replacement for EOS 400D, the new camera jumps resolution to 12.2MP. What else is new? Image processing now uses a 14-bit A/D converter. Yup, that means 14-bit RAW files! Also, there is new spot metering (4%). The viewfinder is larger. Amazingly at such a low price, the camera includes a Live view mode. Storage now switches to SD/SDHC memory cards. The dust reduction system is the same as in the EOS 400D.
