 Canon launches its latest D-SLR, the EOS 450D (Canon Digital Rebel XSi
in America). Featuring a 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, EOS Integrated
Cleaning System, 3.0” LCD with Live View mode and a new 9-point AF
system, the model presents consumers with an unprecedented level of
image quality and versatility at this end of the market. The Canon EOS 450D employs features already proven in Canon’s professional EOS-1 series cameras, including the DIGIC III
image processor and a redesigned menu system that enables features such
as direct control of Speedlite flash units from the camera LCD. A
choice of 13 custom functions allows the photographer to customise the
camera to their shooting style.
“The Canon EOS 450D bears the fruits of more than 20 years of ongoing
investment into EOS,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer
Imaging, Europe. “This camera continues Canon’s policy of taking
technologies proven in the professional arena and putting them within
reach of a wider market of amateur photographers.”

Canon 450D DSLR - EOS quality advantage
With all key components developed and manufactured in-house, EOS
offers photographers a unique quality advantage. The Canon EOS 450D’s
specially designed 12.2 Megapixel sensor employs Canon’s
high-sensitivity, low-noise CMOS technology to produce richly detailed
images with minimal grain. The DIGIC III processor ensures superior
image rendering and rapid response times, with an almost instant 0.1
start up. Image data is processed at 14 bits for Delivering a burst
rate of 3.5 frames per second, the DIGIC III processor works with the
image buffer to handle up to 53 JPEGs (6 in RAW) without interruption.
Canon EOS 450D SLR - Bright viewfinder
The Canon 450D is designed to make photography a fluid experience
for photographers of all levels and experience. Housed in a compact
body that weighs less than 475 grams, the Canon EOS 450D features an
improved grip design that provides a natural, ergonomic fit with the
user’s hands. A large, bright viewfinder makes image composition
clearer and more comfortable. The menu system inherited from
professional EOS cameras
uses a simplified tab structure that does away with scrolling. It
includes a user-defined My Menu tab for instant access to frequently
used settings.
Several custom functions are available to optimise the quality of
photos captured in a range of situations. Highlight Tone Priority
boosts the dynamic range at the highlight end, providing better tonal
detail from wedding dresses, cloudy skies and other bright objects. The
new Auto Lighting Optimiser corrects brightness and contrast during
image processing, while improving skin tones in portraits by ensuring
correct exposure for faces. Photographers can also enable additional
noise reduction for shots captured at high ISO speeds.
Canon EOS 450D reflex camera - Live View
Available for the first time on a Canon consumer D-SLR, Live View
mode makes it easier to shoot from awkward angles, such as ground-level
macro shots or when shooting from a tripod. The image from the Live
View mode is displayed as a smooth, 30fps video feed on the 3.0” LCD,
which is 50% brighter than the screen of the Canon EOS 400D.
A grid line display and live histogram can be selected to help with
shot composition and exposure. While focusing, the photographer can
zoom in on specific details with up to 10x magnification of the image
displayed on the LCD screen. Two types of auto focus are available:
Quick AF flips the camera mirror momentarily to engage the AF sensor;
Live AF uses the image contrast data to focus - a method familiar to
anyone upgrading from a compact digital camera. For studio
environments, remote Live View lets the photographer compose, adjust
settings and capture the shot from a PC using the supplied EOS utility
software.
