Now with the 450D / XSi, Canon’s taken a leaf from Nikon’s strategic book and produced a classier DSLR. Some may still prefer the build and design of the D80, but the 450D / XSi is certainly an improvement over its predecessor. Same for the viewfinder. And it’s also good to find spot-metering, slightly quicker shooting, along with many of the higher-end 40D’s processing options on the 450D / XSi. Canon’s clearly going after a more discerning DSLR customer who remains budget-conscious, but is happy to pay more than the cheapest models.

The 450D features a new, 12.4 megapixel sensor. It has 12.2 million effective pixels. Further down the line, the A/D converter is capable of relaying 14 bit information to the camera’s image processor or as a 14-bit RAW file. This should, in theory at least, offer smoother gradation steps in the final images.

The new offering features a 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor at its core, supported by Canon’s DIGIC III processing. In terms of shooting speed, the new Rebel is capable to 3.5 frames per second for 53 full-res JPEGS (or 6 RAW images), and a 9-point wide-area AF system promises to speed things up as well.

At first glance, one notices the Rebel XSi’s large, 3-inch LCD monitor, enhanced from the 2.5-inch screen on the Digital Rebel XTi model. The larger 230,000 pixel screen makes it easier for users to review images and scroll through the Rebel XSi camera’s menus. The larger-sized display provides the ability to use a larger font size for menu text, making it easier than ever to read settings and options. The new screen also features a broadened color gamut, seven brightness settings for easy viewing under a variety of shooting conditions and a wide viewing perspective in all directions.
Announced pricing is $799 for the camera body only, or $899 for a kit including Canon’s new 18-55mm image stabilized zoom.
