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. Less

Pros Compact, solid, easy to use, great pictures.
Cons Proprietary battery, flimsy battery/memory card door.
Recommended it? Yes

When looking for a new camera, we wanted something small, easy to use, and that took good pictures. The Nikon Coolpix S500 was a great choice.

We wanted something small so that it would be easy to carry. Although we usually carry it in a dedicated camera case, the S500 is tiny enough to... Read full review »

Poor low-light performance

bygajozinho Apr 20, 2008

Pros Looks
Cons Poor low light and high ISO performance - extreme noise
Recommended it? No

There is more to hate about this camera than to like about it, especially given the price tag. In short, unless your lighting conditions are superb, you will be disappointed every single time.

I bought this camera in a rush. I thought, oh, it's a Nikon, how bad can it be? I was sorely... Read full review »

Pros Great image quality, takes SD cards, lots of convenient features, reasonable price
Cons There’s a bit of a learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

I’ve always loved computers and taking pictures, making my love for digital photography a natural progression. My first digital camera was a 2 megapixel, alkaline battery-operated Kodak with no zoom. Luckily, technologies have advanced, and I’ve had a lot of point-and-shoot cameras that have... Read full review »

I had a 35mm Canon Rebel X camera before I bought this camera about 2 years ago.  Canon has a long history of making quality products.  This is one of them.  This is a great camera.  This camera made it easy transition to digital. The body of the camera is not too heavy. ... Read full review »
