Camera 450D – Faultless, The Best Camera I Have Owned
This is an absolutely wonderful camera and my first digital SLR. I have previously owned a Canon EOS (35mm) and was using a Canon IXUS 500 until it started malfunctioning recently. I think this is an excellent, and very reasonably priced, starter digital SLR. I have seldom been so delighted with any purchase.
Firstly it is ridiculously easy to get started, taking wonderful photos on basic (automatic) settings. Photographing 2 energetic children makes the continuous shooting option a great way of getting some good shots when (as always) they are too active to keep still for any length of time.
The kit does not come with a memory card, but the 4GB one I am using is plenty for starters, though I’m planning to buy a larger capacity one before going on holiday. The photos taken in jpeg form on basic settings actually use much less memory than I’d anticipated (4-5 mb).
I miss the movie feature common to practically all compact digital cameras these days, and the increased bulk of an SLR means I often choose not to take the camera on brief outings (park etc). I will need to get a pocket/ handbag sized little compact too, I think.
The lens included in the kit is a very good quality piece of equipment, and ideal to start off with. I will want to add one with a longer zoom eventually, but this has a great range and manages ‘normal’ photography and macros really well.
Obviously no bag is included, but there are lots of good ones out there; I’m using one I had for the old 35mm SLR. Incidentally the lenses from my old 35mm Canon also work perfectly well with this one.
The software included is easy to use, and uploads pics to the PC at incredible speed. I haven’t yet managed to get it to automatically rotate the portrait shots, but I’m working on it…
Overall I’m a very happy customer. I rate Canon cameras highly, and once again they have not disappointed me.
Camera 450D – Camera Buyer Beware
Nope I can’t tell if this camera will meet your needs. But warn you when buying your camera no mater what make. Be sure that the camera is distributed from the UK otherwise you won’t get any rebate and if you do get a fault you will have to ship it to the country of origin.. If in any doubt get email proof from the seller before you part with your hard earnt cash..
I have been researching a new camera and have been surprised by the number of non UK cameras being sold on Amazon and by other companies on the web.
Camera 450D – Great Camera, Buy It!
I do not consider myself to be a good photographer, nor could I explain half of the features on this camera or how they work. All I know, is that the majority of the time I’m extremely happy with the pictures.
On a recent trip to HongKong what amazed me the most was the quality of pictures at night. Even on the most basic of settings, the camera was able to capture clouds and other details that weren’t immediately obvious to the naked eye. The stabilising functionality is also not bad, as a good number of my pictures came out crisp and clear – impressive considering I was on the Star ferry at night being bounced around by the harbour waves. The battery also seems to go on forever.
Interestingly, I still carry my Sony Cyber Shot as well, as I like to shoot events with short movie clips to capture the sounds as well. On my old Sony 4Gigs seemed like loads of memory, but for the Canon I have 2 SD cards @ 16Gigs each… More a reflection of my new found love for taking pictures
