Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi

Youngest member of Rebel family of Canon. There are significant differences between 400D (Rebel XTi) and 450D (Rebel XSi). 450D comes with a image stabilizer lens, and live view lcd also it has dust control system. It is using SD storage cards which is lighter than Compact Flash Cards used in other Rebel cameras of Canon. If you are planning to buy this camera, i suggest you to wait a couple of months until its price decreases unless you are in a hurry.

I recently wrote about beginner and semi-pro level digital slr cameras but they were mostly brief information, and my own opinion about these cameras but didn’t include the technical details about the cameras. So i decided to write about the spesifications of the cameras that i wrote about before.

Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel XTi

Another good beginner level DSLR from Canon. If you can not afford to buy 450D (Rebel XSi), 30D or 40D, i advice you to buy this camera. It has nice features like dust control system. If you buy this camera probably you won’t need a new camera for a long time, you can use 400D when you are learning photography, also it will be enough for you when you become an intermediate level photographer. But also remember if you buy 40D it will be more satisfying when you become an intermediate level photographer, because 40D is a semi-professional camera and naturally it is more expensive than 400D and 450D.

Conclusion; this is a nice and relatively cheap camera to begin photography.
