Canon EOS 450D (Rebel XSi)  If you have been reading my blogs, you might have noticed that I have a great passion for photography. What you also might have noticed is that I have been struggling for a while to really make up my mind and buy a professional camera, within my budget. Unfortunately, this has happened yet.  I made up my mind for a moment some months ago, but was talked out of it by a very close friend and a very good photographer. I was about to buy the Sony DSLR a100 and I liked the way it looked and the features it has, especially the steady shot.  Fortunately, I was talked out of my decision. The advice I got was to buy a canon, but I am not someone who just buy because of buying sake. I know what I am looking for and I really have a keen eye for features. That makes my decisions very difficult to take. I always try to get the best camera, with the most features. That is in itself a very big problem. Getting the best camera and with all the features I want was my greatest problem. At the back of my mind, I know I have to make a decision, because, no matter how good a camera is, and no matter how many features it has, there will always be an upgrade and new features will eventually be developed. So, waiting won't really help, hmmmmm, wouldn't it????  Well, its true that it might not help, but fortunately for me, my patience has paid off. Canon is releasing its new product (Canon EOS 450D also known als Rebel XSi) this March (2008), and that is exactly what I have been looking for the entire time. This camera is a 12.1 MP and has a live view, its screen is much bigger than the 400D and its processor has been updated to the Digic III.
