This camera looks to be a winner so far. Excellent RAW picture quality. Good amount of settings (Although some may be tricky for first time users). A camera to experience rather than just point and click, would recommend sitting down with it regulary to get to grips with it. On the other hand, its the kind of camera that makes "most" photos look good anyway.
One negative would be that there was no memory card in a camera of this quality and price.

This was my first 'serious' camera, after years of playing about with PnS and bridge cameras, I wanted something that would give me greater flexibility (lenses) and greater control over what I was going to photograph (settings).
I managed to bag a second hand 450D with IS kit lens for almost exactly 400 pounds. The screen on the 450D is lovely, half an inch bigger than the 1000D. The controls are nice to use, and I've had no real problems so far. The body is unfortunately made of plastic, whereas the 40D is magnesium alloy. But, at this price it's about right.
One major negative point I have noticed about the 450D is quick-AF is less than perfect, even just using the centre point. Firing the flash often helps to make it more accurate, but quite often it slightly back/front focusses, producing ever so slightly 'soft' shots. you can get around this by using contrast-detect AF in live view, which is very accurate, or simply manual focussing.
If you are looking for a first SLR consider this one. It's like the 1000D but offers slightly more advantages, including sensitivity in the centre AF point up to f/2.8, a bigger screen and faster shooting in RAW. The megapixel difference is negligible, and for a sensor this size you really don't want to go higher than 12 MP anyway.

I purchased and received my 450D + the Canon 70-300mm lens just before a trip to south of France in August 09, and i was bent on capturing all the moment on holiday with my wife. I got very lovely photos.
The Canon 450D is a beautiful camera, just a step above the entry level for Digital SLR's. Its quite easy to use and once you can learn to fiddle with it you will get the perfect setting that suit your personal moods.
This is my first proper camera, I had gone through 3 SONY's,1st was stolen, left the 2nd in taxi in Ghana, and the last one froze while on a tour at the Vatican, then bought an Olympus Stylus 770SW, which I have given to my 7 year old son.
I am extremely happy with my 450D, learning new things everyday. It's a very addictive habit, so far I have 3 lenses now, the 18-55mm, 70-300mm, both Canon and my favorite 18-270mm Tamron. External Flash Canon 430EXII, remote-control, tripods, Crumpler Jimmy bag.etc
My photography experience has been very worthwhile, friends and family love my photos, most come out better than even the "professional photographers" they call to evens as I seem to capture better moments than they do at functions.
Sometime in the nearest future I believe my Canon might go from a hobby to a part-time profession.

Top camera and very easy to use for a novice like me, however if you want to use the manual settings then you need to read the manual. The battery is also very good and lasts at least 300 photographs on one charge

Had the Canon Eos 450d for over a year now. Battery life is really good, the quality of the images it takes is fantastic and i am no professional. Shutter speed and the rate at which it can take photos is very good for general photos. Still got a lot to learn about all the functions but would highly recommend the camera to anyone looking for an entry level slr or something a bit more serious than a simple digital camera.
