I am the most proud user of this camera. :D
I don't know how to begin with saying how perfect it is.
My first (and previous) DSLR was an Olympus E-410 with a 14-42mm lens. It was very hard for me using this camera since it didn't listen to me. The flash popped up whenever I disabled it, the colors and depth were horrible and it was an awful experience for a beginning-photographer.
I really liked the Canon brand and finally decided to sell my olympus and buy a Canon. When I was searching on the net for good camera's I came across the 500d, 550d, 50d and nikon d5000 and d90.
After days and days of reading reviews and watching videos, I decided to buy a canon 50d over the nikon and other bodies. While the nikons have better image quality, I started to dislike the brand (I'm not hating it! I believe its just as great as Canon). I read some information about Nikon that the brand was much 'better' 10 or 15 years ago then it is now. I really don't care about the detail, I just like the canon family. I like the straps, the form of the bodies, the white L lenses. It was a personal decision.
So yeah, I was thinking of buying a 50D at first. It is a great camera but if I purchased this one, I had to buy a cheaper lens and I did not want to buy the kitlens(es).
Lenses are way more important than DSLRbodies and that changed my mind.
It didn't matter for me which body I would buy, I wanted a 50mm f/1.4 lens.
So I bought the most expensive body I could buy with my crappy budget.
I could also buy a canon 1000d but that was too much of a entry-level camera.
I'm not saying thhe XSi/450d is a professional one, but it doesn't feel like an entry DSLR and the pictures prove it.
The images are almost perfect with the body and the lens. I'm a harddie photoshop user and this saved many hours for me!
I am glad I bought this camera and this lens. Even iff you got some more money I wouldn't suggest you to buy a 500d or 550d (only if you want the video-mode). Save just a bit more money and buy another great lens.

So hopefully the issues with focusing should be resolved, my Dad is very happy with his purchase.

Had one of these earlier in the year for a few months, as was very happy with a Canon Powershot A640 and wanted to upgrade to something a little more serious for work, while staying with the Canon brand. I took some great shots but ended up selling the EOS 450D and buying a Nikon. Why? Because of several reasons. Had serious problems with over exposure and focus when paired with a Sigma 70-300mm Lense, to the point of missing several great shots. I also don't like the position of the on/off switch, which is under the mode dial, as apposed to under the shutter release on Nikon models, which makes it harder to turn on, and easy to forget to turn off. Also, I was somewhat concerned with the build quality of this camera, which felt somewhat cheap and fragile.

I love it! I previously owned the 350D and loved that model. However, I found it a little difficult to find my way around the various functions and settings. The result was that I mainly used the camera on automatic settings - which still achieved great photos. The 450D is so much easier to use. There is easy access to all functions, and I have found myself experimenting much more with different settings. I couldn't be happier :)

Having played with this camera for over 3 weeks and taken 600+ shots in a recent holiday with a number of different settings / conditions etc... I am very pleased with the purchase. My view (non professional) is that this is a really solid performer with no 'frills' (i.e. it's a camera, who cares about video...) and does what it is supposed to very well. I carried it around for days and it's light enough - the battery lasted for days - the quality of the pictures is good - the usability is good with really intuitive layout of buttons and functions. Personally - having pretty big hands - a larger body/grip would have been nicer so I might invest in the additional battery pack. If you really need more specs from a camera, then the next step up is a full frame machine if you are after processor quality, or one with a higher shooting rate if you are into sports photography. Else, I think this is a solid performer but do invest in a few decent lenses, which will make a world of difference.

I like the way I pick up and naturally take the camera into town on business trips and stop and take pictures of buildings, people, and things happening. It has a foolproof automatic setting for those that want such things, frames pictures well, is remarkably quick to wake up from switch on, and usually gets a usable result in bad lighting conditions. Controls are very well placed so rarely confused. Still lots to explore but I do like this camera.
By C. X. Linton-Willoughby (UK)
Page 31 of the Instruction Manual (the page headed 'Installing and removing the Card') begins "The captured image is recorded onto the card (sold separately)."
So, the memory card is not missing from the camera.

Having owned a Canon film SLR - I knew i would have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the digital world . Having done a lot of background reading , i decided this was the ideal model to start with for the money . It really is idiot proof and easy to handle and understand . Although would advise getting "Canon 450d for dummies " as the best instruction book --its fantastic and will help you get the best from your camera --the small camera instruction book is woefully inadequate ! Brilliant camera from the ever reliable Canon !!! You'll wonder how you managed without it !!
By Mr. Luke Timms (England UK)
This camera is great, its my first "proper" camera and I am impressed! Once I got used to the menu system and how to switch between modes I was away as a novice user. Then moving along to more advanced settings was a great trial and error method, which is obviously the beauty of digital cameras, you can capture, view and try again.
I have taken this camera and lenses to Africa for Safari and have some AMAZING photos that I am very proud of. Most of the hard work was done by the camera, I merely pointed, set the correct white balance and fired away.
I did a lot of research before buying this camera and it came out tops for what I was after, I highly recommend this camera and lens for anyone starting off with Digital SLR cameras. I use it practically daily!
The extra chunk of cash for the lens pack was also worth it as its both a good lens and cheaper bundled like this. Yes you can get other makes cheaper, but I don't feel they are of the same quality as a Canon made one.
Overall a good buy and I'm very glad this is now part of my life!

All I can say is this camera is fantastic. I have come through the ranks using various SLR's, onto digital compacts upon which I reached their limits and so last March bit the bullet and invested in an EOS 450d, I also purchased the 250mm lens and a couple of filters (based upon my original SLR uses). From opening the box this camera has done nothing more than deliver high quality and excellent shots. The manual provided is very basic and does not delve too much onto the complete spread of functions and utilities, however for a new user those type of functions may make it seem as being too complex to use and so I think Canon have given us a good compromise. The size, weight and feel of the camera lend you to knowing you have a serious piece of kit without being too heavy, cumbersome or uncomfortable, I have taken it abroad a few times this year and it certainly does not take up too much space, even with tripods and other items. I specialise in Landscape and Portrait photography and this year with this camera things have turned around, the battery life is incredible and even in high resolution mode depending on the size of memory card you use you have at hand the potential to shoot over 1000 images and more quite comfortably without the need of worrying about space to store them. I took some images of some sunsets and using the 250mm lens managed to get full frame, pin sharp, sunshots, and with the use of a couple of filters the results were quite simply stunning. I am by no means an accomplished photographer and found that to get these shots I had to delve into the further functions of the camera but the results were well worth the effort and I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience taking them. I was a little concerned as to whether the 250mm lens would be up to my expectations and since my old SLR had a 500mm lens I did not think that this new unit would in any way compare, oh how wrong I was, although the lens comes with the image stability function I still reverted to making sure I had a suitable mount to take my images and it was no problem at all for this unit, in fact I find myself now taking more pictures on the fly rather than hoping to be in the right place at the right time to grab an image. To date and over 6 months down the line I still enthuse about this camera and am in fact considering purchasing the newer version only because of the higher pixel range, but, in all honesty I can see me sticking with this unit for a few years yet and it will be hard to part with it. Those that have seen my images are extremely impressed and when you talk to people about the camera they know you are serious as soon as you mention the name. So if you you are a budding enthusiast wanting more bang to the buck then this unit is ideal. Even if you find that your digital compact leaves you wanting more then this is the ideal camera, and if you are a die hard film SLR buff and you really do not want to change then I seriously urge you to reconsider, this camera gives you all of the advantages of an SLR and a whole lot more plus you are getting up to date using a classic and as yet proven method of image taking. Because Canon have now released a newer version the prices are now falling slightly and so make it an even more viable purchase and investment, whether you are into general photography or specialise in a certain field this unit can handle it quite easily, from amateur to pro, it is up to you. For me, it is probably one of my better choices of purchase this year and cannot wait to get to use it again. A final note, the camera comes with an excellent software suite that gives you plenty of flexibility to enhance change, recolour or whatever it is you fancy with the final image. I am a Photoshop user and to date have not had to make any image adjustments to any shot taken,that in itself speaks volumes in saving time and getting the final image printed. I could go on a lot more about it, and yes I am biased about this unit, I try but cannot find fault with it, and it saddens me in so far as that my old SLR film days are long gone, the equipment, well, it is all boxed in the loft gathering dust and I will probably never use it again, maybe when the grand kids ask what we used to use and I will have them to show but that is about it. A shame yes, but technology has now caught up and leaves my old film days a remnant of the past. Still the upshot being that I no longer have to pay for developement or printing so it may in the end pay for itself that way.

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.
By C. J. Fraser
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
By Canon Eos User (London, UK)
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.
