 First SLR, lots of classes and play September 6, 2010

This is my first SLR purchase. I have now owned for two years and I couldn't be happier with my purchase (except maybe the new version :D). I love this camera! The way it is set-up it is very easy to get used to. I have taken this thing EVERYWHERE. Hiking, boating, all but under water and it has held up GREAT! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good entry-level SLR like I was. As for lenses, I have purchased both Canon and off-brand and I am just as happy with the much cheaper off-brand. I see no HUGE difference between Canon, Sigma, or Quantaray. Save the money if you are doing it for fun like me... it really doesn't matter.
While it is definitely not TOP of the line I would say it does its job well. I have won several photo competitions against people with much more expensive cameras and equipment.

This was my re-introduction to the world of photography. This camera has done 120,000miles with me as I have taken it everywhere i have been. I love it, it works.
Beginner's DSLR August 23, 2010

It really is a beginner's DLSR, mainly because the features reflect the basic DSLRs such as ISO speed and white balance, spot metering etc. but still is under par when compared to the EOS 50Ds for example. But is complete value for money if you are looking to get started in photography, which I believe is more about taking and framing a picture with good composition skills. Once that has been accomplished you can aim for better equipment. But all said, it IS a DSLR.. when you want to take that awesome shot, you can always get your awesome lenses which is such a huge segment in DSLR photography. So I would definitely recommend the EOS 450D to anyone starting out with some amateur photography. Go for it!
P.S. +ves - Lighter, good display, ease of use, cost
-ves - ISO speed max - 1600, not a higher end DSLR
Great for beginners. August 22, 2010

I'm happy with the camera, I purchased the body only so I could get a nicer lens. I also added a battery grip to the camera because the body is a little small to hold when you have a large lens on it. I also put on a hand strap to help prevent hand shaking, which also helps out a lot with the strain of holding this heavy camera. It has been an easy to use camera, I purchased a DVD about the Rebel XSi just so I could learn what all of the buttons do faster than it takes to read the manual. I found it to be extremely useful, since this is my first DSLR. I've had the camera for over a year now, and am happy with it, but it doesn't come with any extras. All of those little extras add up quickly, and this can be an expensive hobby! I purchased an eye piece extender, which is great. I think it should have come standard with the camera. The only complaint I have is that the LCD screen does not work the same way a point and shoot does. I was unable to take any photos in focus. Once I stated using the viewfinder I had much better success. I had gotten really spoiled using the LCD screen on my point and shoot, so it took a little time to get used to the viewfinder again.
Decent camera with good value for money August 22, 2010

I had used analogue Canon EOS rebel 2000 SLR camera earlier. That made using this camera very easy. The camera is lightweight (for an SLR camera), easy to use and has excellent battery life. Picture quality is quite good for outdoor as well as indoor pictures, though with automatic mode indoor pictures tend to be a little overexposed. For an amateur who wants to try out a digital SLR camera its excellent value for money.
