and there's some new textured areas on the hand-grip and thumb-rest on the rear of the camera. Holding the camera is a little fiddly because the EOS 450D's comparatively The hot-shoe can start to come loose if you use a speedlite flashgun, or other accessory, regularly on top of your Canon camera. A loose hot shoe causes flash connection issues such as the flash not firing or mis-firing. We can tighten loose hot shoes while you wait, or as part of a full service. We can supply user replaceable spare parts for Canon cameras such as missing screws, rubber grips, battery doors and flash stands. Several custom functions are available to optimise the quality of photos captured in a range of situations. Highlight Tone Priority boosts the dynamic range at the highlight end, providing better tonal detail from wedding dresses, cloudy skies and other bright objects. The new Auto Lighting Optimiser corrects brightness and contrast during image processing, while improving skin tones in portraits by ensuring correct exposure for faces. Photographers can also enable additional noise reduction for shots captured at high ISO speeds. Canon has always made a big thing about extremely fast shooting speeds in continuous mode, and for some people this is a major selling point in a digital SLR. I must admit I rarely use continuous mode, so I tend to consider other features more important, however the 450D will not disappoint those who feel a need for speed. In continuous mode it can rattle off 3.5 shots per second, which while not quite at the level of the EOS 1D MkIII is still pretty respectable, beating the Sony A350, Nikon D80 and Pentax K200D, and equalling the Olympus E-420.

Unfortunately, we cannot repair Canon compact cameras, either film or digital, including the IXUS and PowerShot ranges. Apparently this guy represents the tortured conscience of a guilty man. Another hand-held shot at 800 ISO, this time at 1/25th of a second while moving. your mind later.

The EOS 450D doesn’t compete with other manufacturers’ entry-level models on price, so it has to beat them on image quality and performance. Therefore it makes little sense to me to hamstring what is a very good camera by pairing it with a substandard lens. Doing so still doesn’t make the 450D cheaper than the Nikon D60, and compromises its one real advantage over its competitors. Still, I’m sure Canon knows what it’s doing far better than I do. Unfortunately due to a malfunctioning memory card I don’t have my usual selection of ISO test shots today, but I do have this shot taken at 800 ISO, hand-held at 1/5th of a second. See below for a 100-percent magnification crop. All the other test shots are at 100 ISO unless otherwise noted.

While there is naturally a little blurring from the movement of these actors, there is very little image noise, and almost none in the highlight areas. The EOS 450D performs extremely well at high ISO settings.

Repel - Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the sensor so as not to attract dust. Since the EOS 450D is significantly more expensive than its main market rivals, as one might expect it offers a significant advantage in picture quality, although this is not achieved without some effort. In default JPEG mode I found that the camera under-exposes by about a stop, especially in bright sunshine, which while preserving highlights tends to make shadows very murky. However thanks to 14-bit image processing shooting in Raw mode allows a wide range of exposure correction during post-processing, so colour and detail can emerge from shots that look hopeless as JPEGs. for up to 53 JPEGS, 6 RAW files, impressive for an entry-level model. All in all a great performance given the large 12 megapixel
