We used for this test our 24-105mm f/4 IS zoom. The Canon 1D* DSLRs use SD-Cards in second backup slot. First Canon DSLR that uses only SD-Cards (we use 8 or 16 GB Kingston cards).Live view features a full color channel histogram to tune exposure.The second method does not require the mirror to flip down and uses the same contrast method implemented in digicams. We actually use the Quick Mode: the camera flips the mirror down and uses the usual AF camera mode. It makes focusing in Live View possible.We won't want to miss this new Live View. Live View: This is so far the most complete Live View implementation in any Canon camera.But on the other side this camera seems to show that Canon can get more pixels while keeping image quality (see later). We do not favor the Megapixel war, dictated by marketing. 12MP: This is the least exciting improvement.There are a lot of new features packed into this camera: The Canon Rebel XTi/400D is a very capable camera and now we got the new Rebel XSi/450D. Here is the gallery from this one short trip: With the XSi/450D so far not much is in our way. We comment on missing features if these features are in the way of our style of photography. Note: We only care about features that we use and this may of course differ from your demands. In a later note we plan to talk a bit about other lens choices. These are good zooms but are often out of the reach of photographers that will buy the XSi/450D. ![]() ![]() We only used so far our Canon 24-105mm f/4 IS and 70-200mm f/4 IS lenses. We still recommend to keep a spare battery in your bag. We took close to 350 photos (remember in bracketing mode each shot are 3 exposures, so we captured about 115 different compositions) and the battery wasstill going strong. Not much to complain about, except that we like faster frame rates. ![]() All shots were bracketed ( learn why) and we liked the handling of the camera. Our first trip using the XSi/450D was a daytrip at Hwy 1 (North of Santa Cruz). This is where we have our San Francisco workshops (amazingly diverse area). The second portfolio is from the SF Mission district.
