Good: Got my 450D used for £300. Cannot fault it.
Bad: At this price - are you kidding?!
Comment: I'm not interested in video on a stills camera, so that's not a con, in fact it's a plus! Dead easy to use, figured everything out with reading the handbook. Feels good in the hand. Images are perfect. Lens does feel a tad lightweight, but camera does what I need. Quality and reliability for the masses.

Good: Size, weight, handling
Bad: I have no dislikes
Comment: At my age most people downsize their home and I have done that; BUT I have also decided that the weight of a 10D or 40D around my neck - just to say 'look what I've got' is no longer acceptable to me. Great images can be made by a small SLR and the comfort of such a unit which allows me to create the sort of images I seek is paramount. I predict that soon all SLRs will be this small or smaller. Canon retains my loyalty.

Good: Sport mode - fast frame rate
Bad: whats not to like?
Comment: I have had by 450d now for over 10mth now and am still learnig to master all its features (especially in creative mode). The camera and supplied softeare is a joy to use and the image quality is absolutely superb. I read a lot of reviews (also speaking to camera experts - great advice/knowledge from a lad in Jacobs - Sheffield) and did a lot of research before making my purchasing decision an can honestly say i have not been dissapointed with my purchase.
Iike all good SLR the quality of the lens is imperative so my only advise would be as soon as you get the opportunity ditch the kit lens (18-55mm) and upgrade it to a good IS/USM model say 17-85mmm ISUSM. That said the 18-55 does take good quality images so no need to rush out straight way and replace it.
I bought this camera for two reason one because of my interest in photography and to capture pictures of my son as he goes up - the sport bust mode is great as the fast frame rate makes action shots a breeze even when i am using it with the 70-300mm ISUSM lens. All in all this is a great product and one i would highly recommend - worth every penny.

Good: Picture quality is outstanding, ease of use, brings professional features into a mid range product. Great value for money.
Bad: Nothing, so far I'm totally wowed,
Comment: This is a really well thought out camera, I do not agree with reviews that say this is a few updates and gimmicks, The sum total of improvements amount to a significant step forward, and introduce near professional camera level picture quality at a entry level DSLR price, I got a really good deal on a combo set with the 18-55 and 55-250 is canon lens for £700, and just seen it cheaper, damn. This takes first class pictures, brilliant!

Good: Everything
Bad: nothing so far
Comment: i have owned the EOS 450D for around a week now, and being an avid aircraft photographer i have used it so far on 2 occasions, time after time with my Tamron 18-250mm lens its exposure was spot on, the pics look fabulous, the body,grip everything is fine for me, this is by far the best Canon i have ever owned, i love it, its a cracker, if you buy one you wont be disappointed.
