Review:
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.

Canon EOS 7D
It's got flaws, but the 7D moves the goalposts so far that competitors will need binoculars
Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
