I just discovered the Canon 450D announcement.

1. 12 megapixel CMOS sensor.

2. Bigger brighter viewfinder.

3. Live view.

4. Spot meter.

5. A 3 inch screen.

And much much more.

I think the camera is SUPERB, but it's launch price in the UK I believe is to be in the region of £600. A little pricey at the moment I think, and sadly they haven't improved the grip to incorporate people with bigger hands. This is the ONLY reason why I won't buy one, and am having to go to the EOS40D instead. Other than the grip issue, I think this camera will put Canon back in front on the entry level DSLR market.

Thank you for commenting on my work if I don't get round to thanking you personally.

according to the DPreview hands on report the grip has been improved significantly over the older model but they still recommend adding the optional battery grip for people with larger hands. I had one on a 350D a long time back and it transformed it's usability immeasurably.

The sample images on Canon's website aren't too convincing either - detail fine - noise in shadows - not so fine :-)

For the price, if I was going to buy a new Canon, I'd ditch the two MP's and get the 40D. I belong to a group of city photographers, and one member just got one. he loves it.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

The XTi is positioned to be a great buy due to its successor's release then eh?

Robert’s wife said to him. “If you buy a lens for Mimi I will sell you to the glue factory” :-)

Seriously, I wonder if the XSI could be described as the poor mans 40D.

How much is the XSi selling for? I got a 40D with a 28-135mm lens and a free Epson printer at Circuit City for a total of $1300.

Adorama are taking orders for the Eos 450D.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi SLR Camera Body, $799.95

Canon Digital Rebel XSi SLR Camera Body Kit, with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilizer Lens $899.95

They don’t actually have it in stock yet, no one does. However it’s the first firm price for the 450D / Xsi that I have seen yet.

The kit lens has been upgraded to an image-stabilised model making it better value than the old one.

The Digital Picture also said in their lens review that the new IS kit lens was an optical upgrade from the previous as well.
