The Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D

Written by: Tiffany Joyce

We interrupt this mini hiatus of ours with breaking news. Canon just released an announcement regarding its new upgrade on the Digital Rebel line – the EOS Rebel XSi / 450D. Here are the features:

• 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
• Canon’s EOS Integrated Cleaning System
• 3.5 frames per second
• 3.0” LCD with Live View shooting
• 9-point wide-area AF system with f/2.8 cross-type centre point
• Picture Style image processing parameters
• DIGIC III image processor
• Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software1
• Compact and Lightweight body
• Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

We heard rumors but we didn’t think they’d push through with it this soon. Jeff, the XTi/400D user, is having a cow at the moment. I, on the other hand, am lovingly caressing my 40D. Will be updating this blog as soon as Jeff recovers.

You can get it as a bundled kit (Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)) for $659.99 or body only for $616.
