The only disappointment is that while the JPEG buffer depth gives you at least 25 shots in burst mode, the increased pixel count means you’ll still only get five frames if you shoot RAW rather than JPEG.Targeted at the photo enthusiast market Canon has unveiled the 12.2-million-pixel EOS 450D with features such as Live View and a 3in LCD screen. It’s a little faster, too, with a burst rate of 3.5fps over the 3fps of the previous models – enough to make a noticeable difference to action shooting. The physical design continues to evolve, with a slightly more curvy body and – when you press the shutter release – a more muted shutter sound. On top of that, look through the viewfinder and you can now see the ISO sensitivity setting as well as aperture and shutter-speed information, which should eradicate a major cause of accidentally less-than-perfect shots. Our favourite is the addition of a spot-metering mode, which has always been artificially absent from the range. That gives around two stops of leeway and mitigates the relatively slow f/3.5 maximum aperture, allowing for practical indoor shots without flash in moderate light.īeyond the headline stuff, Canon has made some genuine improvements to the 450D’s features. It still has an 18-55mm zoom range, and it still feels lightweight and a little on the under-built side, but crucially it now comes with optical image stabilisation. Last on the list of major new features is the standard kit lens.
