Pre-PMA 2008: Canon has today announced a new compact digital SLR, the twelve megapixel EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi). On the surface a very similar camera to the EOS 400D, however there are a range of significant improvements; twelve megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both AF modes (contrast-detect and passive), 14-bit processing and RAW, spot metering, improved AF, 3.5 fps continuous shooting, a larger viewfinder, SD/SDHC storage and a new higher capacity battery. All in all a fairly impressive range of usage oriented improvements and refinements.

Looks good, but my XTi more than suites my needs for now. I'm surprised they only bumped the continuous shooting from 3 to 3.5 FPS. I was sure the next one would be 5. 1/2 a frame per second isn't much of a boost.

If I ever get another DSLR, it would probably be the 30D or 40D. It'll be good news for anyone looking to buy an XTi since the introduction of a new camera in that range will drive the price down of existing models.

Want to buy my 30D? I want a 5D now.
