Canon EOS 450D (EOS Digital Rebel XSi / EOS Kiss X2) review

I have the XSi for a few months now with the kit lens. Also got 50 1.8 and 430EX. I come from P&S and to me the image quality just amazes. I shoot RAW exclusively and some of the cons described in the DPReview don't pertain to me (WB, JPEG etc). 12 MP is more than enough for me as the max that is print is 12x16. Color rendition is good, its easy to use with features well laid out. Some day, I plan to upgrade my lens collection and I am sure that I will be more than satisfied. Also, I do not need video in a DSLR-I am not saying this as XSi does not have it, but even with my handycam, it is just a pain to PP video files and am not a bit interested to add to it. Also, I have a lot to learn how to PP stills.

Problems:

Lately started noticing some hot pixels with long exposures-but thats expected and very easily fixed in PP.
