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

This is my Second Canon EOS along with a 30D. I bought the 450D mainly for the live view feature to enable sharp focusing. I have had the Camera specially modified for astro photography to increase the Red/IR sensitivity as on Canons previous EOS 20Da model. (Raw images can have the colour balanced restored in processing for normal daylight work) The 450D produces excellent low noise images but has somewhat limited high ISO at 1600. Will produce good astro images unmodified at the expense red sensitivity.
Very good camera for all occasions and work.

Problems:

None realy, but feels cheap compared to a 30D
Annoying screen display with no timer function to disable.
