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

The EOS 450D with 18-55 IS lens is very good choice and it is competitive with those from several other more expensive cameras.
The images are sharp and color is excellent.
The camera is light a good match for the 18-55 IS Lens. AF is fast and accurate. The 18-55 IS Lens is provides better images than the expensive 17-85 IS and the 18-55 is all I need for most applications.
The level of lenses are lower than sensor. It's better to set only central point for focusing, otherwise sometime pictures are out of focus
the Battery life is acceptable if you dont use the live view feature.
The raw processing software provided with the camera is very good. I‘ve been using the RAW + Jpeg setting and find the Raw images have quality and processing advantages over the Jpegs.
only thing about im not happy is 3.5 frames a second .
