We've come to expect slightly softer images from Nikon - especially compared to Canon's slightly 'punchier' default JPEG settings, but there's no doubt that the EOS 450D is capturing marginally more detail across the frame, something no amount of sharpening is going to change. That said, we're not talking about the kind of difference that you'll see at normal enlargement sizes. As noted in the D60 review its default colors are a little more vivid than the Canon's, though of course both cameras offer lots of control over image parameters.
Overall the EOS 450D's output is pretty impressive; it's not a great leap forward from the EOS 400D (Rebel XTi), and unsurprisingly the extra 2MP don't seem to make a lot of difference, but there's little to complain about here.

Sony's new a7R IV has grabbed headlines with its new 61MP sensor and revamped autofocus system, but it also comes with a ton of refinements in terms of handling, build, and more. Find out all the details in our initial review.
The Canon G5 X Mark II earns a Silver Award with its very good image quality, flexibility and the overall engaging experience of using the camera. However, if you need the very best in autofocus and video, other options may suit you better. Find out all the details in our full G5 X II review.
360 photos and video can be very useful for certain applications (as well as having fun). The Vuze+ is an affordable 360 camera that supports both 2D and 3D (stereo vision) capture, and might be the best option for someone wanting to experiment with the 360 format.
The Mikme Pocket is a portable wireless mic with particular appeal to smartphone users looking to up their game and improve the quality of recorded audio without the cost or complexity or traditional equipment.
The EOS M6 Mark II renews Canon's commitment to making small, enthusiast-friendly APS-C mirrorless cameras. With 4K video, 30 fps Raw bursts and additional controls, it's a big step forward from its predecessor. And perhaps more interesting than the EOS 90D.
