Canon EOS 450D Review

Canon EOS 450D is the growth increase over the previous-generation models of real-time viewfinder function, the replacement of the image sensor, increasing the display, which are obvious. However, it’s trouble lies in the fact that limited series of targeted, it must maintain the entry-level machine type of control interface, a small and simple as far as possible the fuselage, and even larger as a result of the screen, the back of the fuselage can be manipulated to a more cramped space.

The EOS 450D features:


  • 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
  • Canon’s EOS Integrated Cleaning System
  • 3.5 frames per second
  • 3.0” LCD with Live View shooting

  • DIGIC III image processor
  • Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software1
  • Compact and Lightweight body
  • Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

  • Power with the powerful battery grip Canon BG-E5

Product advantage:
1. shooting a feature-rich,
2. fast response
3. imaging noise control

Product weakness:
1, a sense of strong plastic body. Canon EOS 450D grip in the entry-level digital SLR camera configuration specifications than there are obvious advantages, especially in 3.5 / s burst speed, led, in addition to the focus of nine automatic configuration also quite brisk. But Canon EOS 450D highest sensitivity of ISO 1600 has not pushed the low-end Sony and Nikon models of high

In comparison, the Canon EOS 450D over the previous generation model EOS 500D battery grip slightly larger size, but a number of light weight, it is conceivable that, Canon EOS 450D’s plastic handle is disappointing, but not a small volume of the entire body, hands in the steady hands as worthy of recognition.

The back of the fuselage of large-size LCD screen takes up an area of great, and the manipulation of Canon EOS 450D Canon button broke the tradition of earlier and less than the EOS 400D has two buttons, but as a result of the distribution functions of rational, manipulative and not out a significant step backward.

Canon EOS 450D fuselage provides a depth of field preview button, to support the vertical lines and make the shutter handle the battery box, which uses a special rechargeable lithium batteries, with the EOS 400D or before other GM models do not. Canon EOS 450D equipped with a vertical-grip shutter button, command dial, AE lock/FE lock, and AF point selector button to enable shooting in the same fashion as a horizontal Canon BG-E5 battery grip.

Real-time viewfinder function can be said that the current DSLR battery grip camera features a large hot, Canon EOS 450D in the real-time display mode, you can screen a wide range of zoom in to any local, with the large size of the screen, can be very good monitor the effect of manual focus. Canon EOS 450D and also support real-time display in the state, non-disruptive automatic focusing screen, but the focusing speed is slower.

In the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens aperture the most, the Canon EOS 450D RAW files MTF50 to break the 2000LW/PH, high-performance pixel in the edge image detail is more obvious, JPEG sharpening value after the test may be more high. However, the high-pixel camera models on the requirements of higher quality.

From the test results, the Canon EOS 450D Digital SLR Canon has maintained the camera auto white balance accuracy has always been the characteristics of the test under the Auto White Balance color temperature deviation small. In addition, the Canon EOS 450D photo in the standard style color imaging is still under security hold a more elegant style, but red is still a relatively strong number. The EOS 450D can makes 3999 shots with the powerful battery grip as Canon BG-E3, Nikon MB-D40, MB-D80, VG-B30AM

Function Deployment from the point of view, the Canon EOS 450D is a good overall performance models mature in Canon digital SLR camera system is also the birth of the EOS 450D has a higher degree of human control systems, especially in the menus and control interface design. Performance, level of 12 million pixels in the image sensor dynamic range, image details and noise control are quite good performance, imaging color style has always maintained the characteristics of Canon, delicate and pretty elegant. It can be said that if the body good enough durability, Canon EOS 450D is a can accompany the user through the initial phase of the preferred product photography.
