EOS 450D functionality
If you are new to the world of digital SLR's then the below explanation of the above features should help.
12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
The flexibility offered through the 12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor is apparent in the detail of resolution for poster-size prints and is excellent when cropping. Sensitive in low light and virtually noise-free, Canon’s CMOS sensors are also remarkably power-efficient.
3.5 fps shooting
The Canon 450D captures up to 3.5 frames per second for a continuous burst of up to 53 large JPEG images (6 in RAW).
9-point wide-area AF
The 9 AF points are spread out across the frame to better accommodate off-centre subjects. The central AF point is a high sensitivity cross type sensor for quick, accurate focusing with f/2.8 and faster lenses.
Canon 450d Integrated Cleaning System
The Canon 450d has a built-in dust prevention system which uses three methods to keep images blemish-free. Firstly, specialised materials reduce dust generation within the camera. Secondly a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit shakes dust from the sensor each time the camera is turned on or off. Finally any stubborn spots of dust are mapped for easy removal in Digital Photo Professional.
3.0” LCD with Live View mode
The bright 3.0” LCD provides sharp definition for checking focus and composition, with 10x magnification for finer details. When shooting from awkward positions, Live View mode gives you the option of framing the image from the LCD, and a choice of focussing modes.
DIGIC III processor
Canon 450 is renowned for its white balance accuracy, DIGIC III renders colours with brilliant, true-to-life precision. Captured images are processed in 14-bit colour depth for finer tonal gradations. DIGIC III works efficiently to minimise power consumption while maintaining ultra-fast response times.
Large, bright viewfinder
A large viewfinder gives a bright and clear view for easy composition of the scene.
Total image control
Gain easy control over image processing parameters with Picture Style presets. Contrast, sharpness and saturation can be customized in-camera or through the supplied Picture Style Editor software. After the shoot, Canon’s RAW processing software Digital Photo Professional provides everything you need to manage and process your RAW images.
Compact and lightweight
Ergonomically designed for natural and intuitive handling, the Canon EOS 450d is housed in a compact body that weighs in at just 475 grams.
EF lenses and accessories
The Canon EOS 450d is compatible with over 60 EF/EF-S lenses and all EX Series Speedlite flash units.
