Digital Camera Review

Dazzling image quality and flexibility
Exceptional clarity, razor-sharp images and rich colours are all the hallmarks of a Canon-developed 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor. Combined with the imaging performance and super-fast speed of the DiG!C III image processor, the EOS 450D is the perfect camera for creative photography fun.

Canon’s EOS 450D also brings photographers a host of functions for users looking to expand their scope of photography. The addition of Live View Mode with Auto Focus capabilities allows photographers to preview images in real time for greater flexibility and creative composition.

Creativity made simple
The EOS 450D is perfect for first time DSLR users. With a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor and a Mode Dial for selecting automatic modes such as Sports, Portrait or Landscape, the camera optimises the settings for particular situations and conditions, offering built-in expertise to assist the photographer in capturing their best shot. The EOS 450D can also be set to Full Manual mode, enabling even greater creative control.

Dust-free images every time
Up until now, dust has presented a challenge to capturing the perfect image. The EOS Integrated Cleaning System ensures total protection from the appearance of dust in images when shooting in adverse conditions.

Intuitive design and features
Smaller and lighter than the EOS 400D, the EOS 450D is the ideal size and weight to ensure it can be taken anywhere. A faster start up time of 0.1 seconds also ensures users won’t miss a moment when an unexpected photo opportunity arises.

Experimenting and exploring
The EOS 450D is the ideal companion for users looking to experiment with photography, pushing their creative boundaries to the next level and assisting them to produce images that are uniquely their own. Anything is possible with the EOS 450D which is set to inspire and encourage imaginative photography.

Key features:
12.2-megapixel CMOS Sensor (APS-C)
DiG!C III Image Processor with 14 bit colour (Canon Original)
3.5 frames per second with continuous shooting up to 53 shots in a single burst when shooting in JPEG
9-point Auto Focus
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Live View Mode with Auto Focus capabilities

As with all EOS models, key components for the EOS 1000D are designed and manufactured in-house to work with each other for the ultimate image quality. A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor – with larger pixels for smooth, low-noise images – offers sufficient resolution to produce prints in sizes up to A4, even when cropping your image. To protect images against the effects of sensor dust, the EOS 1000D includes the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which combats dust in three separate ways: reducing, removing and repelling.

The EOS 1000D also features a DIGIC III image processor, as used in Canon’s professional D-SLR models. This allows continuous shooting until the SD or SDHC memory card is full, at speeds of up to 3fps – with the number of shots limited only by the size of the card. DIGIC III also delivers superior image rendering, rapid operation and virtually instant start-up times.
Intelligent focus and flash

For shots where fast focusing is needed, the EOS 1000D features a 7-point wide area Auto Focus system, capable of locking onto a subject in a fraction of a second. A cross-type central focus point continues to operate effectively even when used in lower-light and lower-contrast settings. Also included is E-TTL II, Canon’s distance-linked flash exposure system found in professional EOS models.

Features at a glance:

• 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
• EOS Integrated Cleaning System
• 7-point wide-area AF system with f/5.6 cross-type centre point
• Up to 3 frames per second
• 2.5” LCD with Live View shooting
• DIGIC III image processor
• Compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards
• Compact and lightweight body
• Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software
• Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

Lets Go Digital Reviews the Sony A700 and writes:

Finally Sony are making good their promise to bring a real Alpha system on the market that not only appeals to the amateur but the semi-pro and even the professional photographer alike with the introduction of the Sony Alpha 700. …

Sony can boost on many years of experience with their image stabilization system so it is not surprising to find the Super SteadyShot system in the new Sony A700. The system works slightly different than the stabilization technique used in Sony’s camcorders. The Super SteadyShot system of the Sony Alpha 700 is quite advanced and works, in short, by means of moving the sensor that corrects camera jitter. It means that Sony uses an image stabilizer that is integrated in the body of the camera. One big advantage of this method is that lenses do not have to be equipped separately with this technique. Sony claims that the stabilization has a margin of 2.5 to 4 stops and that this is an improvement compared to the Alpha 100, thanks to the improved BIONZ processor. …

My conclusion after extensively using the Sony DSLR-A700 in practice and testing it thoroughly can be short. Sony’s Alpha 700 is a beautiful DSLR and offers the demanding photographer as well as the amateur a perfect tool to practice photography on a high level. The camera is not perfect but if you put some effort in getting to know the camera and making it part of your digital work environment, you will soon find that you have a refined DSLR camera in your hands.

DP Review has reviewed the Canon EOS 40D where they give it a rating of ‘highly recommended’ and write:

The EOS 40D becomes the sixth Canon ‘prosumer’ digital SLR, a line which started back in 2000 with the EOS D30, and how far we’ve come. It’s been eighteen months since the EOS 30D and although on the surface the 40D looks like a fairly subtle upgrade there’s a lot that makes this an even better camera. Of course we expect a step up in megapixels, and so the 40D comes with a ten million pixel CMOS sensor with the same sort of dust reduction as the EOS 400D, an ultrasonic platform which shakes the low pass filter. …

From the front at least there are very few changes from the EOS 30D, a little chiseling of the viewfinder chamber and a new finger tuck on the hand grip but overall no real surprises. The rear however has undergone more of a re-design, mostly thanks to the now three inch LCD monitor. Several buttons which ran down the left side of the EOS 30D’s monitor have now shifted to below the EOS 40D’s monitor also there’s now a dedicated AF-ON button ‘under your thumb’. We should be thankful that Canon hasn’t removed the most useless button of all; Direct Print. …

Seven years since the EOS D30, the sixth incarnation of that camera displays all of the advantages of a progressive evolution in both features and quality. With each step up the evolutionary ladder to the EOS 40D Canon has demonstrated improvements in image quality, performance, usability and features. They also demonstrated that as well as meeting the ‘requirements of the market’ they also listened to owners and reviewers by implementing the most commonly requested feature changes. With the EOS 40D these include permanent display of ISO sensitivity on both the top LCD and viewfinder status bar, the warning message with the CF compartment is opened during a write process and the addition of the AF-ON button.

Pocket-Lint reviews the Olympus E-510 DSLR and writes:

The E-510, its similar-looking bigger brother boasts a 10-megapixel resolution, Live MOS sensor, Olympus’ excellent Supersonic Wave Reduction anti dust system and Live View with a 7x and 10x magnification for accurate manual focus when in Live View mode. …The increase in size means the camera is very nice to use and reassuring to hold, plus, the 510’s extra real estate allows the camera sling to be mounted so that it does not get in the way as on the E-410. …

Okay, if you own a Canon or Nikon system you’re already locked into that are unlikely to swap due to the cost of switching all those lenses if nothing else, but if you’re trading up from compacts, across from film or simply need a compact yet superbly specified DSLR with anti shake, than the E-510 must be placed near the top of your list.
