dpreview.com published a Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi / Kiss X2 Digital) Review

Quote from the review: “… The EOS 450D feels like a mature product, it is capable of superb results (even if it’s actually now good enough to reveal the limitations of the cheaper EF-S lenses) and it has a feature set that offers an excellent balance between beginner-friendly ease of use and the manual control / customization demanded by those wanting something a little more serious. …”

As we seem to get close to a possible launch date on June, 10th when the new rumoured Canon 1000D and/or rumoured 5Dmk2 /3D/ 7D announcement is expected a buying decision should be put on hold untill this entry level camera could be compared against the 1000D (rumoured specs: 10.1 MP CMOS, Digic III, 7-point AF, 3 fps, 2.5 inch LCD, Live View, Interface similar to the 450D).
