Camera 450D - Wonderful Pictures, Settings, Partially Hidden

I have a long analog past behind me, only a Minolta xd7, then another and then finally digitally Minolta Dynax a Minolta DiMAGE 7i. After Minolta has slept through the digital development and, consequently, has dropped out of the market, it was time to invest in a new system. Since Canon lenses offered to join me and the world leader in DSLRs is, it was not a big problem to decide whether to Canon.

But the camera:
The Image quality is excellent, perhaps a bit worse than the 400D, which is probably due to the higher pixel count (12 instead of 10 MP) on the same space.

The case also makes a good impression, although I think it's a bit small for my relatively large hands. This could probably create the battery grip help.

Although I use almost exclusively the semi-automatic (aperture or time) and the manual mode, but the inclusion programs for beginners are certainly very useful. The According Portrait Program I use now and again very happy if I have no desire to make all the necessary settings by hand.

The equipment of the camera is, as usual with Canon, fairly abundant. Finally, there is also an automatic sensor cleaning; how effectively they work, but will be told only after some time. In contrast to the 400D, the Camera 450D has a spot metering (I use very often). Not bad, but on systemic change to Canon is that the image stabilizer in the lens and is not in the housing, for bright AND stabilized lenses achieve extremely high price levels. But well, so far we went without a stabilizer. .

The Kit lens is held in the usual Kit lens for lightweight and quality, ie at least it is completely out of plastic, and the bayonet fitting is made of plastic. As mentioned earlier, the standard, however, after all, the lens is stabilized. I will stay here only to criticize that the Canon lens hoods are sold separately, which is a bad habit.

Now for the general criticisms, there are therefore only 4 stars: The camera is equipped be great, but, for example, compared to the Olympus E510, which I have also tried out a shortcoming: Many settings are available only via the menu and order elegant bar even when the camera is in the eye.

- What disturbs me personally the most: to be the spot mode must be set in advance of the display, it is not possible to activate it as usual with a button and turn off when you release the button again.

- The flash control is also available only at the third level of menu. That is, if you want to make quick settings, simply "too far away." A little better is when the setting in the user-configurable "My Menu" takes over.

- The white balance can be in the camera does not specify a particular Kelvin number. This is only possible if one works in Raw Mode and then adjusts white balance on the computer.

In general, I am aware that I am here kritsiere things that are more professional cameras after Canon Market Policy reserved. However, the above-mentioned Olympus E510 offers these capabilities in the same price range. Therefore, "only" four stars.
