Let your creative juices flow with Canon Australia's new EOS 450D digital SLR camera. Positioned between the highly acclaimed EOS 400D and 40D, the new EOS 450D successfully establishes its position as the camera of choice for first time digital SLR camera buyers who are seeking more creative control than previously offered in entry-level digital SLRs.
"The EOS 450D is a high-quality, feature-packed digital SLR and is very easy to use", said Chris Macleod, Product Manager, digital SLR, Canon Australia. "It's also lightweight and compact, making it easy for people to enjoy creative photography."
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.
