The 450D seems promising for an entry level dSLR which has 12.2 megapixels in it and some additional features :

1. Live view mode, including contrast-detect AF
2. Redesigned menus (including My Menu as seen in 40D)
3. New, larger, higher capacity battery
4. Standard 450D kit will include a redesigned, image stabilized version of Canon's 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens

However, it will be using SD card but luckily it supports SDHC so it wouldn't be that bad but most of the dSLR users are already having CF cards which is a setback. So I guess this is an answer to Sony's competitive A200 for the entry level dSLR. Sony is offering a price which everyone can't resist (unless you just hate Sony or probably love Canon/Nikon etc), this should be an interesting question on how much would the 450D be priced here ? Anyone has any details on this ?
