Pretend dunno la...

I dunno about 450D yet... But my 40D sound very quiet compare to 30D.

I heard similar thing also... because see those sifu like Teetoo, thier Nikon color very fancy... and very attractive like out of this world... Compare to Canon photograher, I never see those fancy color, or least far less. I doubt if Canon DPP offer such solution also...

Anyway, at this moment, I am still ok with my 40D faithful color.

live-view.. one shot.. silent mode 2 .. only sound is the window shutter closing.... and when you release the shutter button... shutter window will open..
so, you essentially half the sound... when hide your camera... before u release the button so the shutter window will open in isolation

???

sound from dslr comes from... 4 sources.. mirror flip up and down.. and shutter opening and shutting.. (and minimal sound from iriis of the lens)

with live-view on 40d 2nd mode.. only one sound.. when shutter button is pressed.. shutter window close... and when shutter button released shutter window opens.. at around 1.40min in... but his description is not so accurate thou.. 1st faint sound shutter window close.. 2nd sound window reopenned.

what's the point of moving 20D to 40D... GO 1D dude... hahahaha... =)

1D cost Rm15k just for body dude
just checked in canon midvalley yesterday
thats around 3 times the price of 40D

4 to 5x....mostly

It is more than 3 times price of 40D la..

And worst, we cannot mount the rather cheap 18-55 kit lense on the 1D.... Lenses wise, many times much more expensive...

just making an estimation, it cost rm15K++ though
how much r u selling your 30D body btw??

PM me price la... It surely cheaper than 1D...

Yeah i know about the price... but i really rather upgrade to 1D in the future when i can afford and really you get pro...

i have a lot uncles using 1D.. D2x stuffs like this, when you love photography, you love your gears even more... I think it's really worth it to buy a 1D.. for me la...

I nearly wanted to buy a used 1D markIIn before this.. really love the sleek design of the 1D... as still being a student now.. im afraid that i will need that amount of money for other more important stuffs.. so i'll just wait til i start earning money then buy fancy stuffs... like the 1D... =)

y this thread drop so fast and wtf nikon come out a dslr disturbing 450d line
i oledi decided to buy the 450d even though the d60 share the same price range
advantage is more resolution, 12mp compare to d60 10mp and cmos compare to ccd
lastly is improvement on digicIII image processor

I would say go ahead with 400D or 450D.

IMO, Canon still has one advantages to most people. Because of the EF mounting is long time established, there are many great lenses you can use and still enjoy that ultra-fast autofocusing. Example; look for used 70-200. They are cheap and very good performer.

Looks like a good deal , with those features.

want to change

for my PO,
wat i feel is Canon D400 is better than Nikon D60, in term on camera feature like 9point AF, built in AF motor...
Nikon D60 totally cannot compete with D450 because D450 add in 3"LCD, 12.4mpixel, 9point AF, built in AF motor, continuous shooting at 3.5 fps(nikon 3.0 fps), live view some more....
anyway, quality pictures and ISO noise still unknown yet...

Would this be worth jumping ship over? (Meaning ditching the D40X and purchasing the 450D instead). I haven't invested in any Nikkor lenses yet so.. ;p

Getting used to playing with the D40X atm tho.

Jumping ship or not is one thing...

But I do think D40 is not a camera to keep, too many limitation... Thanks to Nikon so kedekut and remove the motor.

I think for low budget, better get Canon as Canon all range use CMOS sensor which has better image quality. If I am not mistaken, the cheapest Nikon with CMOS is D300, which is still at least Rm5.8k...
