Whoa!! Looks sweet!

the most important thing is to consider live view. other than that, i dont see why need to headache over 400 or 450

but do correct me if i'm wrong

Added on March 21, 2008, 10:58 ami doubt you will want to use iso3200 most of the time. dark picture? exposure is the key

Added on March 21, 2008, 11:08 amthe manufacturer can always claim high ISO but do take note that these can also mean excessive processing. and most of the time, ISO 3200 give you crap pics

Believe me. Sometimes you really need ISO3200. And by not having ISO3200, Canon 450D is doomed to failed
except for those who really like Canon.

Exposure is not the key. If its the key, then why need ISO? Not all case exposure
can fix the dark picture issue.

IF 450D price more than RM3K, might as well i'll settle for 400D
400D price surely gonna drop a bit, i know not much BUT at least i will get the closest to 450D

when can we start playing with this camera in stores!!!

Yo guys...here some 450D image gallery

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0803/08032101...450dgallery.asp

Launched in Japan today... played with one... sturdy/light.. little camera.. controls may not be as convinient as 40d... not use to it with the short time playing with it... Live-view activates as 40d does.. but still need to figure out how to enable the AF.. with either mirror flip down or the digital/onscreen AF

It's disappointing that 350/400/450D does not have quick dials like 40/5/1D.
Maybe the live view AF option is in Custom function menu like 40D?

BTW guys
What is the current price of the 400D with Battery pack?
I think will settle for 400D since the price of 450D i expect is more than RM3K

Cost just rm 2.6k on amazon.co.jp for body only

Which model r u talking about? 450D isn't it?

Hmmmmm

I'm not surprised. The 450D with kit lens is US$899 there, about Rm 27xx here...

It's still below RM3K isn't it?
Or Canon Malaysia will mark up a bit?

With that offer at gurney and the price given by canon concept at the curve, either they got it very wrong or they will mark up the price... haihz...

...IF that so, i wait for Canon Malaysia sales then
their main office at Shah Alam

Hmm.. i was under the impression that canon concept stores and canon malaysia is interconnected.....lolz. I DO hope that it would be less than rm300 0 but now that seems like a long shot....

That's the problem
Even for their own staff, no staff price what so ever
They just hold 2,3 days of sales at their office in SA

GUYS
Any news how much 450D with basic acc?
Any free gift come with the set?

Just be patient. I think getting a 450D is more worth it. Its better then 400D 10 folds. + the body is >26++rm for the body only. If with lens kit not more then <32++rm. So i would think the price range is about >27++RM <32++RM.

I will wait to see how much the 400d would drop in terms of price before I will say which is worth my money... I hope that the 450d will not release more than rm3000.
