this model didn't compete with A200, it will compete with D80/D80 replacement and A300/A500.

I place my bet this model gonna be screwed by D80 replacement for sure..just wait and see...

i'm sure D80 replacement able to do that. the D80 isn't lose much compare to 400d at iso1600.

if D80 replacement is what ppl expected using CMOS sensor, i bet it gonna able to compete with canon.

and nikon is well known to screw canon in term of specs whenever Canon launch their new model 1st tongue.gif

canon only can fight back in term of pricing

Not the best now. Coz Nikon seems to be getting better tongue.gif.
Do you want to invest in super high speed SD card if u know
u wanna upgrade to better dSLR tat using CF card in the future?


By the way, seems like the option for ISO 3200 exist in Sony A200 but missing in Pentax K200D and Canon 450D.
Is Sony a better option in low light photography? tongue.gif

Yea, it might be more expensive than 40D too, considering D80's(Entry Level DSLR) price is around Canon 30D's(Intermediate Level DSLR).

Yeah true, but how often do we use ISO3200. Its usually used under emergency situation only wert, so i guess it doesnt really matters. The only concern now Canon should have is how they should place their pricing, so many dSLRS are launching around this time and they all have competitive prices. Hopppeeefullllyyyy, it'll be the price around A200. But sounds impossible tho with this kind of features. T.T

I dare to confirm that it won't. 450D and 40D is dSLRs of both diff range. Even the sensor size varies and of course, the continuos shooting speed. 3.5 vs 6? Definitely 450D will be much cheaper then de 40D but might be around the price of the 400D now. I think.

I have no idea why they wanna switch to SD card, cause almost all professional dslrs uses CF card. Is SD card's writing speed really higher than CF? No idea.

there's SD card that gives 133x speed. And some offering higher speed. So i doubt that's going to be a problem.

350D is still a good camera. It's just that maybe 450D is better, but dslrs have to keep up with the technologies you see. If not there wun be any improvements. So just get what suits you and your budget the best, smile.gif

yup. if u read The Star - In-Tech review last time, they said that 400D had more noise than 350D, although the 400D had improvements in other areas such as preview screen, etc.

If people already got 350D or 400D then it's better to go for ++D and above rather than going sideways with 450D IMO. Unless for a 2nd body or personal pics but other than that it'd better tp go up than lateral.

Look at the sample pics here.

View large, ISO 400 doh.gif . We must give thanks to Canon for make us value our 350D/400D IQ even more.

olympus already has dslr with live view for the entry level.

but i like remote live view of the 450d, very useful when taking figures,models,products photos rolleyes.gif

okay,

Is that considered as very noisy? I find it acceptable tho. Probably we should wait for the review to be release. I guess Canon wun be so careless to make a new dslr that has a bad noise control mechanism compared to it's older siblings? haha.

why SD? most Canon PnS nowadays uses SD card. so, when 450D uses SD, lotsa canon users will jump into the dslr bandwagon. marketing

Yeah true, but how often do we use ISO3200. Its usually used under emergency situation only wert, so i guess it doesnt really matters. The only concern now Canon should have is how they should place their pricing, so many dSLRS are launching around this time and they all have competitive prices. Hopppeeefullllyyyy, it'll be the price around A200. But sounds impossible tho with this kind of features. T.T
*
But compare to other competitors, A200 can do, D40x can do. I don't understand why Canon still refuse to do it. Yes, I agree, not all the time we need it, but it is nice to have when we need it. Some might argue we can shoot -1 EV in ISO1600, but that require more post processing.

Canon is among the best in noise controlling.

Nikon D300 noise control is getting very closed to the Canon 40D. Before this, Canon is about 1 stop better. Some said D300 has cleaner picture, I think it is, but it achieves by sacrify the details due to heavier noise reduction.

Not sure how this 12MP 450D can achieve the same noise level as 400D. But I rather have a 8MP sensor with 2 stop better ISO. If the rumor Nikon D60, D90 whatever is using the D300 12MP, Canon 40D 10MP sensor already can't beat the D300 12MP sensor, do you think the 450D 12MP pixel can?

why are you even comparing a d300 with a 40D? one is using 12mp and the other one is only 10mp. The diff is clear already when you're pixel peeping. Yes both of them are semi pro dslr but when you want to compare images right off the sensor, 12mp holds more advantage to 10mp.

Canon isn't the best in noise control anymore, every brand has a CMOS now. The D300 and A700 have comparable levels to the 40D.

The CMOS noise control would've been what made my decision for Canon 2 years ago... but I realized that the ergonomics and features are honestly lacking. Only now does the 450D put a Spot Meter and a better grip!

Also, the 400D was noisier than the 350D because they bumped up the resolution. We don't know how the 450D will fare because they bumped it up again!

The 450D is going to be priced higher than the A200... but the A200 is fighting the 400D, which will drop price. The Live View Sony A300 will come later to fight the 450D and D80 replacement.

I'm comparing noise level of their sensor. D300 12MP is very close to the 40D 10MP in term of noise.
So I am wondering, how is the 450D 12MP sensor in term of noise.

that will a good sign for consumers or those who want to buy a new DRSL camera like me....should wait until March and get 400D after 450D launch.

Well, if 450D retains the same sensor as 350D/400D... not good for noise performance... same fate as 400D over 350D. Or even if 450D can retain good noise performance, more loss of detail will be expected due to hardware/software noise reduction.

In this case I believe 400D will still have its place... just like how Nikon segmented D80 and D40x in their entry line-up, Olympus with their E-510 and E-410, and Sony with their (soon to come) a300 and a200. Pentax will need to catch up too.

You will never understand... It is not easy...

It is like having a new galfriend or new car or new toy, we will really pay attention and spend time on new stuff. It is hard to explain logically...

And 450D is certainly not the same scenario as Protoon Saga as this will be the first and also cheapest live view camera among Canon & Nikon camera. Live view really geng! thumbup.gif

Imagine in LRT you saw a beautiful gal, but shy to shoot her directly. So you can enable live view and shoot from odd angle (pretending just holding the camera), and no one know... Snap Snap Snap... smart le... laugh.gif

I am selling off my 30D mainly because of 2 reasons;

(1) It does not have the live view. It is kind of complicated to use for most people, especially those come from PnS. They always expect they can view live from the LCD screen.

(2) Many friends will ask... Why you still keep you 30D? After repeating asking by them really frustating... until think 30D is outdated and no longer in la.... sad.gif

Feature pro or not pro depends on how you think la...

To me live view geng geng... It had gotten me some lenglui pictures... brows.gif althought no eyes contact la... And during live view on 40D, the shutter very quiet because mirror lock up liao... no one know if you are shooting... remember to use IS lenses because odd angle usually shaky a bit.... laugh.gif

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. smile.gif

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.

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

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... =)

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. thumbup.gif

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... hmm.gif

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...

Yeah I heard that the D40X can only use certain lenses because of this missing motor (else have to manual focus). What's up with this anyway?

In comparison, the Canon 450D is able to use all Canon ranges of lenses I presume?

Also, how does this Live View work compared to the PnS? Is there any difference or would this camera be the perfect transition camera for PnS users?

Canon 450D can use all Canon EF lenses back to 20 years old one... I really can autofocus and everything...

It is always the good time to switch from PnS into dSLR. Wait until next month 450D got stock. Try not to get the current 400D because no live view.

If you jump ship to Canon 450D, I would suggest used EFS17-85 USM IS + EF85 f1.8 USM for potrait

I heard that Sony lens bokeh is the best in the industry with good fluidity. So you better buy A300 smile.gif

I heard Nobita already took the 1Ds Mark VI. So Doremo cannot send to you. Nobita is more important than TheVOIP.

Hard to compare like that because 450D will be able to compatible with the excellent 85 f1.2 L II, while the D80 cannot... brows.gif

Just kidding... i think should be D80.

The differences should be 450D has higher image qualiy, megapixel count and live view.

And as usual, the Nikon feel more 'solid' and 'reliable'. icon_rolleyes.gif

I don't think it will be more than RM3k looking at their target market. Isn't xxxD range for beginners?

Canon is still keeping 400D for their low end entry level. 450D is for higher amateur... it will be priced at least 2.8K... but 3K wont be too surprising. It has bigger MP, Live View, those eyestart AF like Sony/Minolta, kit lens with IS.... sure these new attributes contribute to higher selling price.

Should be around April plus minus. And no, I dont think there is any detailed review around yet. DCM and In-tech only tell you about the announcement in PMA and a bit specs only. No review yet. Anyone find one please post here. Thanks.

My experience is don't buy direct from Canon. Everybody knows it. They sell at recommended retail price and it is usually way off the chart. Try scouting on the local stores. You will likely get a good price. Just make sure that you only buy Canon products with the sticker 'Imported by Canon Marketing Malaysia' and insist upon the green label warranty slip. Don't get the international warranty one...it is considered gray imports by CMM.

Personally speaking, I don't know why they don't honor such a warranty. It the same thing. Probably sales restriction to protect local sales. Maybe CMM's policy.

Remarkably though, I got very good price for my lens at CANON KLCC. The Malay women who works there was the best when it came to bargaining prices. The other 2 guy employees though, kept to the higher prices...

Any chance they will debut this new model at Midvalley's Gadget Fair this weekend? I read from newspaper they will be spread throughout the whole mall. Canon has a large booth too. Try checking it out. Maybe you can land yourself on a pre-order or something. I know Nikon is showing its D60 liao.

Get a used 400D / 30D, den invest more on a good lens. Seriously you'll drop your jaw when you are using a 400D with L lens compared to 40D with kittylens.

Invest more on body, you have less money to get good lens, hence your first few shots gonna be like umm..so this is DSLR.

Invest more on good lens, get a decent body, and you'll whoaaaaa when you see the pictarz.

I dont believe they wont honor International Warranty. For ppl who study or work in Australia for example, surely they will buy in Australia right? So Canon Malaysia wont honor International Warranty for those who bring back from Australia? What about expats too? They bring along a European set or sumthin n Canon Msia dare to deny them International Warranty? I wud think a company of such repute will not dare or want to do such things.

so no 450d yet in MidVally last week rite?
But it will be soon coz Singapore just had an IT SHow also......
I believe Canon tried to clear as much 400D as possible before this baby 450D becomes fully available worldwide!!
I have to be patient and wait for this 450D
but some newbird like me may not be aware of this 450D, i happened to know about this 450D by chance, luck!

I dont believe they wont honor International Warranty. For ppl who study or work in Australia for example, surely they will buy in Australia right? So Canon Malaysia wont honor International Warranty for those who bring back from Australia?  What about expats too? They bring along a European set or sumthin n Canon Msia dare to deny them International Warranty? I wud think a company of such repute will not dare or want to do such things.
*
Yeah thats why. Its a bit stupid though. International Warranty but you don't get it if you're a Malaysian Citizen who didn't buy Malaysian Warranty. The policy is in the warranty slip though. 'Applicable only in Malaysia' or equivalent. I believe they do honor International Warranty for foreigners but I do not know how do they screen for authenticity. I know that they do require proof of purchase and they do screen serial numbers. I guess all products they imported are recorded in terms of their batch serial numbers. So there's a start.

Its actually a form of market protection they implemented though to tackle the gray importers. Believe it or not, Canon products are cheaper elsewhere than in Malaysia due to some form of import barriers the authorities implemented. So Canon Marketing Malaysia must have some form of protection for their sales.

Look through the thread around here, all of them seem to say the same. So its pretty consistent.

Check out ShutterAsia YL Camera section. Sometimes they have very nice used 5D for sale. 100% perfect. But must be fast because they all get gobbled up in lightning speed.

Which IS kit lens? A 17-85mm IS would cost nearly 2K. A 18-55mm IS costs about RM600. I think RM2600 would be the body price or it comes with 18-55 non IS.

Add another 600-800 for 40D but it comes with nothing. To be precise, add another 1K to 2K, depending on which IS kit lens.

I'm also waiting for it. But the International Warranty does not work in Malaysia? Whats the definition of International Warranty then!?

The Price range is 2.6k-3.2k? Just for the body or comes with the lens?

I think launch in early April or end of April. Or not later hopefully not. Sick of waiting.

If adding up another 1K-2k for 40D, i'd suggest just sticking with 450D if under budget.

450D does have one flaw is the ISO range to 100-800. This is what i saw in reviews.

400D/450D is capable up to ISO1600.
There are difference between international warranty and import/grey unit. Items that has proper international warranty will be honoured by Canon Malaysia but warranty from any other country is not entertained by Canon Malaysia.

If I've not mistaken, some lens do come with international warranty card. So far I haven't seen any international warranty cards for body though.

Yes, as stated by mengsuan it is true. Canon Marketing Malaysia's policy is to see the proof of purchase before providing service to your camera. As long as you have proof of purchase for that camera bought in a foreign country, they have no reasons not to deny you service. Thats the definition of International Warranty. Maybe you need to proof that you're not local or a student there and you're back in Malaysia for holiday or something. But that is easily dealt with.

Grey imports are actually the same product brought in from a foreign market and sold to people here. The proof of purchase (receipt) is usually issued by the local stores here. So that is not legitimate. Not against the law, just not in accordance to CMM's policy. CMM's policy are for items imported in by CMM which is usually denoted by a sticker 'Di import oleh Canon Marketing Malaysia' or equivalent.

I just came from asking the pricing for DSLR. Looking for my first. Is 450D really worth the wait over the 400d?

I'm hoping that the prices would drop for the 400d once the 450d is in stores.

Well it's just a couple more weeks. For your first DSLR, it's worth waiting IMO. But expect it to sell like pisang panas. laugh.gif

Added on March 20, 2008, 2:18 pmI've just checked amazon's price for the 450D with 18-55IS kit lens. It costs US$899.99 or equivalent to about Rm2,867. So in malaysia its rm3299?

no free gift..
cheapest for 40D (with the lense) is rm4500 with gift such as tripod, 2gig CF card and a bag if im not mistaken..

ask when will the 450D coming out.. he says roughly about next month..

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

Canon is among the best in noise controlling.

True la. But sometimes, noise is better than dark picture. At least there's a choice.
Not the best now. Coz Nikon seems to be getting better tongue.gif.
Do you want to invest in super high speed SD card if u know
u wanna upgrade to better dSLR tat using CF card in the future?
By the way, seems like the option for ISO 3200 exist in Sony A200 but missing in Pentax K200D and Canon 450D.
Is Sony a better option in low light photography? tongue.gif

i doubt you will want to use iso3200 most of the time. dark picture? exposure is the key

But compare to other competitors, A200 can do, D40x can do. I don't understand why Canon still refuse to do it. Yes, I agree, not all the time we need it, but it is nice to have when we need it. Some might argue we can shoot -1 EV in ISO1600, but that require more post processing.

the 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? laugh.gif Not all case exposure
can fix the dark picture issue.

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?

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.

During the weekend, I happened to stop by the Canon Shop at Curve. I saw they displaying the brochure outside ths shop and suprisingly find 450D selling RM3299 with 18-55mm IS Kit.

Quickly I went into the shop and the first reaction from the shop keeper is "Sorry, you need to pre order this model and we do not have any in stock". I asked him how long do I need to wait and he show me that "I dont think you can effort the camera" type of face and prompt me a funny question

"Are you a photographer?" then I asked "Why?"

"You can only pre order it and get it by next month if you are a photographer. If not, we cant not going to accpet your order."

I was like WTF. So now, we need to get a license and become certified only can buy the camera issit? I walked out of the shop pissed and I wish em luck in their sales. What an A%@ hole.

The main important thing
any word of mouth spread about your rudeness to customer can spread sooner or later
your shop will be blacklist by the customer
may be not many but just imagine potential buyer of 450D of 10 ppl?

For what ever reasons make the shop keeper (or owner) reacted to me on that day only bring one conclusion to me. No matter how cheap they selling, how convinient their store location is or how near is their shop to my place.

I shall never ever again walk into the shop.

No money for 40D  sweat.gif  sweat.gif I'll see if the 450D with 18-55 IS is below 3k. If yes I'll get it, if not i'll get 400d(0.5 frames per second difference only...)  whistling.gif  But then again.. is it worth the extra money? rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

I guess a bit hard to get below 3k with the kit lens you looking for. In fact, I think there is a lot of different between 400D and 450D, eg Digic III, SD memory card, 12.1MP, Metering, Live View....etc. Is worth to wait for a month or two (since I am not a photographer I guess need to wait longer) to get the 450D. Ask all the sifu here weather is worth to wait or not.

hmm. the advice i got from my friends is to buy the 400D, and use the remaining $ to get a better lens. after all, it's the 2 inches behind the camera that's important. a good camera is essential, but the photographer plays a bigger role. anyway, am still waiting for 450D to be realesed, then i'll compare. smile.gif

It is not about got money or not...

All entry level camera including Canon (300D is rubbish in tracking) 350D/400D/450D, Nikon D40/D70/D80 (even D200 is questionable) is not good enought for servo tracking. Any 20D/30D/40D will be better than the entry level. Same thing profesional old 1D mark I, mark II will also better than my new 40D.

You need the right tools to get your pictures. If you have limited budget, then get used 20D or 30D. I think used 20D only RM2k, while used 30D around RM2.6k only.

Anyway, I was suggesting all these based on my understanding you like to shoot horses jumping around... Mid-range camera is the very minimum to do the job cool2.gif

During the weekend, I happened to stop by the Canon Shop at Curve. I saw they displaying the brochure outside ths shop and suprisingly find 450D selling RM3299 with 18-55mm IS Kit.

Quickly I went into the shop and the first reaction from the shop keeper is "Sorry, you need to pre order this model and we do not have any in stock". I asked him how long do I need to wait and he show me that "I dont think you can effort the camera" type of face and prompt me a funny question

"Are you a photographer?" then I asked "Why?"

"You can only pre order it and get it by next month if you are a photographer. If not, we cant not going to accpet your order."

I was like WTF. So now, we need to get a license and become certified only can buy the camera issit? I walked out of the shop pissed and I wish em luck in their sales. What an A%@ hole.

I really hate sales person like that,
it is just a RM3000+ thing. The question is not whether we can afford it or no.
it is whether we are willing to buy a camera for RM3000+.

many ppl can afford 1D MarkIII, the question lies whether he/she willing to spend the money for that.

if i were u, i will straight away asked him back "what is a photographer ? is that a person that holds cameras and take photograph ?
or a person must be making money by taking photograph ? and why u ask me such question ? photographers got special discount ? "

is it a canon authorized reseller shop ?? my friend interested in 450D, I go ask that shop if I happen to be around that area.

If I am that rich, I buy the shop and fire this fellow. Why still want to let him earn the commision for selling the camera.

Any news where else to get 450D? I have been following this since January when I first read this post and it has been almost 2 months now. Anybody get a reply from Canon after emailing them or they are just like all others loussy company Stre... , Di*& which never check their emails?

Would be very curious on how Canon going to price 450D

Canon EOS 400D BODY = around 2k
Canon EOS 40D (body) = around 3.9k
Nikon D40 kit = around 1.7k
Nikon D60 SLR Digital Camera Kit with 18-55mm VR Lens = around 2.3k
Nikon D80 SLR body = around 2.8k
Sony Alpha A200 KIT = around 1.9k
Sony Alpha A350 KIT = around 2.7k


Since Canon can't place them higher than 2.8k (ppl might get D80 or A350)
Then can't be too cheap (cant fight price with D60)
if they do compete on price (price at 2.3k), this would mean killing themself in the long term?
but is good for us, i guess olympus, pentax and sony would join in the price war (Nikon mostly wont join in)

This means if my budget is below 2k, I am left with 400D (which is on sales since Nov2006)
This makes the newer D40 (compare with 400D) or even newer A200 a steal
(for me, newer tech mostly r better as it always means technological advancement)

Without a cheap entry level, i guess Sony would be eating in Canon Market?


Very eager to see how Canon going to price this 450D
guess it will drop 200-300 after 3-4 months, like what happen to 40D?
y on earth would i buy a new camera which the price going to depreciate so fast? doh.gif

Anyway, my search is over. I bought a 40D Kit with 17-85mm IS (AT LAST) yesterday from a shop P.Selangor in Pertama Complex,KL. Bought from a super nice fellow Yusof. So far, he is the only sales person first ever took out the camera from the box, attach the lens and demontrate to me patiently showing me some of the camera's features. He even took out 400D compare with 40D spending close to 1 hour comparing the price and features of the camera and he did not get angry when I say I want to consider and walk out of the shop. He just pass me a piece of paper with a list of the price and his name card tell me if I happen to be interested, give him a call.

Later in the evening, I went back again and finally bought the camera with him. laugh.gif
This post might be a bit out of topic as I still don't know when the 450D will arrive but as for me, I will start reading the camera user manual rclxub.gif and check out what this baby can do for me.....

To the ex-salesperson who I thank him for reminding me I am not a photographer, I somehow got myself a 40D as my first DSLR brows.gif

Strongly disagree LOR. If thats the case, everyone might as well just get 1Ds Mark III??

For those who got poisoned and plan to get DSLR, plan it well and justify which camera is best you. Think hard and think twice on how much you can effort for an camera. Remember, it is not something that you cant live without it. Make sure you are clear with your priority and justify which model best suits you at an effortable price.

Never simply listen to others and end up making the wrong decision cause at the end of the day is not those who thrash you with rubbish suggestion going to suffer. Is it you.

Don't worry, Canon dSLR prices drop quickly while Nikon and Sony won't. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing depends on whether you wanna buy or sell... and when, hehe.

The A100 depreciated on average at RM100 a month. RM3499 retail July 2006 launch, RM2899 street December 2006, RM1999 street when it was 18 months old in January 2008.

When the A200 came out at RM1999 retail it directly obsoleted the 18-month-old A100. The standard product cycle of a dSLR is 18 months.

The A300 and A350 are not the same level as the A200. The Canon 450D replaces the 400D, but the A300 does not replace the A200, the same way the 1Ds MkIII does not replace the 1D MkIII.

The Canon 40D can be had for RM3800 street but it first launched at RM4899 retail. It's about 6 months old.

Canon's product manager (or some big shot) said clearly during his speech that the 450D is not a replacement to 400D. The reason is.....i cant remember....hahah.....

The 450D is "of the same class" as the 400D, namely entry level. However we know from specs that it's got some relevant additions.

I am guessing that the reason he said it does not replace, is so that the previous entry-level model can drop its price and become a budget model. They kept the 350D when the 400D came out for the same reason.

Meanwhile for the A200, it was released AS a budget model; the A300 being a Live View-for budget and the A350 as Live View, entry-level. The A200/300/350/700 were all meant to be sold at the same time to different budgets and requirements... like a 1.3cc, 1.6cc and 1.8cc car model y'know. They're not spaced 18 months apart.

I'm not saying whether Sony power or not... I'm saying, the A300 does not kill and replace the A200 hehe.

The A200, A300 and A350 will probably be killed in 18 months from its release date. By then 3" 640x480 screens and CMOS sensors will be so cheap, and they might have a VIDEO recording function. In 2 years, if you could have an A200 for cheap, you wouldn't want it, right?

Also, the A100 was killed easily because of the weak ISO performance and slow and hunting auto-focus. The current generation of Alphas have all fixed the ISO and AF problems of the A100.

Canon meanwhile let the 350D live while the 400D was out... and let the 400D live when the 450D was out.

Another reason why A100 was killed is that it's more like a Minolta 5D rebadged into Sony (with some tweaks here and there). The other Alphas are more like Sony design.

I don't think that it's that much expensive. It's essentially the same 'class' as A350 (roughly similar MP, live view)... so pricing should be similar.

Lesson of the day? Never buy a new product on it first launch?
On second thought, if you keep wait and wait expect the price to drop or remains at a point where it will never drop again = new product going to launch soon.

Start over the entire cycle again??

if rm3k for body+kit is expensive, then u shouldnt jump into DSLR since the lens can cost few times more than that blush.gif

PO,
dun need to worry, the 450D price will drop soon....since it is new and just launched. after 3-6month price will drop, just depend on how many of us can wait until the price drop.
most properly 400D will not discontinue soon, coz need to fight a market sony A200, and olympus Dslr camera....
Mostly 400D will drop less than RM2000 soon...anyway it is good for us coz we're consumers... rclxms.gif

I would advice you to start learning with the kit lens for a few months first. Then maybe you can try out the 50mm f/1.8 the cheapest prime in the EF family and provides decent bokeh. Maybe a sigma 70-300 APO lens too. Just read around the threads here and I'm sure you'll be able to learn fast. Welcome to the DSLR world anyway!

you should try the lighter one first,its also can be heavy if u pit flash later,40D is more heavier,when you outing,it a bit tired,even for small DSLR...I suggest wait for 450D,getting excited already...

@pinku

I think most major camera shops in KL carries sigma lens. Just go out and do some window shopping.

Yes, all EF mount lens manufactured by sigma can be used by either the 450D or 40D. Well, whether to get the 450D or 40D depends on your budget and usage. If you ever get the 40D, I think that cam can last you for a very long time before you start thinking of an upgrade.

agree with kenlui..
40D last longer.. n beside that.. 40D is in higher class then the 450D..
at ISO 1600, 40D produce less noise then 450D.. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

If im not mistaken, the 85mm f/1.2 L cost Rm5k++.. That lens is a piece of gem.. If you've limited budget, consider the 85mm f/1.8 cost around RM1.3k bokeh is wonderful too.

Depends on what you shoot. If you love travel around and mainly on landscape, super wide and steady tripod stuff, I wound recommend 450D over 40D for the added megapixels count. Other than this, 40D should be the better choice.

I recommend 450D over 40D as I found a number of my friends only use super wide for landscape where they travel for bussiness. One light lense on light body. And they want light weight system. Some more such light system do not require heavy tripod. So everything also very light even including tripod! thumbup.gif

The lense should be priced RM2.4 around like that... Still within your budget.

One note on 17-55/85, the lense offer no interesting perspective, meaning no interesting pictures.

Once you have the super wide, you can see your pictures very special... thumbup.gif

Go for the 40D lor IMO. Lens u can always change later. Once u buy the 450 or 400, u wont have the features n goodness of the 40D n u cannot change anything. If lens u dont like, later can just buy new lens n change. U just put ur hands on a 40D oni u will syiok with the build quality oredi, sure buy 1. brows.gif The 18-55 IS lens ok mar, shud tahan few months until u bekside itchy to buy new lens. brows.gif

Aiya normal lar. Nowadays very popular. See TV/movie also got people with wives but in working place got gf, every country got one diplomatic officer, and some even got actresses. Some also available in separate pieces. Nothing new lar. Personal friend mah. We even got a handful of role models around.

Its about what do you get from your personal friends. TheVOIP, you should start a new thread about 'What do you wish for if your PERSONAL FRIEND would like to get something for you'. tongue.gif

Obviously 40D is much much better compared to 450D. 40D is an intermediate level DSLR whereby 400D is just an entry level DSLR.

As far as I know, the new IS kit lens that comes with the 450D is pretty decent. I think that would be a good start for you.

inner_din: The 18-55 IS kit should be sufficient.

Agree, 450D vs 40D in MP. Sure 40D have a much better QI.

Yup I'll say 450D with higher mp will be "better" than 40D. You'll be needing it to print on all the billboards in petaling jaya! only newbs print in 4r.

Here's a review on 450D from cameralabs.



For those who have to budget, get 40D. Unlike me, my maximum budget can only go until 450D.

There are difference in features but as far as I can observe, the image quality did not improve much.

Which is why, I rather get 400D and invest moar on a good lens e.g. Tammy 17-50mm f2.8 or a Canon 17-40mm f4 L to start with smile.gif
