A Versatile Camera
I was using a Canon G9 , a most excellent camera , but treated my self to an EOS 450D for my 81st birthday . Deivery was prompt , the packaging very thorough , and after only a couple of weeks I'm finding the new camera a delight to use and the results and versatility of the camera most impressive . The 55 - 250 lens in particular is excellent . Like any complex equipment it needs a little care and skill to get the best out of it , but the best is very good indeed . Recommended .

An excellent camera!
My previous camera was a Canon Ixus 850. This was my first 'proper' camera. I undertake a LOT of research before going for this camera. I wanted soemthing that would last for many years, be 'easy' to use but have a lot of functionality I could learn and develop my knowledge of what it can do. I have been very impressed so far!
- seems to be solidly built.
- the ease of use was achieved but already I am seeing how I can go more 'manual' and produce even better pictures.
- the battery and SD card compartments are solidly built which is great to see

I would recemmend you get the Dummies Guide to the camera. The manual with the camera itself is rather limited - which is real shame.

Since buying the camera I have bought the same as a present.

If you want a good, £600 camera then get this. I would certainly recommend getting the 200mm lens - makes a huge difference.

Great camera... but shop around!
Currently on Amazon for £839 with the double zoom kit, just seen this same camera with the same lens kit (Canon lenses) on Argos for £636. At this time out of stock for delivery, but no surprise at that price.
