DING!!

Time to sell my ..  almost never used 40D la..

Surprise .. no 5D II   ( or 3D or 7D )  so .. Canon really concern the market share in Japan that much ??

Awesome feature in this 450D .. huge step over 400D/350D

Time for Sony ..  Oly ..  Pan  to give up on DSLR ??

echo

450D 真係幾正.

Yeah... feature wise, It's on par or even better than the 30D. Dang... my 30D is only 9 months old... @_@

轉用SDHC, 咁o的CF點算??

It .. is .. NO sense to me .  we all expect the new 5DII ( or whatever .. )   

But it is good news for 5D user like me too .. for 1.5 yr, the 5D is so far so good ..  

May be because of the D3 ..  Canon needs to re work in the 5D replacement ..  and that means we won't see 5D replacement till ..  sept the soonest??

400D is already good .. and very new ..  450D so soon .. and it kicks ass ...  there is no real competition for 400D ..  it is already better then .. say D40x ..  

Why why why ...  

I guess ..  making money and market share is the first thing from Canada ..

the 450D is a entry level DSLR. The target market is those who have used a prosumer point and shoot. Their target market should already have SD cards, so  it's one less barrier for those people to upgrade to a DSLR.

In canon's mind, if you have been using XT or XTi, they want you to upgrade to a 40D.

is nikon's press release out yet? we'd never know... maybe just like last time, nikon will release something that take all the spot lights away from canon.

double post...

40D steep price drop please.................

Canon... dunno wut it's doing at all...... only shows that 40D release was too weak. 1 series filled with bugs and delays, mid range much weaker than Nikon. Low range much more expensive than Nikon.........

So next camera for me..... Fuji F100fd!!

I am starting to imagine in the next year, people will be holding up these baby SLR and take all pictures with the LCD screen using contrast detect focus...
