Canon Rebel XSi 450D DSLR Camera Unboxing
May 8, 2009 | In: Digital Cameras
Well, we finally took the plunge and got ourselves a nice new digital SLR camera. We know we’re a little bit behind the times, but better late than never, right? We chose the base level Canon Rebel XSi 450D for our purposes and have not been let down yet.
First impressions of the 12.2-megapixel DSLR are quite positive, especially with the Live View Shooting option which allows you to view your subjects via LCD monitor rather than relying on the viewfinder, but this function is only available using one of the five ‘Creative Zone’ modes so be prepared for that. I mean, who even remembers how to use a viewfinder anyway?
With an extra large 3.0-inch LCD display you will always be able to see what you’re taking a shot of and how well it turned out. The wide angle is perfect for capturing low-light situations if you’re like us and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a flash.
The DIGIC III image processor is fast and accurate, and leaves nothing to be desired. With the XSi you will also enjoy improved autofocus as well as framing rate, which is a bonus over previous base level digital SLR Canons.
All in all, it’s a great piece of machinery that comes complete with a separate Spanish language instruction manual.
