michael j hoffman Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I photograph almost exclusively at ISO 200. I shoot street scenes, at night with flash and during the day without flash. I have a 10D and like the image quality. Will the 450D provide increased image quality (i.e. resolution/sharpness) because it has a higher pixel count? I want a second DSLR. Should I get the new 450D or another 10D (used) for about half the price from KEH? My budget has to remain under $1000 USD.

shambrick007 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The 10D is great, but there have been too many advancements in the last four years not to pass on a new 450. I'd go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambrick007 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I meant to say "to pass on" --> get the 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs1 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 <p>Another low-cost option would be to get <a href="http://www.adorama.com/Refby.tpl?refby=rflAID062012&sku=ICA30DR">a refurbished 30D</a> for about $650.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yinkamd Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 450D is MUCH better than any of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyjo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 450D...no doubt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff_foale Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I was in the same position as you, Michael. After looking around at prices, here in the UK, I came to a different conclusion from everybody who as responded so far. If, like me, you like the feel of your 10D, size, balance, ruggedness, easy to read dials, etc, then get a 40D instead. If you want a smaller lighter camera then go for the 450D. If you find a deal with the Canon cashback offer the price difference is very little. I've just ordered a 40D from a reputable supplier, for GBP 520.00 and I understand that similar prices apply in other countries. This is actually cheaper then the 30D from some outlets. If you can, go to a retail outlet where you can compare the two side by side and decide which suits you best. Then shop around for the best deal.

mr._b Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Get a used 30D. The 450D takes great pictures, but it will feel like a cheap toy compared to what you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tscheung Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 consider the type of batties, type of memo cards, and cable release, etc. compare with 450D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
