Yep, I just didn't resist. I was like a child in front of cake shop. :lol:
Now I'll must delay planned new faster and stronger PC for about half year. I'll need it to process increasing amount of image data.
Well, there is a bunch of small improvements, nothing dramatic but it can please you. It would not be mistake to skip one generation and wait to next year camera. (But I didn't! :oops: )
My first impressions?
Better handling - better comfortable hand grip.
Bigger and brighter viewfinder as well as LCD screen with more information.
I have a feeling that focusing is more accurate and faster. (Even in low light.)
A slightly better control of noise I think and a little more details (I can see now some fine hairs on miniature 2mm spider abdomen which I didn't before) if I'm not wrong.
It looks that JPEG-s are much heavier than 20% (from 10 to 12 mp).
A little more room for cropping, also.
And old memory cards and batteries doesn't fit which is not nice of them! :shock:
Meanwhile I got damage on my PC (Mainboard failure) and I'm working now on my laptop which is less comfortable. :roll:

This thing has my table manners in the first image. Just don't get too close to me though or I growl. Never bitten anyone but I have snapped at a few. To tell the truth, I like the 400D better I think but this is just my first impression after having seen the results of the XSi :-k

Very nice and kinda cute to see them at this stage. One of my favourite subjects BTW, great behaviour shots and a good ratio.

Thats also a nice mini review of the 450D from a darn good macro user. Thats a bonus and great to see. :wink: I read about the new view finder, but its good to see you mention it as well. Thanks for that.

All the best and nice work and shots. :D

Danny.
Worry about the image that comes out of the box, rather than the box itself.
