Thinking about returning my Nikon D5000 for a Canon 450D?
I bought the Nikon D5000 Costco yesterday with a lens of about 679 pounds. But I am finding it very expensive because now I have to buy lenses. There is a return policy of 90 days. I want to go for the 450D, as you can get a 10% discount £ 495 and then I'll be able buy glasses. Is it similar to the Nikon D5000?
Heyy. I'm no professional (Sony A350). But I looked at both. The Canon 450D is a fantastic camera for those who are worried about noise control. Again, the 450D meets at higher levels in the EOS range of noise control. Another thing is that Canon redesigned their interface GUI control of noise with this camera. It is also small and light, handles very well and has some great features for use. What camera digital gave the following scores: Design-18/20 image Quality-18/20 Performance-17/20 Value-17/20 (Although, this was when it cost nearly £ 600) Features-19/20 Without But the 450D is not perfect. He almost lost in a Gold Award What digital camera (89% of overall score). JPEG quality is not very big, has a ISO range limited seemilngly, A mirror of noise and AF on the lens kit is not great either. For more information on the 450D, and (soon) Nikon D5000, go to www.whatdigitalcamera.com The D5000 includes a mode of high-definition video, ideal for people who are not just for the picture. Despite the widely shared the same technology as the D90 (which earned 91%) think this is even better, however, with a bigger price tag, you can expect about the same score. The choice is yours. It is a choice of either now, or the great evening. You can still use your D5000 now have to wait a while for new lenses however. I only have two, and I earn almost nothing (yes, spending money for when you're 15) but I get along. 
Hope this helps.
