So which one its gonna be? Mmmm...?

During last Ramadhan, I had this oppurtunity to go to Mr.Gembo's house with my wife and Muhammad. Well actually, earlier that day, I asked him about several SLR camera that he could recommend for an absolute beginner like myself. So in the end, he invited us all to his house instead for a first hand experience to the world of SLR camera.
Long story short, Mr.Gembo introduced me to his Canon 450D and I was amazed with the result. Well you can see it for yourself. In my own words, the quality, detail, colour, and contrast, everything was just perfect. This was only some of the pics taken by him. The one that I have, not as good as his but I can assured you that the quality of the pics that I took from his Canon 450D are much better than my Sony Cybershots.
After making few research here and there, then asking to those who have the experience about SLR camera, in the end I was left with either to buy Canon 1000D or Canon 450D. So my questions are, When, Where and Which to buy? Any help guys? Hehehehe...

A friend of mine, Saifol, had recently bought this Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 digital still camera with a price of around BND$8++. This SLR-like camera features a 27mm wide-angle Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with an 18x optical zoom.
The FZ28 also boasts with 10.1-megapixel resolution and adds a number of enhanced features that boost user fun and convenience, represented by an advanced iA (Intelligent Auto) mode.


In the other hand, Saifol also told me that Shamri owned the successor to the 300D, the new, smaller, 8 megapixel, EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT). Not bad man ;)


For EOS 1000D depending from which angle you look at it, this model is either a stripped down 450D or a 'reheated' 400D. It have a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.5 in LCD monitor, 7-point AF system and no spot-metering (like the 400D) but gaining Live View with both phase- and contrast-detect AF, SD/SDHC for storage and a control and menu layout that is pretty much identical to the EOS 450D's. In fact, because it's based around the same Digic III processor, it shares an interface with almost every current Canon DSLR all the way up to the 1DsMkIII.


Last but not least, Canon EOS 450D, have 12 megapixel in a smaller body with a far wider range of functionality and features. Comes with a larger 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both passive and contrast detect AF, Spot metering, improved auto-focus, 3.5 fps continuous shooting a larger viewfinder and a switch SD/SDHC for storage (all previous cameras in this range were Compact Flash). Other features appear to be inherited from the EOS 40D; 14-bit image pipeline, Highlight Tone priority, optional High ISO noise reduction, 'My Menu' and display of the ISO sensitivity on the viewfinder status line. There's also the new stabilized kit lens.
I also just knew that here in Brunei, we refer to the EOS 450D by its European name; if you live in other parts of the world you'll know the camera by (in order of silliness) Rebel XSi or Kiss X2 Digital, but they're all the same actually.
