I have a D300 and I see your 450D as extremely sucky.
Moral of this reply - There is alway something better out there, if not now, there will be one in the future.
hello dude, the D300 cannot be compared to 450D that'll be picking on somethin which is not its size
conversely, the D60 will be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY sucky compared to the EOS 5D right?
Lets make this comparison on a fair-and-square basis ok and stop comparing bigger and apparently more powerful cameras to smaller ones
ok, so, by "fair comparison",
Canon Nikon
High end 1D pwns D3
Mid range 5D loses out by a little to D300
Consumer 40D owns D80
Entry level 450D thrashes D60
400D beats D40x
350D defeats D40
Even though 350D is SO OLD like 3 years since its release it has 7 autofocus points 8 mp and 2.8 fps vs the D40 which is supposedly "newer" features an "impressive" 3 AF points and an "amazing" 6 megapixels and a relatively "lightning quick" 2.5 fps eventhough its x-sync of 1/500 of a second is pretty amazing and the fastest among all DSLRs i have to admit
and........
Even though the D60 is released more than a year later than 400D, the 400D is on par with it if not better than the D60 with 9 af points compared to 3, even though D60 has high ISO of 3200 compared to 1600
AND.....
when the 1000D comes out with LIVE VIEW and 3fps shooting up to 514
:think:
Jpeg frames........it will own all other consumer level Dslrs on the market...
Now, how about that?
GET THE BIG PICTURE?!
P.S. pity newbies who get D40/D40x/D60 at this point in time without thinking.....just a month or two later they will be knocking their heads against the wall and screaming when the 1000D is released (like me......i got my D60 a week before release of 450D, and my jaw just dropped man 12.2 mp live view 3.5fps shooting DIGIC 3 processor 9 af points luckily managed to sell my D60 fast enough)
P.S. To: max evolution really very sorry man......i meant that as a joke dude......i failed maths before......:embrass:
P.S. Whether a camera sucks or not, its relative.....of cos the 450D sucks compared to the 1D......haha......but its the best of its class isnt it?

STILL A VERY EXTREMELY INCREDIBLY IMMENSELY PROUD owner of the 450D which currently is the undisputed pwning CONSUMER LEVEL DSLR on the market :lovegrin:
