Canon EOS 450D

Of course, upgrading from a 300D, 350D, 400D the user would have to change battery grip, battery type, and memory format, costing upgraders many more $'s - not a smart move by canon

Also, why did Canon use in lens stabilizers, in body (as used in Pentax and Oly cameras) is much more economic and keeps lens prices down

What makes it the most advanced entry level SLR? Id say they were pretty much all the same by now; The 2mp over the past cameras and the new K200D Isnt much. I guess, it support around 3.4FPS? K200D Uses a pentaprism, has more AF points.

And also with the Samsung GX-20 going to retail at a low price, you could get a much more advanced camera for around $100-200 more The K20D/GX20 will be the camera with the highest MP under £3000

You can only make the comment that its the most advanced entry level SLR when the reviews come out, its high level (800-1600) ISO could be crap, and IQ could be low. Not to mention problems with focussing and metering, which have happened to canon in the past

I agree that a 5D MKII wouldve been a nicer camera for Canon to bring out - a new cheap FF camera is desperately wanted, I'm guessing, by (semi)pros.


Now that was a pretty biased post by me
Hah
But I do believe Pentax took the right road with in body SR; it means all Pentaxs awesssome prime lenses stay cheap, and theyre good zoom lenses stay decent
SR in pentax cameras works about 4 stops, what is it with the in lens SR?

I reckon by the end of the year, Pentax sales will be upto 15% of market share
The combination of Hoya, excellent glass, Pentax, expert camera knowledge, and Samsung, awesome electronics cannot go wrong;
The 3200 ISO of the K20D is comparable to the noise levels of 800 ISO in the K10D - and ISO quality in the K10D, was good too.

Oh and just wait till Pentax release the 645D AND OWNZ JOO ALL
lololol
But seriously, I don't like Canikon that much. All they have over Oly and Pentax is the fact they are the only companies with professional FF DSLRs out - Entry level cameras are all the same these days, there is no arguement there. The reason Pentax have an advantage over other companies is that they have a suspected 50,000,000 different lenses to put on their cameras
