hahaha buddy I don't know who you think your trying to kid here...honestly...if these Pentax's were half as good as you said they were, don't you think the market would have realised this a while ago, and most of the professionals would have switched over? Come on, honestly...give it up...you've bought a second rate camera....stop trying to compare a Datsun to a Ferrari...

Boeing to an Airbus maybe?? :p :o :p

It's like comparing garbage collectors to doctors.

How about comparing the Canon 450D and the Sony Alpha350?

Please spare the usual overwhelming Canon bias, just rational pro's and con's please.

i just purchased my Canon 450D yesterday.

haven't used it for Aviation Photography yet, but at the moment, for the night photography and muck around shots i have taken just to get a handle on it, i am IMPRESSED !

it has definatly made the change from film to digital Very easy.

The 450D is a weighty unit with out being too heavy and has a good size unlike the 400D which is too small and light for my liking.

3 inch screen in fantastic nice and big and bright, live the fact that it shows all settings on the big screen, or you can op to have a live image.

Shutter speeds from 30min to 1/4000. Fantastic Quality from ISO 100 to 1600 (with very little noise at ISO 1600).

So far i am VERY happy with the 450D, definatly a great camera for the switch from Film to Digital !

For some of you who doubt the quality of pentax, here is the opinion of a person who has used both and his thoughts....
