Perhaps in the past Canon/Nikon had the market almost all to themselves but these days the list of competitors ready to bring out quality models is growing.

The K20D body would trump the 450D in my opinion but as I said, just need Pentax to hurry up with their lens releases.
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...

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 !
