450D or 500D

I have 350D and want to upgrade it. So, I want to have a 450D. But, recently 500D just released. So I have a little confused which one product I really need. I prefer the best quality pictures and friendly user. Can u help me? And one thing...my friend suggest me to use Nikon. And of course i wonder why so many pro photographer use Nikon. which one the best??

Thank you for the answer. I's very helpful.

Please reconsider Nikon's excellent quality lenses...?

It is a known fact that the best DSLR lenses are Zuikos (OLYMPUS) then it is highly arguable the second winner for personal taste.For me Canon four lenses are especially unique at photographers mostly used range ( Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM,Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, Canon EF 100 mm f/2.0 USM, ,Canon EF 16–35mm f/2.8L II USM AF ) They are all affordable ,durable,fluorid based lightweight superior quality lenses.) Sigma lenses will get the head then.(Tamron also produces some sorts of best zooms) Nikon Top quality lenses for NASA not for Photographers..Nikon Dslr lenses are bulky, mid-high range quality (some of them also top class) and not so durable and very very expensive..

Nikon catches up with Canon with latest apsc sizes bodies (D300) and full frames (D700 and D3x) which beats Megapixel/iso war with the help of Sony and managed to overcome the iso/noise problem. Now Nikon systems produces the best available output (slightly surpasses Canons full frames) with ultra price tags. I do not see rationality to give $7,999 for D3x body for its ultimate output because I willget nearly same quality (I prefer silky-smooth non electonic style) with 5D Mark II for just $2,800 with HD


Most pros use Nikon because its durable bodies (kelvar shutter mechanism and sealed alloy etc) which means nothing for me because I am the one who always says Lenses are first.. and also Nikon menu system gives ultra sophisticated controls over image parameters that ensures to feel PRO. Most of the Pros I know can not endure to see its lovely machine in the hands of publicity.This possiblity is the barrier between Canon and Pros.

Buddy go get 450D..It is the benchmark body for Aps-c sensors and get the best glass you can afford from above.The Happiness will be Yours...

Maybe someone might say my lenses are not ''affordable'' as I claim. But do not forget lenses are first priority in my photographic view and those I mentioned are some of the ultra superior quality glass from Canon and their price tags are also similar or just above other brands ones.(espacially Zuikos) They all can be used lifetime and this is the return your investment. Maybe your son will get the your gears as long as you look at them carefully and the brand system maintains.Buy best glass of two at least.And do no forget Canon has alternatives for nearly free like Canon EF 50mm f/1.8, EF-S 55-200mm etc...

My choice of Canon system/lenses is based on their flouride choice in making glass (UD elements/Image stabilser systems/USM etc) and also their balanced body productions with low cost bodies (d u know any one use any body more than 5-6 years ?) / best usage of optics potentials via CMOS sensors. I am not a fan of a brand just try to be objective as possible. Invest your money less to body more to lenses. So the optimum/best result you will get with limited money among brands is from Canon (You will also consider Pentax if they develops better sensors/image engines )

Yes if You have a lot of money and knowledge to show off ,then go get Nikon system .It is a sure thing you will be happy elite.But all above is a matter of style and choice in the end.

Best gears alone never makes good photographer but right gears do help to be a good one...

Really great review. This is really very helpful for the new photographers like us.
