Digital SLR Camera

The Canon EOS 1000D is the perfect D-SLR camera for anyone looking to get creative with photography. It lets you carry on shooting wherever you are, from dark interiors to evenings spent outdoors. Capturing the vibrancy on a street, or once-in-a-lifetime holiday shots, is made easy by the camera’s ability to shoot at up to 3 frames per second. Plus, for shots of kids or friends at a party, the wide area auto focus system has 7 separate points to capture their most active moments.

With a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor and technology inherited from Canon’s professional models, the EOS 1000D offers EOS imaging power in an affordable, easy-to-use package.

The EOS 1000D’s bright 2.5” LCD screen rewards instantly with a detailed review of every shot, which can be shared with friends thanks to a wide viewing angle. With Live View mode, the screen can even be used to compose shots, or to easily auto focus in the style of a digital compact camera. And for total shooting flexibility, the EOS 1000D is compatible with Canon’s range of lenses and EX-series Speedlite flashes – the broadest in the world.

NEW YORK, March 12, 2008, Reuters has teamed up with Canon U.S.A., Inc. and Sprint to develop a system that captures shuttle launch images from multiple remote cameras moments after they are taken and quickly retrieves and moves images across the Reuters wire, thus reducing the time it takes for wire transmission by 95 percent.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese camera and office equipment maker Canon Inc said it would pay $403 million for a quarter stake in Hitachi Ltd’s LCD panel business to get its own supply of parts for its cameras and copiers. Canon and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. agreed in December to buy 24.9 percent each of the LCD panel maker, Hitachi Displays, now wholly owned by Hitachi. Canon, the world’s largest maker of digital cameras, currently has to buy LCD panels for its cameras, camcorders, copiers and printers.

Wednesday’s announcement of the price Canon will pay is the latest in a flurry of alliances in Japan’s LCD panel and flat TV industry as companies seek ways to share hefty investment bills and hedge against the risk of oversupply. Canon wants to eventually buy Hitachi Displays stakes from Matsushita, the maker of Panasonic products, and Hitachi Ltd to make it a subsidiary. Matsushita has so far not revealed the purchase for its quarter.

The Canon Rebel XSi is also known as “Canon 450D”. A friend of mine is asking an opinion about the latest model of digital SLR camera. He would like to change from the PNS camera to digital SLR camera. The reason is he want to capture a better photo.

As i mention before, it is not the camera itself to create a good photo but it more on what is your discipline toward photography style i.e portrait, sport, landscape, macro etc. That is why most people buying the digital SLR camera at last do not fully utilize the function of the camera. It is a big wasted for the money. I am not going to discuss further about that since i already post the article “how to choose Digital SLR Camera” previously.

To ease all the loyal reader of my blog about this canon brand. I had tabulated the summary as for comparison on specification for both camera for your review. This is specially dedicated to Canon fans :

The only way to capture photo on DLSR camera you have to look through the viewfinder. But, the CANON XSi has came together with LIVE VIEW !!! What a wonderful of innovation. So,you may not worry to capture photo whether at your knee level or over the head.
