Dpreveiw.com has just reviewed the new The Canon Powershot SD450 the latest addition in the ever growing Canon family. An upgrade to the SD 400 the D450 has some great add ons.With a well designed control- layout making it extremely user friendly it has the making of a great Point and Shoot Camera. But just like all accessible cameras this one also falls short on certain features like a weak battery and a low resolution. Another disappointment is the viewfinder which is impossibly small .However the camera is solid despite its build and one doesn’t have to worry about camera shakes.

Delving into the features of the Canon SD450 further one finds a 5.0 megapixel CCD with a rich 2.5-inch color TFT monitor. With features like macro/infinity focus, flash mode, metering pattern, drive mode, self timer it is true Point and Shoot digicam. It also has a My Color feature which is great navigation tool for the user and seven special scene modes. It has a built in flash and the regular l red eye reduction feature too. The 3x zoom covers a range equal too 35-100 mm which is more than enough for the average Joe. however the aperture at f9 does disappoint a bit. Though a dedicated ISO button is a treat to photography nuts.

Dpreview.com concludes that “Tokokhe SD450, like the SD400 before it, is a fast, easy to use, well-specified camera that can genuinely claim to be pocket-sized, and it produces images that - whilst by no means perfect - are sharp, clean and colorful, and it does so with the minimum fuss. On the downside, the problems we encountered when testing the SD400 - fringing, edge softness, poor battery life - haven't been fixed, and I honestly can't see why Canon won't put the shutter speed on the screen all the time, not just when it's slow enough to worry about camera shake. at the end of the day everything that made the SD400 so attractive as a package is also true for the SD450 - and then some. It's a beautifully made and reliable point-and-shooter that is easy and fun to use, and one that produces surprisingly good results where it counts, and one that - even with the niggles mentioned above - is perfectly designed to satisfy its target market. And so, despite the tougher competition, the SD450 retains its Recommended tag, albeit with more reservations than the rating given to the SD400.”
