    Well they’re doing …
    Well they’re doing a good job if you’d want to sell your pro nikon gear for a budget model in their range! Yep, the remote software is the same across all current Canon DSLRs.

    i am actually quite impressed with this camera, and i am a nikon buff. but i do not think it is good enough to make me sell my D300 and D2h and thousands of dollars in lenses to switch to the dark side ;]

    ***Question to CameraLabs;
    on the Canon 40D and the new 50D, does it come with the same camera control from a PC software?
    thanks-

    Maybe your shutter …
    Maybe your shutter speed wasn’t fast enough - should be over 1/250 to maintain the fastest rate - or maybe you were autofocusing between frames. Maybe you were applying additional processing in-camera or shooting at a very high ISO. There’s lots of things which can slow it down. 3.5fps is a theoretical maximum under best conditions.

    Hey, no worries! It depends if you want or need the extra features of the 450D / XSi. I’ve compared them both in the verdict page of my 1000D / XS review at cameralabs . com…

    Nevermind, I should have read the other comments first. It seems as if you have already answered my exact question several times over… But still, if you care to take a stab at it, go right ahead.

    Kudos! I am looking at buying my first dSLR and came across your videos. You do a great job at reviewing the budget dSLR’s for what they are and not for what they aren’t.

    I figure you may roll your eyes at this kind of question but do you think someone like myself would be better off with the XSi or saving the extra cash and just picking up the XS? I am going to be buying one or the other and I just dont know if I would be missing out or buying more than I would need or use.

    Well, they’re quite differetn cameras in style and features, but I’ve compared them in the verdict page of my Nikon D90 review at cameralabs . com… the D90 is more expensive, but its faster 4.5fps may be more useful to you…

    Canon doesn’t use the shutter half-press to AF in Live View. It will only AF in Live Vire, regardless of the mode, when you press the Star button in the top right corner. There’s a full guide in the manual.

    Live View isn’t uselss if you have an application for it - see my Canon 40D astrophotography video - the same technique works on all the Canon models with LV.

    This camera is HORRIBLE people. Serious focus and color issues especially on full auto, my focus lens came loose inside the body for no reason too. Not to mention that the AF is as lame as a retarded goose. Everything above 400 ISO is a noise fest, even in the darkest settings. Sent it in with repair warranty and came back with the same issues.
