Q. I Have About £1000 Pounds To Spend.
This includes money for the tripod, etc.
I have been mainly focused on two camera's -
Canon EOS 40D, and the Canon EOS 450.
Which one, would you buy, and if possible, why?
But if neither of these are THAT great, could you tell me something else i could consider, of any make -
for my first ever DSLR (i'm making the big break! :D )
and ten points galore then.
MERCI!

Answer
There is no doubt that Canon and Nikon make fine cameras. However, I believe that when considering such a major purchase one should look at all the possibilities.
Although a relative newcomer to the DSLR field, Sony is building on solid technology bought from Konica-Minolta when that company exited the camera business. Since the introduction of the A100 and A700 in 2006 Sony has improved the technology and features to produce the A200, A300 and A350. All Sony cameras differ from Nikon and Canon in one major way - Sony has their version of Image Stabilization - Super Steady Shot - in the camera body. Canon and Nikon have their versions in their longer focal length lenses. Since the IS is in the lens you have to pay for it with every lens. With IS in the camera body, every lens used will have its benefit. Yes, there is evidence that IS in the lens is slightly more effective. However, if you'd like to see how in-camera IS affects pictures taken with a shorter focal length lens, go to http://www.shutterbug.com and type 'maxxum 5d' in the Search box. You'll pull up a test report of this Sony DSLR ancestor from the Feb. 2006 issue. Read it, look at the sample pictures, and decide for yourself.
The Sony A300 & A350 both feature Live View which actually works with the autofocus. Although some may imagine a person trying to use Live View to compose a picture instead of using the viewfinder (I seriously doubt anyone would even think about trying to hold a DSLR at arm's length like a digicam), that's not its main function. Its usefulness comes into play when you're in a crowd and have no choice but to hold the camera over your head to get a picture. Just flip the screen down, compose, check focus and shoot. Its also useful when using the camera at ground level - just flip the screen up.
You may hear that Nikon and Canon have a wider lens line than Sony. That's not completely true. The Sony DSLR cameras can use every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. Sony also has a Carl Zeiss "ZA" line of lenses. Most all of the accessories for the late, lamented Maxxum 5D & 7D are compatible with the Sony.
While you're comparing cameras, features and benefits, take a look at the Pentax DSLR line.

Digital SLR camera, to buy or not to buy?

I am in the market for a digital SLR camera and trying to decide between the Cannon rebel XT or the Olympus E420
Answer
Either camera has its pluses and minuses. If they were the only two choices I'd vote for the Canon even though its an older model.
Depending on your budget, you might want to take a look at the Sony A300. Sony has their version of image stabilization in the camera body, unlike Canon which uses a lens-based system. With the A300 every lens used will have the benefit of stabilization. With Canon you pay for it with every lens. The A300 also features real-time Live View which actually works with the auto focus - its more than just a preview/review. Suppose you're in a crowd and have to hold the camera over your head to take a picture. Flip the screen down, compose, check focus and shoot. Or, if you're shooting at ground level, flip the screen up, etc.
Someone will likely tell you that Canon and Nikon have a larger lens selection. That's not entirely accurate. The A300 (as can any Sony DSLR) can use every legacy Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. I rather doubt you'll ever need a lens that isn't available. You also have access to the Carl Zeiss "ZA" lenses Sony offers.
Happy shopping!
