“We found no evidence of coloured fringing in test shots in bright, contrasty conditions and only a suggestion of edge and corner softening. Slight barrel distortion was observed with the 18mm setting but it was no longer evident at 24mm. Pincushion distortion was not observed.”
“Instead Canon’s keeping the 400D / XTi on as its entry-level DSLR, and slotting the new 450D / XSi between it and the semi-pro EOS 40D – at least for the time-being anyway. And if you’re looking at the 450D / XSi because it’s classier than most entry-level DSLRs, it’s well worth keeping a close eye on any rebates which could make the superior 40D more affordable than you’d think.”
