I've been looking at getting a new digi SLR for my bday.
I have no aspirations of becoming a pro photog, so I hardly need to spend the big bucks on kit like most of you have.
I have been looking at a comparison table to compare the Canon EOS 1000D (the budget beginner's camera), the 450D and the 40D.
Now I can't see why I would pay out more for the last two when the 1000D seems to be able to do all the others can. The only major differences I can see is the other 2 can do slightly more frames per second and have a slightly higher pixel count.
Then I notice the more expensive 40D has less pixels than the cheaper 450D and the same as the budget 1000D.
I'm confused a bit, so can anyone shed some light on why the 1000D shouldn't be for me?
