which is better the canon eos 450D or the sony alpha a350? - Elliot R i am getting a camera for my birthday and im getting one of these i just dont know which one is better im into landscape portrait and micro no moving stuff really thanks

Best Answer: A350's live-view system is better, which makes life easier, but the hot shoe is really wierd so that makes lighting hard for portrait and macro. Canon's are know for their speed, and the CMOS sensor. Canon's system also offers a much wider range of choice, including the cheapest 50mm f1.8 lens which is the most fundamental portrait lens. Also Canon has some more unusual offerings in the lens department, including the TS-E lenses with are great for architectural photography, and the MP-E 60mm which is a true macro lens, similar to the Hartblei Superotator lenses. Finally Canon uses a conventional hot shoe, which allows a much wider range of accessories to be slotted in. So which camera? Well depends on your past experience. If you're new to the SLR world and are a relative beginner the Sony is the easier to use. The Canon system however offers the more advanced shooter the tools he or she needs. - CiaoChao

From the review tests below, you can see that the 450D is the better performer, particularly with RAW shooting and higher ISOs (800 and 1600). http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos450d/page32.asp http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos450d/page29.asp I recommend the 450D with the EF50 mm f/1.8 (for portaits and low light) or for macro, the EF100 mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. - Petra_au

Canon is better brand in DSLR camera and canon eos 450D is a great camera to get http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00131W8IW?ie=UTF8&tag=computer09-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00131W8IW - ArC

I'd say the alpha. I have the A300 and its such a great beginners camera. SO easy to get to grips with but doesnt compromise on quality. x - Stacey M
