Answer
Here in Canada, a reasonably good camera for about that price (this is in Canadian Dollars and before taxes) would be the Sony Cybershot DSCW30. If you're in America or elsewhere in the world, that camera will cost even less and there may be other models that are inside that range. However, if you want the absolute best, Canon unfortunately will be your best bet (I only say unfortunately because you request not Canon in the question)

Should I buy a CANON 450d digital SLR camera NOW or after Xmas?

I am thinking about buying a CANON 450d digital SLR camera with the standard 18-35mm Lens. I need to know a few things:

1. Should I buy it NOW (£438 lowest price I've found in UK) OR wait till after Xmas (Sales)?
2. Would any Sale Price be likely to be significantly lower £100? or just £20-30? Maybe somone has experience of purchasing in yearly sales.
3. Will the Canon 450d be likely to be superseeded in next few months with a more powerful similar camera? Thus should I wait for a new model? Any news on the grapelines about new Canon models (especially maybe cameras with more than 12.2 Megapixels in the £500-700 range?

I am a Graphic Designer and need to purchase the best camera I can in the £500-700 range that will give me the Highest Image Resolutions for High Quality PRINTED images for Brochures/Posters.

I cant afford a Medium Format Professional Camera (20 Megapixels+) and just wonder if any new Canon/Other models are due out soon?

Many, many thanks for any help!!!



Answer
1. If your boxing day sale are anything like they are in Canada I'd probably wait.
2. I know with your VAT prices aren't very comparable between here and there. Here I would expect the price to be around $75 cheaper on boxing day but I don't know if that would be the case there.
3. The XSi (450D) is about 9 months old. Canon tends to upgrade its line every 18 months. If you want to wait for the next iteration of the camera you're going to have to wait at least 9 more months.

To be honest the 450D shouldn't be bad for what you're doing. If you're careful and take your pictures in-focus you should be able to use them for all brochures and all but the largest posters. If there comes a situation where you've been commissioned to do a large poster you could simply rent a high-end Canon camera for a day or two.
