these may seem like weird question to hardened photographers reading this but can anyone answer these questions on the 450D:

1) is it possible to power the camera via usb?

2) can the battery be charged by plugging the camera into USB.

3) and can the camera act as a "webcam" by pluging it into a PC?

[epzmatt]

No to all three. :)

good review would you call this a big dslr

[epzmatt]

No, i think you're safe, it's pretty small.

Not a bad review, Try wearing a white/light coloured shirt next time so we can actually see the camera :)

How else can I give a verbal review?

Can the Canon 450D record video?

[MrPatchyPatch]

this is a fantastic camera....and it does focus in live view...hold down the zoom out button...the box in your live view will turn green when its done focusing.

The camera does have auto focus in live view you just have to hold the shutter button down abit longer than normal and it will focus where ever that little white square is that will come up green when its focused, I know this from having one before i upgraded to the 7D

Also if you are just getting into using a DSLR learn to shoot in manual this will allow you to get more involved with your camera and also allow you to get more creative with your photography and remember go out there and have fun

Great review. Bought one 2 months ago, great camera for our first and possibly for more advanced photographers...

@epzmatt #3 can be done via the canon ed-sdk

Hi Matt,

at 7:30 you state that the 450D Doesn't have a focus whilst in Live View Mode. This is untrue. If you hold down the Zoom Out button on the top right of the camera whilst in Live view mode then the camera will focus on whatever is in the centre of the view finder box & this will then turn green & beep to let you know it is fully focused.

Hope This helps fellow 450D owners.
