The EOS 450D, known in the Americas as the EOS Rebel XSi and in Japan as the EOS Kiss X2, is a 12.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera that is part of the Canon EOS line of cameras. It is the successor to the EOS 400D/Digital Rebel XTi. It was announced on 23 January 2008 and released in March 2008 and April 2008 in North America. It was succeeded by the Canon EOS 500D (Rebel T1i in North America) which was announced on 25 March 2009.
Like its predecessors, it takes EF and EF-S lenses as well as a large selection of EOS system accessories. The 450D is the first Canon EOS model to exclusively use SD and SDHC card storage instead of CompactFlash.
