Well, the first impression for me wasn’t very nice at all. One thing I was thinking was - God damn it’s hudge! And till now i have been using only compact digital camers like eg. Nikon Coolpix L1, so imagine how was I confused while seeing Canon for the first time.
The thing is I really like photography and some people even say I’m good at that.. 
I also believe that if you want to take really nice picture, you have to find a perfect place at the perect time. And this is much easier with a small compact digital camera than hudge digital SLR… Besides, I like having my camera always with me and that’s starting to be really difficult with the Canon EOS.. Please take a look at the dimentions and the weight(!) below:
Dimentions: 129 x 98 x 62 mm (5.1 x 3.9 x 2.4 in)
Weight (no battery): 475 g (1.0 lb)
Also you can find the full specyfication of Canon EOS 450D Of course besides the weight and the dimentions, other parameters are REALLY IMPRESSING and it’s really worth reading the full review, before making final opinion..
Anyway, my point always was you can easily take great photos with small compact cameras.. As you can see I have just wrote WAS.. Yeap it took me only two or three days to totally change my mind! And to be honest the size and weight of the camera really don’t bother you when photos are so fu**** fantastic! Besides there is so much fun with setting the perfect settings for each photo.. nothing like a compact cameras!!
To sum up Canon EOS 450D is a perfect example of digital SLR for everyone who really loves taking photos, you just need a day or two with it.. In the next post I’ll try to show you few examples but I really need to choose some that you would appreciate and resize.. A LITTLE :))
Update: Below You can find a little preview of what can You do with EOS 450D and things you’re using every day 
The photo is not perfect for sure - there are just to many options and settings, besides this photo was taken on the first day of my adventure with Canon.
The closing option in Canon is very powerfull, and when added matching ligthning, you can really catch nice cadr. Anyway, judge by Yourself. Please also remember that photos are much smaller now, than when they were taken (2056px x 3088px), so the quality is a little worse, but still good enought…

Nice blog, I was performing some net browsing and happened onto your blog, I was wondering if you knew your website is rendering strangely in the K-mellon browser. I will see most of it but the graphics are one way or another out of whack. In all probability not a massive issue since basically no one uses it any longer but I am old school and still use it.
