Thanks guys,
I guess I was lucky to get the 450D early. I really lucky find.
I'm pretty sure that if you pre-ordered the 450D you should have the camera already.
Anyway, I was just outside with the camera and took a few practise shots.
All images are straight out of the camera using the 18-55mm lens. The images have been cropped, reduced and compressed for the web.
1. 30 second exposure at ISO1600.
2. 5 second exposure at ISO800.
3. 15 second exposure at ISO1600.
