The EOS 450D, known in the Americas as the EOS Rebel XSi and in Japan as the EOS Kiss X2,[1] 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.[2][3] It was succeeded by the Canon EOS 500D (Rebel T1i in North America) which was announced on 25 March 2009.[4]

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.[5]
