The spring showdown for DSLRs has concluded! The Canon 450D achieved total victory.

In the spring of 2008, Japanese digital SLR manufacturers all released their latest products targeted at the retail market. This first half of the year was destined to be a "key event" for intense competition among digital SLR manufacturers in their quest for market share! In just two short months, the Canon 450D, with its excellent performance across the board, took the lead and claimed the top spot in market share during this time period.
