Canon 1000D vs 450D

After comparing the specification of these two camera, personally I am strongly FOR 1000D.

1. 1000D is HK$1000 cheaper than 450D, both in kit set and camera body only.
   
2. 1000D has lower color-depth (12bit) while 450D is 14bit.
   BUT jpeg format carries 8bit only!
   So if you are not shooting RAW, there is no difference practically.
   If you know nothing about color-depth and don't even know 8 bit = 256, forget about color-depth please.
   
3. Continuously shooting...yes, 1000D is weaker since it can shoot ONLY 3 frames in a second. How often do you need to shoot things moving fast (Phelps at the pool for example)?
4. 1000D has no spot metering.
   If you don't know what spot metering is, or you know it but you never use, forget it, save $1000 and go for 1000D.
   ('Lacking of spot metering function' is claimed by a well established camera review website. I doubt if they really test it in detail. There is a '*' button, it should be a spot metering trigger, as a usual practice of Canon since the age of film cameras.)
   
5. 1000D has a smaller monitor at the back than 450D.
   If you will only review the pictures at the camera monitor instead of computer monitor / 4R print out, go for 450D.
6. Both cameras are at same level of body construction: plastic framework, no / low resistance against dust and water.
7. Matter of pixel is never a concern if you are not printing A4 size or larger FREQUENTLY.
8. If you still like 450D more after reading these, go for 450D please. (Don't bother.)
