I just bought the 450D and this is very helpful to get familiar with all the functions and buttons and menu options. Also has a basic guide to taking specific photos towards the end.

Gives you nicely the basics on how to use the different settings on the camera, and what it all means. A good section in the end on how to take different kinds of pictures.
Very good for someone who's just got their first DSLR; I doubt it will be that helpfull for someone who's already had a previous DSLR.
Biggest complaint I have is that most of the pictures in the book are taken with lenses that seem a bit expensive for the 450D, more like lenses for 40D or upwards. So as such there is a slight difference on how the book describes using the camera and how the owners most likely will use it. Though this is only a minor problem, as the basics are still the same no matter the cost of the lense in question.
If this is your first DSLR, I highly recommend this book. If you already owned one, get something more advanced.
