Canon Light writing?

Question

I'm thinking about buying a Canon EOS 450D, and I was wondering if you can do light writing with it.

Here's an example of what I mean if you don't know what light writing is..

Answer 1

Yes, the 450D will do timed exposures up to 30 seconds, and also has a bulb setting, which will leave the shutter open for as long as you want. If you're doing the writing yourself, you can use the self-timer (2 or 10 seconds) or an inexpensive infrared remote to trigger the shutter.

Answer 2

yep the 450d is great and would work. I have the 400d and it works with long exposure times...
