The EOS 50D is both a worthy upgrade for current 40D owners and a real challenger to the D300, mainly thanks to the larger 15 megapixel sensor, new Digic 4 processor and expanded ISO range, which thankfully haven't compromised image quality in any way. De

As well as providing some significant improvements over the EOS 40D, the EOS 50D offers not just a better-built body but a significantly higher level of functionality than its parallel consumer model, the EOS 450D. The new camera also provides some real c

It is into this highly competitive area that Canon has recently launched its new EOS 50D at a price of £830 body-only, or £1,040 with the 17-85mm IS lens...Even with a 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, live monitor view and 6.3fps continuous shooting

It's a worthwhile replacement to an already popular model and I think you'll be pleasantly satisfied if you decided to go for the EOS 50D. My only advice to give would be to upgrade the lens as soon as possible. It suffers badly from CA in high contrast a

Canon has answered the call from advanced amateur photographers looking for a solid all-around lens with the introduction of the new EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. With an incredible focal length range equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format, the

Let's have a look at the really important stuff then: Image quality. Below ISO 1600 image output is clean with well balanced contrast and colors and as you would expect from a DSLR with a 15 megapixel sensor the 50D delivers a fair amount of detail. Havin

The EOS 50D fits squarely in the high-end sector. The excellent sensor found in the 50D demonstrates Canon’s prowess of keeping noise level down while increasing pixel count. Canon added some high-end features such as light fall-off correction and auto-fo

A very good midrange dSLR, the Canon EOS 50D is a compelling--but not necessarily a must-have--choice for Canon upgraders.

It is overall a nice camera and I don't think most people would be disappointed with getting the 50D. However, the only caveat is that, do not expect the 50D to show any real improvement in high ISO performance compared to the 40D and the competition.

My personal expectations for the 50D were a mixture of highs and lows; experience has taught me that Canon's updates to their mid-range DSLRs usually tend to be evolutionary, but I honestly expected to see some significant improvements over the old Canon
