Strengths: It's all the pre-release press claims it to be. Excellent image capture, intuitive, well placed controls, excellent LCD display. I believe this heralds the next generation of how we think about DSLR's

Weakness: Heavier than my XTi (obviously) and on/off switch is not as convenient.

Image quality is fantastic. And isn't that what photography is all about? The 15mpx sensor uses a newly designed lens that seems to truly be brighter with more definition than any I've seen. In lens stabilization is as good as it can get with todays technology giving an honest 3-4 stops advantage with the 18-200mm, 3.5-5.6 IS lens that came with the kit. I think this is the first time Canon has included a lens hood, extra battery and even a UV filter. Lens light fall-off is well corrected with what they call peripheral illumination correction. One less step for post processing. A full range of extended setting are available through a very intuitive menu. But, those we use most often are very well placed as external controls so removing your eye from viewfinder is seldom necessary. The 3", 920,000 pixel LCD is a work of art by itself. ISO speeds up to 12,800 allow shooting in otherwise impossible situations. While some noise is to be expected at this extreme, detail is preserved and noise is controlled better than in any other camera I've seen. After several hundred pictures I couldn't be happier. If you shoot for N.G. maybe you want something else but, considering the price/value, for the other 99% of us this is as good as it gets.

Canon EOS 50D (with 18-200mm IS lens)

THE GOOD: Excellent performance and photo quality; solid, comfortable shooting design. THE BAD: Relatively basic feature set for its class. THE BOTTOM LINE: A very good midrange dSLR, the Canon EOS 50D is a compelling--but not necessarily a must-have--choice for Canon upgraders.

The Canon EOS-50D was announced as a sister model, rather than successor, to the EOS-40D. The 50D uses the same body as the 40D, but inside is an upgraded 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and the next generation processor (Digic 4, versus the 40Ds Digic III), Canon claims that the Digic 4 allows for up to 90 photos in a single burst mode. The 3" LCD screen has more pixels than the one found on the 40D,...

Canon EOS 50D Review

Many features stand out to make the Canon EOS 50D a great digital SLR camera. What will really catch and hold users is the impressive image quality they'll get from the Canon 50D across the standard ISO range of 100 to 3,200. The Canon 50D's new gapless microlenses allow greater light gathering ability, making for surprisingly detailed images, even at ISO 800 and 1,600. The Canon 50D's 14-bit...

Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera Review

The 15-megapixel EOS 50D is Canon's newest mid-range SLR. Available for $1399 for the body alone, or packaged with a variety of kit lenses, it's the successor to 2007's 40D. After putting the 50D through a rigorous body of tests (undertaken using the 28-135mm lens, part of a $1600 kit set), we came out with an impression of it being a solid, dependable camera, but without any amazing new...

Camera Labs – Canon EOS 50D review

The Canon EOS 50D is a feature-packed semi-pro DSLR which takes the already capable 40D, increases the resolution to 15.1 Megapixels, quadruples the sensitivity to 12800 ISO, and packs in all the latest features – bar a movie mode. It becomes the first Canon DSLR with a VGA screen, HDMI port and in-camera correction of lens vignetting; there’s even the AF micro-adjust feature inherited from...
