Canon has released, yet another, amazing product - the EOS 50D. Similar to its predecessor, the 40D, the 50D produces high resolution images with excellent quality. The 50D looks and functions like its predecessor, with many improvements and additions. Canon fanatics are impressed with the changes made to the 50D, and only a year after the 40D was introduced to the market.
Like most Canon cameras, the EOS 50D is for higher end photographers, not beginners. The functions and features, on the 50D, would go to waste with the type of photography done by amateurs and beginners. This is not to say they cannot use the camera, it just might be a bit overwhelming and expensive for their needs.
The 15.1-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor improves the resolution and allows for a much wider range in ISO settings. ISO settings, on the 50D, now range from 100 to 3,200. With additional technology and advanced bonus features, ISO settings can actually be expanded to 12,800 (H1: 6,400, H2: 12,800).
As previously stated, there are some new features on the 50D, which were not incorporated in the 40D. Some of these features are vignette correction, Automatic Lighting Optimizer with three levels, adjustable noise reduction, a Creative Auto mode, a lens micro adjustment function, and face detection autofocus in Live View mode.
The Canon also includes features such as 6.3fps continuous shooting, DIGIC 4 processor, 9-point wide area AF, EOS Integrated Cleaning System, HDMI connectivity, and full compatibility with EF, EF-S, and EX-series Speedlites lenses. Overall performance, on the 50D, is amazing with the integration of the DIGIC 4 processor. This technology also increases the overall resolution of images.
There is a 3.0" Clear View VGA LCD display on the EOS 50D. Live View mode and Face Detection Live AF have been tightly integrated, into the display, to make for a more realistic experience. The LCD screen displays images at a 920,000-dot resolution - experience pure vibrancy. The screen is protected, with a protective coating, from fingerprints, dirt, glare, and scratches.
The body of the 50D is made from stainless steel, giving consumers an extremely durable camera. This is not to say the camera can withstand being run over by a car, but every day use, a slight bump, or the occasional fall will not harm the functionality of the camera. It will fit comfortably in the palm of your hand with measurements of 5.7-inches x 4.2-inches x 2.9-inches, and is easy to operate with easily accessible buttons and menus.
Suggested retail price - for the EOS 50D - is $1,399. However, you can purchase the 50D for less depending where you shop. This price is for the camera and basic lens only, additional packages are available - with advanced lenses - for much higher price tags. Additional lenses and accessories can be purchases separately as desired.
If you are familiar with the 40D, the 50D will not be much different. You will notice an overall improvement on performance, functionality, and features; otherwise, you should be comfortable with this new model right out of the box. If you have accessories, for the 40D, use them on the 50D as most of them should work. The EOS 50D will provide you with professional grade photos at a fraction of the price. Keep up with the latest in technology with Canons 50D. - 15437
