Imaging Resource Nov 3, 2008

Canon's EOS 50D sticks with the conservative pattern that the company has established for their semi-pro digital SLR in terms of physical design, but now it also includes most of Canon's cutting-edge digital SLR technology. Where this line usually leads is in image quality for a reasonable price,...

Bought it as an upgrade for my Canon 20D, and I have been satified with my choice. I would have liked to buy a 5D Mark II, but could not afford that one. It would be perfect if it would have the capability to shoot video. High ISO noice is a lot less than with my 20D, ISO 100-1600 can be used...

Great camera! This camera is awesome for the intermediate photographer to the pros. It makes me look like I know what I am doing. The only thing that kind of bugs me is that the HDMI connection is a mini HDMI. You have to buy the cable seperate, you cannot just use a HDMI cable for your TV. Other...

This camera was a huge step up for me from a Rebel XT. The 15MP image quality is great especially for images taken at low ISOs and in good light. The only down side for me is the large size of the RAW files. Most average between 19 and 24 MB. I have a battery grip and with two batteries I can...
