 Worth the Upgrade November 26, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I own a Canon 20D and debated for a while in getting the Canon 50D. I finally made the purchase and it was well worth it. I still love my 20D but the 50D resolution and better noise control is awesome. The 50D is also more intelligent when I do not use the manual mode. The sensor clean is also a bonus.
The battery life is very impressive and rarely need to use my two back-ups unless in the wild for some time. I managed to take over 1000 no-flash pictures for a football game with the same battery. So when the photo taking gets heavy, nothing is better when you do not have to worry about the battery all the time.
With this camera I have reliability like no other.
Awesome camera! December 6, 2008

I'm a beginner and love this camera! I had read the negative reviews, as well as the positive ones, but decided to buy it anyway. I took a risk and now I'm being rewarded - this camera takes fantastic pictures. It's easy to learn and use also. I also bought two great lenses (135mm f/2L, 24-70mm f/2.8L) which bring out the best in this camera. Don't listen to the negative stuff, this camera takes awesome pictures!
Amazing Quality (with the right lens) October 24, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I love this camera. I was initially pleased but not overly enthusiastic when I tried it out with my EF-S 60mm macro lens. Then, I attached the 24-105mm L series lens and the pictures are wonderful. I have always done touchups with Photoshop and Noise Ninja; don't need those anymore, at least for these pictures, although I did some additional sharpening. I severely cropped some pictures and still had enough detail and sharpness to please anyone. The exposure (with less blown out highlights) and focusing were spot on, and focusing is FAST!! It is a much better camera than either the Canon 20D or 30D.
Totally Satisfied with the Canon 50d October 14, 2008

Earlier this year I purchased the Canon 40d, thinking that it's replacement wouldn't be in the works for a while. I was quite surprised, and somewhat dismayed, to find that Canon was releasing the 50d so soon. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend more money to upgrade. But I was never totally satisfied with the 40d, so I took the plunge. I can only say that I'm thrilled with the performance of the 50d compared to the 40d. While I'm not prepared to go into a long detailed comparison, I will say that I find the image quality and the auto-focus accuracy of the 50d to be noticeably better than the 40d. I have no regrets making the upgrade.
Great Camera! December 18, 2008

This review is for the beginner/hobbiest to the advanced amateur...this is simply a wonderful camera.
The 50D is very intuitive, not the least bit indimidating, and surprisingly easy to use considering the more advanced features Canon has put into it. I have not spent a lot of time learning all that this camera can do yet, but I am encouraged by the camera and it practically asks you do learn more about it...it wants you to take great pictures. I have always shot with a Canon, but this is my first DSLR (film die hard till the end) and I have been thrilled.
I left for a vacation in Curacao 3 days after opening the box so I had to learn on the fly (literally on the flight) and I was amazed how quickly the camera felt like I had owned it for years. I also discovered how addictive shooting digital can be (8GB minimum is a must) so I just the let the shutter burn and ended up taking over 1000 photos over 8 days.
On the coastline I put the camera in continuous mode and the high burst rate practically gave me video of the waves crashing into the shore when you view the photos in rapid succession. This camera was a lot of fun...it makes you want to do more because it can.
Feel free to check out some of my photos in the customer images page. I do not have the technical knowledge or skills of some of the other reviewers which seems to be an advantage to me. This seems like it will be a great camera to continue to develop my skills with.
I have been very pleased with my purchase and I am confident anyone else would be too.
