Canon 50D January 27, 2009

I upgraded from the Canon 40D in December.........not exactly by choice but because some low life liberated the 40D from a hotel room in Barcelona!
The camera is fantastic and produces pin sharp results and the noise performance is much better than the 40D. Part of the reason things look so good though is partly down to the screen which is stunning. The extra megapixels helps the image size when printing (pixel count is 4752x3168 as opposed to 3888x2592 on the 40D). I am lucky to have a plotter at work which can print to A0 on canvas and even prints of A1 and above look great.
If you are used to the 40D, the layout and buttons are exactly the same bar the remote print button which now doubles as a live view switch.
Although the lens is not that fast, for the money the quality is spot on, especially compared to the cheaper kit lens like the 18-55.
The camera and lens combination is fairly heavy but i like this and having large hands i find this very comfortable.
I would certainly recommend this kit and it is a definate improvement over the 40D. If mine hadnt been stolen though i would not have upgraded at this point as the difference is good but not enough to warrant the change unless you can get decent money selling your 40D.
The f1.8 50mm Canon lens works a treat with this camera and for less than £70 is a great option for low light scenarios and for portraits.

I purchased this camera in Dec 2008. It was my first DSLR. I could have purchased the 40d, but did lots of research and figured that it was better to pay the additional premium, for a more up to date camera. The camera was supplied with the 17-85mm lens. I have used this camera on a daily basis. The instructions supplied are superb, but the only way to really get to know the camera is to use it. To say that I am impressed would be a complete understatement! It is lovely to use. This a heavy, large camera, so if you plan to use it for world travels, it might not suit. Personally, I like the weight as it just feels right and the quality is just the best. this is based on looking at the Sony alpha and Nikon range! I would highly rate the Eos 50d. The pictures are brilliant, it is easy to use and completely ticks every one of my boxes! Richard

Decided to upgrade my wonderful eod400d and lenses. After reading quite a lot about it, I had decided against the 450d and would go for the 40d instead. However, after reading about this camera, I could not resist..... it was quite a lot more, but decided that I could buy this one and not need another camera for many years. This lens is about the best affordable standard lens for the canon eos range, and is a lovely bit of kit. Only disadvantages compared to a lesser lens and the 400d is the size and weight, however feels much more stable and well built. Now down the the picture quality...... all I can say is AMAZING! Even in low light (a common eos flaw) this camera took great shots without the flash, crystal clear..... only had it a day or so, but convinced this was well worth every penny
