Great Camera
am an advanced amateur with a good experience with Canon equipments 40D5D plus 5 L lens and 15 years shooting mainly landscape and wildlife. After a Safari to Africa I realized I needed two things - Higher ISO capacity to get better shots on the dark. Even with my 70-200 2.8 IS I missed some great shoots because ISO 3200 was not high enough - More resolution to crop bird pictures that my 40D with a 100-400L could not fill the whole frame So the 50D seemed like the perfect upgrade to my next photo safari to Tanzania. It have all the specs I wanted plus some cool features such as the VGA view. After three days using the camera I am glad I bought it. I can not compare this camera to the Nikon since all my gear are Canon but compared to the 40D and the 5D the performance of this camera is great it have more noise than the 5D but it is much more user friendly and 6.3 pictures per s is perfect for wildlife. Highly recommended

saving my money now
Canon 30d Macbookpro Aperture 2 dont mess with Photoshop shoot mainly local wildlife portriture for friends Childrens sports nothing pro or for profit First let me say i do not own this camera yet however I do have a little hands on experience read further: As an owner of twin 30ds and previous 10d & 20d Canon DSLRs I have been looking to replace one or both of my current models. As my research began an interesting fact popped up to give me some skepticism about making the 50d my choice. One of them was that thru reading other reviews there was information offered that the new Raw file from the 50d could not be read by various softwares. As a user of Apple and Aperture this gave me great concern. Yesterday I woke up and slowly made my way passed my cup of coffee and over to my Mac. After firing it up and logging in I notice there was a software update available. When I read the details low and behold it was a Aperture update enabling it to read the new Raw files being captured by the 50d and other Nikon olympus sony and other DSLRs. I accepted the download and went and got dressed. Took a little drive up to the local garden variety Camera/photo national franchise chain to develop some prints and asked it they had a 50d. sure enough they did. Luckily I had grabbed a CF card and stuck it in my pocket before heading out. The gentleman behind the counter offered me the camera and let me slap the Cf card in and play with it for awhile. What they say is true. The controls are a lot different. Still the same type fit and finish of the typical Canon offerings. However within 5-10 minutes or so the controls had been mastered. I like the new controls. there are too many to go into details but suffice it to say that I have made the decision to make the 50d my new workhorse. Of course there is still the lingering question of figuring out how and where to get the funds for the transaction. At approx. $1399 it is a good value based on the overall features and also considering what we have been paying for previous generation DSLR technology. Later when at home i had the chance to review the RAW files on Aperture which were taken with the 50d. Crisp clean good color just what we have come to expect from Canon. Something worth noting is that the file size shot in the full size RAW mode was 20MB so the mac and Aperture was laggin a little. The camera has three Raw sizes to choose from however. Personally i would mailnly shoot in the middle 7.1 mp mode most of the time. Having the 15.1 mp RAW capability feature is a tremendous tool to be able to work with. Getting my hands on one made all the difference and it is my humble opinion that the 50d is a solid offering and a strong value. All things considered I will probably be purchasing one within the next 60 days or so. Maybe for Chistmas who knows?

A big leap for some
Moving from a 400D XTi to the 50D was a huge leap for me. The vast improvement in ISO performance functions menu fps etc. was invaluable. As my skills have progressed I am looking forward to the opportunities afforded to me by the very powerful 50D. I will have to enhance my skills even more to fully use this camera. So for those moving from the Rebel line to an xxD series this is a great move. Or if this is your first DSLR you will not be disappointed. However if you already own an xxD such as the very popular 40D then this is probably not the best choice for you. As some comprehensive reviews have shown the 50D is not a major advancement from the 40D and really only offers some new features such as improved LCD micro-AF adjustment and a larger sensor. However it does not beat and sometimes looses to the 40D in terms of noise and per-pixel sharpness although both are still hotly debated. The point being if you are moving from the rebel series or this is your first camera it is amazing powerful and you will not be disappointed. However it is not evolutionary to the xxD line and is not a necessary trade-up for current xxD owners. This does not mean it is a bad or non-improved camera. It is amazing and incorporates many great new features. The value to you simply depends on your needs/style and where you are coming from.
