Pick up the EOS 50D and youll experience true digital inspiration! Reviews I received the items in quite few days, it's very good. Currently, I'm still studying how to use it well. To be fair, all these digital SLRs are just unbelievable achievements, but they get compared to each other, so small things can seem bigger. This is an amazing camera, and so are most of the others. Compared to the 500D, this one: - costs more - is sturdier (and heavier) - has NO video mode - has the same processor at its heart - has a better user interface I have found the auto-exposure is imperfect, but that's not so unusual -- I just often prefer tweaking photos slightly from the recommended exposure using the manual setting. I am frustrated that the "bulb" setting expects you to hold the shutter button down for the entire exposure (by definition, bulb photos are long photos, and holding a camera steady while holding the button down is a challenge -- not to mention a pain. Who wants to do that for even a minute, let alone super-long exposures? But I am told this is industry standard. This DOES work with my 15-year-old Canon EF lenses. The Live View feature is surprisingly limited, but often nice to have available. Certain features don't work when using Live View. "Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) I am not one to normally write reviews. However, I am so impressed with this camera that I feel obligated to sing its praises. This was my first digital SLR after being a die-hard film guy for over 40 years. I sold off my Nikon F2A, motor drive and several lenses and have never looked back. Being a devout Nikon guy, I considered the Nikon digital SLRs, but like my pocket Nikon digital camera, they felt poorly made and the navigation was anything but intuitive. The Canon 50D feels solid, and if you don't mind a larger body and the weight (I prefer it) you will be impressed with the solid feel of the body and all of the controls. The navigation is so easy you almost don't need the instruction manual. I purchased the Canon 18-200AF-IS zoom lens, and although there is some minor (real minor) distortion at both ends of the focal planes, it is a great "one lens solution that provides a 35mm equivalent range of about 28-300mm. The pictures are razor sharp, and the raw image software is effective and easy to use. My only criticism of this camera is that occasionally in low light (even with an external Canon flash attached) it sometimes will not fire in auto mode because it decides there is not enough light. This can be resolved by using manual mode. A great camera - it has exceeded my expectations. This was my first DSLR, I chose the 50D of the 7D because of the "dummy" modes, since I wasn't familiar with a DSLR. The 7D didn't offer the dummy modes. Overall, I like this camera, easy to use, menus are all very easy to understand and navigate. After learning more about photography and going from beginner to intermediate-advanced level in a short period of time (I took over 300 hrs of photography classes in a 6 month period), I quickly (very quickly) outgrew the 50D. Especially with low-light photography. My main gripe with the 50D, as I have seen many others say, is the noise level, especially in low light settings. Even with the camera on a Tri-pod and using only L series lenses, the noise levels I get with the 50D are just disturbing. Even in regular lighting, with raw mode, Adobe RGB color setting, on a Tri-pod, with L series lenses, when I zoom in, I still see disturbing amounts of noise... So, if you are just looking for a camera to take pictures of family and friends, and you aren't an expert on DSLR, the 50D is a good choice...In my case, I will be upgrading to the Full Frame Sensor 5D Mark II as soon as the dinero becomes available... I had 300D and I decided to upgrade to 50D. Today, I know I made the right decision when it comes to take pictures. This camera is better in many ways so, I won't even try to desrcibe. There's some pro sites for that. As for my experience, I love it. Pictures come out great and I feel like I must take pictures all the time. If you have any thoughts whether to buy this one or not, DON'T HASITATE. TAKE IT!
