Great Camera!

I bought this camera to replace a Canon 20D. I have gotten excellent results, I would certainly recommend this camera to friends and family. I gave my daughter the 20D, a good camera in it's own right.
The controls are set up nicely, I can perform most operations with one hand, with the camera in shooting position. I really didn't think I would use the Live View mode much, but it has become an indispensable feature for me.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Improvement

My 40D is a good camera, the 50D is an improvement in all areas. The instant control you have over all settings and the bright clear LCD just make photography easier. You now have many more RAW settings to chose from. My experience with battery life has been excellent so far.
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Solid Operation, easy to use, good battery life

Great almost 5 stars

Love the new bright Hi rez screen and image quality is great, maybe the best I've owned. Only reason for 4 out of 5 is the handling of the High ISO noise. Don't get me wrong, if you have ever seen how film handles high ISO, digital is way ahead of the game. Just still... I was a little disappointed about the quality of the very high ISO settings (above 3200). Great in an emergency, but basically unusable with the main issue is banding, I hope they address this in a future Firmware update, like they did with the 5DMarkII, since it looks like they share the same CCD density. I understand, when the pixel size goes down, it is harder to control noise, but just wishing out loud.
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD
Cons: noisy

Absolutely Stunning
on May 3, 2009

I have been shooting photographs for nearly 30 years and digital images since 1990. I have owned 5 different digital cameras in that time period and have enjoyed all of them. However, none of them have had even the slightest comparison to my new 50D. I image quality is absolutely stunning, the speed of operation is superb. The menu system is highly intuitive and the 'bang for the buck' is more than adequate. This is my first Canon product but it won't be my last!
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Quick Start-up time, easy to use

Outstanding Camera

This was a big extravagance for me, but I have no buyer regrets. Even though it is a little heavy, the wider body rests more comfortably in my hand than the Rebel XTi I used previously. My hand actually aches less with this camera after a long shoot. The 15.1 MP is a big plus to allow for more cropping without loss of quality. The high flexibility in customizing this camera is a big plus, especially the ability to override the AEB cancellation that occurs when the flash is activated or the camera is turned off with the Rebel XTi. The high speed shooting is incredible with a 45 MB/s UDMA enabled card. It focuses noticeably better in lower light than the rebel does with the same lenses. My only gripe is: it doesn't have an infrared or other economical wireless remote. This was very useful for macro shoots.
Pros: excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Nice features/settings, Solid Operation, advanced customization
Cons: no infrared remote

Canon for life!

I remember back "in the day" when CANON was an inexpensive alternative to "real" cameras (35mm). Not anymore! Can you find a better camera? Of course! And if I wanted to spend 10X the amount I spent on my 50D, I could probably get a much better camera (though I don't know how - other than taking someone to follow me around and take the pictures for me). CANON is now a force to be acknowledged in the imagry field. This high quality piece of precision instrumentation is more than anyone could ask for. My experience after taking literally thousands of images with my 50D is that someone's going to have to pry my cold, dead fingers from my 50D in order to get me to drop it. Why, then, did I only rate it a "four" out of "five" stars? I figure that rating it a 5 on all counts would leave no room for improvement and while I can't imagine what that improvement would be, I leave it to CANON to maybe someday come up with something even better! I HIGHLY recommend this piece of equipment to anyone from rank amateur to professional on pretty much every level!!
Pros: Superior build quality, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Solid Operation, easy to use, Lightweight/Portable, exceptional versitility
