7 July 2011
Summary: Some reviewers have been harsh in their criticism of the 50D, generally concluding that its image quality is not as good as the 40D.
Pros: Image quality is exceptionally fine, as we expect from this line of cameras. Skin tones are natural and colours are accurate. The long zoom lens works better than expe...
Cons: A three exposure auto-bracket for a camera in this price range is inadequate.
Excerpt: The SLR market has been heating up in recent months, with the category's two big guns slinging several punches at each other in the form of new products.
Pros: Massive 15.1-megapixel resolution, incredible LCD display, fast burst mode, fairly good Live View mode, option for an image stabilised kit lens, ISO 6400 and 12800
Cons: A little more chromatic aberration than usual, 95 per cent viewfinder coverage

Pros: Detailed and clean image output (but not as detailed as we would have expected from a 15 megapixels sensor), Chroma and luminance noise well controlled at higher sensi...
Excerpt: Pity the Canon EOS 50D. Between the hoopla about the latest full-frame juggernauts from Nikon, Sony, and Canon itself, and the buzz on the debut of the Micro Four Thirds...
Conclusion: The EOS 50 is a camera of two halves. As a camera it's excellent, but the picture quality unfortunately fails to live up to the promise of that 15.1mp sensor
Summary: With almost too many features and capabilities to discuss, the Canon EOS 50D is an extraordinary digital SLR that is perfect for the photographer who needs something fast
