Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 50D 15.1 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Blows my Rebel XTi Away
Summary: 5 Stars
I was on the fence for awhile on whether I should purchase a new lens or camera body. So I decided to upgrade my lens first and purchased the 25-70 f2.8L and saw a nice improvement with my Rebel XTi. But it left me still wanting more detail and I was still not satisfied with the limited options I had available for manual settings/adjustments. Then I purchased the 50D body and WOW what a difference. The pictures are so amazingly clear and crisp. The 50D has never had another lens attached to it. The larger grip and layout is also fantastic and simply feels more comfortable to me to hand hold. I now use the camera for still life studio work, family photos and chasing my daughters as they play outdoor soccer (for closer shots) and indoor basketball (amazing pictures without a flash). Worth every penny!Customer Review: ... wow....
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon 50D is amazing. Im starting college and majoring in photography. I gave it some thought and decided to get a new camera. Before the 50D, I had a Canon xti. The xti was good for me to really just learn somethings out about the camera. Don't get me wrong, it was a good camera! I just needed something a little more advanced. The 50D does that and I love it! The colors are incredible. The one thing that I like about it the most, well its a small thing, but I love the shutter. On the xti, I could not take a picture during a wedding and it not make a loud sound that ruined it all! On the 50D, it is a lot quieter. Now I understand that it is probably that way with a lot of other Canon's, but it was a big difference going from an xti to a 50D. Huge difference!!!Customer Review: Love the feel of the Canon 50D.... 5 stars with a caveat*

The only lens I have is a Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR DI VC. This lens is soft soft soft any where above 100mm. I was coming home from just shooting some photos around the county where I live and saw an immature red tailed hawk sitting on a wire right beside a semi-busy highway.It was hunting mice and caught two while I was watching. I pulled off the road into a driveway of a business that was closed, and with this lens shot about a dozen or so pics. Mind you I was only 40 or 50 feet from this bird and did not get a single usable photo. So until I either learn how to use this lens or I spring for an "L"
lens I'll have to wait to review this camera fairly. I'm only doing this one because Amazon asked me to. Any advice would be appreciated also!

Customer Review: sweet camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used my 40D for almost two years. This 50D is a nice upgrade. I am very pleased to have made this upgrade. Other reviewers have written long, detailed, reviews, so I will make this one short and sweet. I am very pleased to have purchased the 50D. I especially like the following items:
1. High-resolution, LCD display on the back of the camera.
2. Custom menus and features. Also, the menus look so much better in color.
3. More mega-pixels, because I often crop.
4. Higher ISO.
The "Canon EOS 50D Digital Field Guide (Paperback)", available at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470455594/ref=oss_T15_product), provides a lot of good information for the 50D.
Bottom line: great camera that I am really enjoying.
Customer Review: a work of art -- two thumbs up
Summary: 5 Stars
I was using a XTi before, then moved up to the 50D. Originally, i was only for the enhanced pix count. When started using it, at least two things exceeded my original expectations.
1. the high speed shots when am doing birding -- incrediblly caught each frame thought cculd be missed. this definitely provides me other new possibilities for sporting as well as HDR bracketing.
2. the live view AF-ON's live and face-detect modes. i could not over state how big it helped out for the shot on my wife's food blogging. She said it won't be possible to get such a high mark now without those those helps.
3. one more thing, the LCD and those customizable features...awesome.
i like the IQ too, incredible.
