Canon EOS 50D

The Canon EOS 50D professional DSLR camera is the follow-up to the Canon EOS 40D. While it's similar in esthetics and features, there are some significant upgrades. The most significant change Canon added is the jump from the 40D’s 10MP (megapixels) to now 15MP. While this camera is an upgrade from the 40D, the things they upgraded on this device does not make it that much more superior than the 40D.

The 15.1 megapixels is a pretty significant upgrade over the 10.1 megapixels of the previous model, the 40D. For some this will definitely be a major selling point for the upgrade, and for others, not so much.

The new Digic 4 Chip in this professional DSLR camera allows for some new features in the camera, including face detection in the live view mode, Auto Lighting Optimizer, high-ISO noise reduction, and variable raw sizes of 7 and 3.8 megapixels.

The Canon EOS 50D features a lens peripheral illumination setting, which looks at any lighting issues that may have occurred in the corners of the image and corrects it. We thought this technology was neat but almost unnecessary as many lighting issues are already corrected with a number of Canon lenses available for this device.

Several shooting modes are provided on this professional DSLR camera to perfect the captured images. Manual focus and autofocus are included along with metering modes with an image sensor. We were pleased to see a grid display and a silent shooting option so capturing images during a play or performance will not be distracting.
