Rating:  - a work of art -- two thumbs up
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.
Rating: - Great Camera for the price and features!
I just received my new Canon 50D. I have to say that I am in love with this camera, no, it's not perfect. I would have loved to see a full frame CMOS sensor, but I can't have everything and price too! I find the images to be crisp and clear and the operation easy to use. I have shot over 300 pictures with this camera so far and I am very happy with the quality of images, especially at the high ISOs. I also gave it to a novice photographer to use on Thanksgiving and they loved it as well and had no problem operating the camera
A couple of nitpicks - First, on the new CA mode, I completely understand the need for this setting, there are many people picking up these cameras who have never used an SLR before and don't understand aperture or shutter speed. However, this feature is only as good as the lens. If someone is using a lens that doesn't have an aperture of 2.8 or 1.4 then they won't get the background to be too blurred. Second, the exposure compensation is now on the rear dial, this is more a preference and I will most likely get use to it, in time :).
ETA: Another thing that would have been nice is a video setting like the 5D and the Nikon D90. But again, you can't have everything.
One of the most impressive things to me was how it handles low light situations. I shot at the full range of ISOs and liked how the camera handled color, sharpness, and tone. I see many reviews saying that Nikon or other cameras hold up better in low light, that might be ... Read More
Rating: - Worth the Upgrade
I own a Canon 20D and debated for a while in getting the Canon 50D. I finally made the purchase and it was well worth it. I still love my 20D but the 50D resolution and better noise control is awesome. The 50D is also more intelligent when I do not use the manual mode. The sensor clean is also a bonus.
The battery life is very impressive and rarely need to use my two back-ups unless in the wild for some time. I managed to take over 1000 no-flash pictures for a football game with the same battery. So when the photo taking gets heavy, nothing is better when you do not have to worry about the battery all the time.
With this camera I have reliability like no other.

I spent time carefully shopping and weighing the numerous DSLR products offered. I settled upon the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Std Zoom Lens kit and made my purchase. I hope this will become a very satisfying camera. I think that the kit zoom lens offers an ideal focal length range for everyday, "walk-about" use.
This is my first DSLR, and I received it on 11/12/08.
The Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Std Zoom Lens was defective.
The zoom ring spins freely as gravity takes the zoom barrel of the lens from 28mm out to 135mm anytime the camera is (even slightly) pointed downward. I call Canon hoping that they will send me a replacement (new and perfect lens) lens and I can send them this lemon.
Canon doesn't "roll" like that, and they only offer to repair the brand new lens at a factory service facility. Canon advises that I seek resolution with my dealer.
Amazon customer care was fantastic and shipped a replacement kit immediately; I received the replacement kit on 11/19/08.
The lens in the replacement kit Amazon sent is no better than the first lens.
After some Internet searching, I discover that this phenomenon is known as "zoom creep". (so much for carefully shopping and weighing) I would characterize the two lenses I received as being afflicted with zoom run. Their zoom ring functions were both extremely sloppy and Lucy Goosy. The ring itself was ... Read More
