I owned a Rebel XS and recently just upgraded to the 50D. I was about to only purchase the 28-135mm lens, but then I saw the lens is essentially half price if purchased with the 50D as a kit. I knew I would upgrade sooner or later, so I bought the kit and have not looked back. The extra features are worth every penny.
The 50D works and feels more advanced as it should, including the 28-135mm lens in comparison to the 18-55mm one. Both much sturdier, more sleek. The most notable differences are the jog wheel, which makes scrolling through pictures a breeze, and the 3.0" LCD = beautiful playback. I guess the only drawback is it's a bit heavier, but the trade-off is the added durability with more features packed within.
The learning curve was a cinch having used the XS. If you're looking to upgrade from a lower model, the 50D is the logical next step. I almost went with the slightly less T1i, but after reading around the web, several others made it clear the 50D would be worth the extra investment. I'd have to agree.

I just bought this camera this month. I had planned on buying the Rebel, but decided on the 50D because of the build quality. True, it's a bit heavy, but it feels more solid than the Rebel. I think that a heavy lens, like the 24-135mm would be better on a camera more solidly built. I didn't want a lens to outweigh the camera! The pictures, too, are fantastic. I can see a definite improvement over my small point and shoot camera. Since the 50D is so well built, I hope to use it for years before upgrading.

Great camera, all I would change is the weight, looks like canon solve that with the T1i option

This is my first Canon SLR in a very long while, and was unsure of the move from Nikon, but decided to check it out. Overall this is a nice camera. Noise level is indeed more than Nikon, my old D90 did some beautiful shots at high ISO where the 50D strugles. I would not go any higher than ISO 800 or so with this camera. Thing is I never do, so this is fine for me, but might be a problem for some.
The button layout I would say could use some work. Nikon I would give a major advantage here as all there buttons are easy to get to and navigate, where the Canon I have to look and fumble around to find even the basic stuff. I admit allot of this has to do with me needing to needing to know the camera better and will improve over time, but the D90 I picked up in like 20 min of using. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Canon's is bad, but could use some more work is all.
The camera is fast and starts up almost before I know I want to turn it on. (almost)Though I do feel Canon do need to add more AF points the nine it has seems to do the job well, even when following moving objects it keeps right up with it without a hint of wanting to slow down. Just make sure your memory card can keep up with this camera when your shutter is on auto fire. Like some reviews have stated, I have noticed the tracking does tend to want to go to brighter areas in the frame. This has not been a big issue with me, but is something you might want to watch for.
Another thing I really like is the solid build. It feels like a tank and knowing that metal and weather seal will keep this running long after I should of stopped shooting and had put it away. Nothing on this camera feels weak.
I was worried about soft images, though it is not a problem for this camera. Yes, if your using lower price glass you may see some softness, but this is not the camera doing it. With the 28-135 lens I got some pretty sharp shots with it and think its a good basic Lens, Yes my Primes (I like my primes) do better, but did enjoy using the lens on this camera for simple walks when I only wanted one lens with me and nothing else. Also I have noticed that this camera has no image overlay or multiple exposure settings. These are common on Nikon cameras, even there cheaper models, and I find it upsetting that there not on this camera. Yes you can do these in photoshop, having CS4 this is not a problem, but I prefer to do things in camera and only use PS for minor tweaks and adjustments. Canon really needs to add these.
At the price right now I would have to say this camera is a steal and a better deal over the 7D which really does not add much. I might take a stronger look after a price drop or two but right now this is a much better deal and I think anyone looking for a good buy on a SLR built as strong and performs as fast and accurate would be happy with buying the 50D.

The quality of photos is great, with very quick autofocus, and using a zoom lens with the IS feature still gives very sharp images. There is a learning curve with all the features on the camera, and searching through the menu or book takes some time to learn, but using the features makes them easier to remember. Indoors and in flash situations, I haven't found a way to MAKE it take a picture even with the flash unit raised. Seems it wants to find its own focus rather than my manual focus, or something other, but this is the only irritating thing about the camera. For outdoor photography this isn't an issue, but indoors it is.
