Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 1st dslr and happy with choice
I purchased this based on word of mouth references as well as online references. It IS a different ballgame from the P&S format I was used to but I knew this going in. It is fairly intuitive and any new owner just needs to take the time to understand all its capabilities. The camera arrived okay but I was a little concerned; the camera and lens were packaged securely in the Canon box but that box was so loosely packaged in the shipment box from Amazon that it was literally bouncing around like ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Camera Package of Excellence
I purchased the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens just over a month ago. It is by far the best camera I've ever had. The quality of the pictures is fantastic and the one lens does all is even better.

I've had the Digital Rebel with multiple lenses which I loved but this is much better. Prior to that I had a Canon sure shot digital prior to that and a Minolta Maxxum 7000 film camera with multiple lenses before going digital. The 50D ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superior build and excellent image quality
I upgraded from a 20D to the 50D and did not wait for the 5D2. As others have remarked, all of my 20D accessories will work with the 50D including flashes, batteries and remote triggers.

My primary use is for aviation photography. This camera is quickly become the standard for sport shooting because of its fast (6.3 fps) shutter rate and large buffer. Unless you are using raw (recommended), you can shoot continuously with jpg. You need to be careful. With the 20D, it was easy to take single ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Read the reviews and still purchased the 50D
I am totally impressed. It is crisp and super fast. Very user friendly. I was worried from the reviews, but after reading what others posted I decided that maybe some of the dissatisfaction was from a glass/lens problem rather than a camera body issue? I say that humbly, I don't know. I use L series lenses and I'm thrilled with the upgrade to the 50D. Like butter. SMOOTH. Amazing results.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Some of the feature functions I like.
Before the year is out, I thought I'd upgrade my Canon 30D to the Canon 50D, to take advantage of, among other reasons, the little tax right off. and the financing deal offered by Circuit City. But my financial objectives are not the reason I'm writing about Canon 50D.But my financial objectives are not the reason I'm writing about Canon 50D.

Since there are a plethora of articles already written about Canon's most recent EOS camera, I thought I'd point out some some function features of the ... Read More
