There are some great reviews here about the camera, but the one thing I didn't see posted anywhere, including anywhere on Canon's website, is that the photo tranfer protocol is only compatible with more advanced versions of Windows Vista. I love this camera, but now I have to spend another hundred bucks to upgrade my operating system! from Amazon.com I waited a lot for this camera, and finally decided when the price dropped a bit. It is my first owned DSLR but I have had some before like the EOS REBEL, 20D, 30D, 40D and 5D. from Amazon.com With an "L" lens you can shoot in very low light and still get excellent pictures. I have had this camera for a few months and have shot a few thousand pictures. I like it, but it bothers me a little that Canon releases a "new" model and then in a very short time offers newer processors. from Amazon.com I HAVE BEEN USING THE CAMARA FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS,I HAD A CANON REBEL AND THE DIFERENCE YN QUALITY IS GREAT!!!I LOVE CANON CAMARAS!!11 from Amazon.com This review is aimed at my fellow amateurs, first time DSLR buyers who want to take their new cameras out shooting pictures of bugs, their kids, and their vacations. I like my Canon EOS 50D very, very much. from Amazon.com I started my Canon digital experience with the 40D and have been very happy with the images it produces. It has been flawlessly reliable, producing many thousands of images over the past 18 months. from Amazon.com I have owned 20D and 30D prior to purchasing the 50D. I upgraded primarliy for the increased resolution and larger display size. from Amazon.com I have read reviews says 40d is much better than 50d .. nevertheless, I have purchased this piece from amazon and start practicing my new hobby. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I purchased this camera from Amazon.com and was debating whether to buy XSI or 50D. Apparently, this camera is a backup body for my Canon 5D Mark II. from Amazon.com
