Pros: Major improvements over the previous Canons 20,30, and 40D cameras. Cons: Wish Canon wouldn't change their cameras so much! from Shopping.com Pros: Great camera - does exactly what it needs to however had a problem with the auto focus. Cons: Auto-focus was broken - entire right side wouldn't focus at all Other Thoughts: Newegg RMA worked flawlessly. from Newegg.com Pros: Features. Hands down. When the 50D came out, the 40D was/is a viable alternative - but I went deep in with my first Canon purchase. from Newegg.com Pros: Still getting accustomed to the camera, maybe I'll write a more complete review later. Cons: Just want to alert potential buyers that the 'Free Camera Case' that NewEgg is throwing in through August DOES NOT FIT THE CANON EOS 50D! At least not the case that they sent me. from Newegg.com Pros: First of all shipping ,I ordered it one day and received the camera the very next day. This seems to be the norm for New Egg,I am a wedding photographer and have been using a Canon Rebel Xsi and it is a great camera,but the 50D is far superior in quality and feel. from Newegg.com I bought this camera and 2 lenses at the beginning of this month. I received the camera after a week in a small box without adequate packing. The camera had its own box etc so I didn't think much of it. (Unfortunately) I work in a technical field, so I had to "test" the camera before heading out with it. from Amazon.com I own a 40D and recently purchased the 50D. The photos turn out very nice (although I have some very good lenses). from Amazon.com Pros: Great image quality, Long battery life, Good price Cons: None Other Thoughts: I bought this to upgrade from my Canon Rebel EOS Xs, the image quality is amazing, shoots good pictures even up to ISO3200, the higher ISO ratings (6400 and 12800) could be better. from Newegg.com 50D...wow so far this camera is outperforming my expectations. I just recently was shooting swimming event indoor,it has huge differences from my XTi . from Amazon.com To date, I have owned several Canon DSLR cameras. I've owned the Rebel XT & XTi, I've owned the 1D, 5D, 60D, 30D, 40D and now I own the 50D. from Amazon.com
