Canon EOS 50D (with 28-135mm lens)
THE GOOD: Excellent performance and photo quality; solid, comfortable shooting design. THE BAD: Relatively basic feature set for its class. THE BOTTOM LINE: A very good midrange dSLR, the Canon EOS 50D is a compelling--but not necessarily a must-have--choice for Canon upgraders. Top

The Canon EOS-50D was announced as a sister model, rather than successor, to the EOS-40D.

The 3" LCD screen has more pixels than the one found on the 40D,... Top

Canon EOS 50D Review
Many features stand out to make the Canon EOS 50D a great digital SLR camera. What will really catch and hold users is the impressive image quality they'll get from the Canon 50D across the standard ISO range of 100 to 3,200. The Canon 50D's new gapless microlenses allow greater light gathering ability, making for surprisingly detailed images, even at ISO 800 and 1,600. The Canon 50D's 14-bit... Top

Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera Review
The 15-megapixel EOS 50D is Canon's newest mid-range SLR. Available for $1399 for the body alone, or packaged with a variety of kit lenses, it's the successor to 2007's 40D. After putting the 50D through a rigorous body of tests (undertaken using the 28-135mm lens, part of a $1600 kit set), we came out with an impression of it being a solid, dependable camera, but without any amazing new...

Camera Labs – Canon EOS 50D review
The Canon EOS 50D is a feature-packed semi-pro DSLR which takes the already capable 40D, increases the resolution to 15.1 Megapixels, quadruples the sensitivity to 12800 ISO, and packs in all the latest features – bar a movie mode. It becomes the first Canon DSLR with a VGA screen, HDMI port and in-camera correction of lens vignetting; there’s even the AF micro-adjust feature inherited from... Top

Canon EOS 50D Review
Announced just one year after the 40D, the new EOS 50D is Canon's latest semi-pro DSLR camera. With a price-tag just over £1200 / $1399 body only, the Canon 50D is firmly aimed at the prosumer, who will use it as their main camera, and the pro photographer looking for a reliable and relatively inexpensive backup body. The main headline-grabbing feature is the 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, which... Top

Great Camera
Strengths: Great Image Quality, Stunning Color
Weakness: sometimes slow autofocus in low light, no video mode
It has been a wile since I have shot with a SLR. So, take my review with a grain of salt.
Overall this camera is great so far. The color is just amazing - very vibrant.
As expected the built-in flash is limited. When used as a focus assist beam the flickering light can be a bit annoying. I am ordering a Speedlite and hope that it's focus assist beam is more subtle. I am still figuring out the optimal setting to use the flash as a fill without overpowering the subject.
Aperture and Lightroom (non-beta) software do not have the RAW profiles for this camera yet. Therefore I have not tried doing post work with the RAW files.
The camera is pretty quick at emptying its buffer when shooting burst. I was able to shoot 12 - 14 RAW+Ljpg before the buffer filled up using SanDisk Extreme III cards.
The included lens has a decent range. I would like to see it come with a wider angle lens.
