Comments:
The EOS 50D offers class-leading resolution, an amazing 6.3fps continuous shooting mode, a tough, magnesium alloy body and compatibility with all Canon EF-S and EF lenses. Though its 15-megapixel sensor has the highest resolution of any of its rivals, tho

Review Verdict: The EOS 50D is an excellent semi-pro camera with slick controls, rugged build and a terrific continuous shooting rate of 6.3fps. But while the camera's great, the pictures are pretty average, despite that 15-megapixel sensor. The fine detail in JPEGs is o

Review Verdict: Our initial impressions of the 50D are positive; it looks to be a solid upgrade to a good camera, adding extra resolution. But there is no real speed increase over its predecessor; it shoots at 6 frames per second, while the 40D was slightly faster at 6.5
