I am an amateur photographer and have used the camera now for a few months and am enjoying getting good results

We did a Wedding with our new camera and the results are fantastic

If you want to let the camera make all the decisions you can set it, relax and just shoot away with very good results

Each lens produced superior results using the 50D in every situation except using the cheap glass

The results I get with the 50d far outshine that of the

When you use this mode dial the Creative Auto screen comes up on the LCD monitor

LCD screen so good that you may think all your pics are good

The 3inch screen is great, it is so clear, you know if your shot is good from the start

The big reason I would want the 50D is for the totally improved LCD screen, which is like the D300, to see if you are getting the shot you want.

(I damaged my screen on the Rebel and really had issues seeing the info on the LCD), and would definitely recommend this as an accessory.

Over all I am very satisfied and love the price I got the camera and lens for.

it is not available anymore, as Nikon introduced the d300s which is aimed at a higher end market with much expensive price tag

If you pay a good price, you should receive a well made product

I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for Canon quality at a great price from Amazon.

I bought the camera from another dealer for cheaper price and is very happy with it

I have read some of the reviews here claiming poor quality and graininess at high ISO ratings, but I have yet to see anything be crisp shots even at 1600

The quality of the pictures is fantastic and the one lens does all is even better

And while I love the image quality from the 50D, and it's ease of use

JPG quality is also very good, even when blown up on a 40

Image Quality - Both cameras offer excellent image quality.

The camera was taking fast continuous pictures before the repairs

Don't listen to the negative stuff, this camera takes awesome pictures!

This thing is a joy to use and the image quality is amazing, I actually found this easier to use than my 2 other Canon PS (shooting manual, that is).--------------------------------------------------------------------------After checking out the camera, I found that there's a lint on the focus plate that would not go away, it does not affect the picture but annoy the hell out of me.

I noticed that whenever I selet the automatic mode, pictures are always blurry

This camera is great once you get the hang of using it you can take some great pictures

If all you care about are still pictures, this is single handedly the best bang for the buck camera out there in terms of useful non-gimmicky features and picture quality

Personally I still think Live view is an odd feature to put in a mid to high range

I was going to get a Rebel, but glad I paid the extra $ for the 50D. Built better, better features, higher resolution, & no plasticky feel

It produces great images worthy of a prosumer level camera, but lacks the feature and flexibility that a prosumer level camera offers, such as better build quality, better ergonomics, faster continuous shooting, full featured Live View and better tweakability

You will not be disappointed with this purchase - just remember to get a GOOD LENS for this camera.

I still use the Rebel body with the original (far less expensive) 18-55mm lens for candids, close-ups and group shots where motion is not much of an issue

The lens was completely broken but the body is still in perfect shape and continues to amaze everyone with the amazing photos this thing puts out

It is better to have a good L lens on a Canon 40D rather than a mediocre lens on the Canon

The color and detail of this camera, when working as expected, is very impressive...but very frustrating when it isn't.

Crisp, clean, good color, just what we have come to expect from Canon

The color and sharpness were astounding with a bounced (75 degree) flash using the auto setting on the 580 EX II

The color, white balance, and sharpness of the photos are great

I had K20D and liked it a lot, but the ugly color noise clearly visible even on ISO400 started to be irritating

Beaten like a rented mule, once I finally succumbed to the inevitable, Canon Technical Support did supply me with a prepaid UPS shipping label to send my brand new and second defective Canon EF 28-135

Losing power during ANY firmware update (even Canon's) can be

I sent it back repeatedly, but Canon never fully fixed the problem

the top pannel of the camera was replaced and it now responds like a brand new camera despite the 60,000 shutter actuations!This camera is one of the best pro-sumer (crop-sensor) bodies Canon has built

Great camera, all I would change is the weight, looks like canon solve that with the T1i option

I love the way the 50D feel in my hands - solid and very tactile.

The 50D is sharper than my 40D and the images are not soft

Under that situation the 50D seemed to noise out on the constant color areas, (beige walls for example), while the 40D tended to noise out at the interface between colors, (at the boundary of a beige wall and darm crown molding for example).

The 40D churned a bit, but the 50D had no issues at all, it smoothly focused the lens

and so I was surprised to find out that 50d nowhere matched noise performance of a cheaper Nikon D90
