It does'n matter what camera you buy, all you do is capturing light and when speed is not a factor, you can even use the very first DSLR like the Canon 1N with digital back from Kodak and use a tripod. When you have the artistic eye and use your imagination, you can make any high tech modern DSLR look like a piece of rubbish.

It is better to have better glass on a old tech body and use the full potential of the camera can do in it's limits.

You must also consider resolution. We most DSLRS are just beginning to capture a resolution similar to that of film.

Hello from Ireland dude! Thank you for your review...its great! I need some help. I was going to buy the 40D but now with the 40D discontinued by Canon the 50D seems the right choice? ...confused!

Price difference here in Ireland is not that much. 40D(€959) 50D(€1099) both with the 17-85mm IS lens... what you think ?

[mamerican7772]

Truth be told, I don't think you should buy either camera. Many are expecting the Canon 60D to be released within the coming months. It will probably incorporate a higher resolution sensor and Full HD video plus a few other changes. As for the 17-85mm IS Lens, I would say to stay away. A friend of mine has that lens and I have yet to see any kind of quality come out of that lens. Your best option would be the canon 17-40mm F4L lens which I have a video about. I hope this helped.

Why not a nikon D300?

[mamerican7772]

Because I have been shooting with Canon for 10 years.

Cheers my man, I would imagine the 60D will be an expensive piece of kit and maybe more kit than i need??? H.D. video function really does not appeal to me, its something i would not use. Cheers for the lens advise. I am going to buy the 50D i think...should i get the body only and then buy a decent lens or just go for the lens kit ?. Cheers mate..

would the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, be a good L lens?

I thought your video was very helpful. Although I need to take a class to learn how to use my 50D, can you tell me how to set mine to the highest possible resolution so I can blow up a photo into a poster or banner? Help please.

Shouldn't you know how to use the camera and the specs before you do a review? You really sound like an idiot.

Nice review, mamerican7772... I have just purchased the 50D along with the 24-105mm 'L' IS USM lens. I opted for the 50D over the newer 60D simply because of two factors: 1) magnesium alloy body vs plastic and 2) the 50D is strictly for photography - no video capabilities. I have a high def video camera which has photographic capabilties, too, but I don't use it as a still camera. The 50D is tried and true and for ~1/3rd the price of the 5D Mark II, you get (with a nice Lens) great shots.

@PuppyPowy Not sure if you've bought a camera already, but you're better off going with an entry level camera (Canon Rebel XS/Nikon D3000) before moving up to a camera like this.

Despite what most people think, giving a beginner a better camera will not improve their photography skills whatsoever. You're better off getting a cheaper entry level and learning the basics of photography while investing in some good lenses, rather than spend money on a better body with crap lenses.

[PuppyPowy]

is it okay for a beginner to use the 50d? Im planning to use the 18-75 lens, but most people say that it sucks.

Im still new to the whole dslr thing, but i really wanna shoot some really good photos, just dont know which one suits me

[yusaius]

what video camera was used to record this?
