5 Stars Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Odered Canon 50D camera without any problems. The order arrived on time just as promised.

3 Stars Camera didnt work recevied the camera in very fast time. the camera worked one day and then would not formatte another card. brought it to a local shop and said it was the camera. at $1500 what a disappointment. it has already been sent back to canon who was more then nice but who wouldnt be at that kind of price. we will see how long it takes to get it back.

4 Stars My first semi-pro camera I am an amateur photographer and have used the camera now for a few months and am enjoying getting good results.

However, I would like to comment that the overall "Exposure Control" modes which are designed for a newbie like myself (e.g. Portrait, Sports, Close Up, etc.) do not allow many of the parameters of the camera to be adjusted. One example is that while in some of these modes you cannot disable the flash. Another is that the color temperature cannot be adjusted in certain modes.

My opinion is that it would be beneficial if these modes were expanded such that more of the camera's available features could be adjusted while in the the Exposure Control modes designed for new users. Additionally it would be nice if each one of these modes were allowed to be adjusted and saved independently. Perhaps a "Factory Default" - "Sports" mode (A) which cannot be edited and then additional customizable "Sports" modes versions (B,C,D,E,F) each of which is essentially the factory default mode but with user overrides. The customizations retain settings during battery changes.

Hopefully once I learn to use the Manual Mode more intelligently this will probably no longer be an issue.

I will probably keep this camera for long time.

5 Stars Good value for an outstanding DSLR The 50D is a nice upgrade camera; I have owned several of the "crop" cameras including the XT, XSi, 40D, etc. The new 50D is definitely worth moving up. The LCD is a huge improvement; the extra MPs give you a lot of cropping room. The camera focuses quickly, and is quite accurate.

I love the way the 50D feel in my hands - solid and very tactile. She's a keeper. A very good value in my opinion for a camera that can deliver professional results. This 50D paired with a good quality lens will give you results you are proud of.

5 Stars Sounds Great 50D Thank you Jodi-Ann Richards, for such a detailed review on the Canon DSLR 50D. I am looking at buying a DSLR, and have my 'eye' on all the newest models.

I have a Canon Film SLR Rebel Ti, and have read reviews for the Xsi and the new Rebel Ti1 and other DSLRs with Nikon and Canon. I have been very happy with Canons, and the 50D sounds treamedous and very clear image quality at 15.1 megapixels. I have a photography blog online, and have had photos published in magazines and calendars. I mostly take photos of landscapes, nature, travel, scenery, portrait, pets, etc.

I have read many positive and a few negative reviews about the 50D, and it sounds tremendous. I have also researched the Canon 5D Mark II, but the price bracket seems very expensive.

I have 2 Canon EF lens, a 90mm and a telephoto 300mm, and consider myself as a semi-professional photographer; by no means a beginner. Would the 50D be the 'best' choice?

Although the price seems high, reading other reviews, it has been highly rated, and sounds fantastic. I also have a Canon power-shot A650 and that takes clear photos, and I like that for "get up and go", however am looking at replacing my film SLR. Do you know of any photography stores in Canada, who offer a trade up-upgrade?
