 loved the device March 7, 2010

very happy with this SLR. The photos are sharp and colors are superb. I read lots of articles about the noise with high ISO but i did not see what they see, i have tried taking pictures on ISO 3200 and the pictures were stunning compared to other camera. slight noise is there but that is normal for a 3200, just take it to Adobe and remove the noise.
if possible, try to buy a better lens than the one provided by the manufacture. the only one thing that i did not like about the 50D is the battery life. with a full recharge, i take it out for one full day event then i need to recharge it again for the next event.
other than than that, the camera is excellent, pictures are amazing specially when printing them or zooming on pc.

I have never owned a prosumer camera in my life. I bought a 30d for a friend as a gift and shot with it a couple of times. The results I get with the 50d far outshine that of the 30d but I can't tell you why. Not an expert. I just know you can't beat the price and the 28-135mm lens produces wonderful shots. I like pulling it all the way out, setting the camera on AV mode at 5.6 and getting that beautiful blurry background with my subject in focus. I have two friends with the 30d and they have both found my camera extremely desirable. One attractive quality is that you can see all of the settings when you look in the view finder so you can make adjustments while you are framing up a shot. I can't wait to really learn the camera. The user's manual is okay but I preferred getting the field guide.
Very good working camera February 28, 2010

Bought this to replace a Canon 30d. Therefore the basic operation and menu structure were familiar. The menu is more flexible and easier to use than for the 30d. I also bought the 50d because it uses the same battery as the 30d.
My first trip with the 50d was to document a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. The picture quality is excellent, especially in low light. The camera's ability to shoot photographs in low light without noise is outstanding (when compared to my previous cameras).
This is a full size (not full image frame) camera that is a little heavier than the 30d. With two lenses and gear, I felt the weight at the end of the day. While this isn't a pocket size, light weight camera, it will perform where lightweight cameras cant.
Overall, I'm well pleased with the camera.
Love this Camera! February 25, 2010

I'm seriously just a beginner. So If you know a lot about a camera, this might not be the review for you. For me, as a beginner, this is an amazing camera. It's taken beautiful pictures. My only suggestion to someone buying this camera who doesnt know about camera, would be to buy a canon 50d book with it. The manual is a little hard to read. Now that I'm getting used to all the functions, I'm just ammazed at what it can do. I couldnt be more pleased with this purchase!

As usual your service was as expected. The camera is more than I expected. I also have a Canon 10D and this represent a huge advance over it. Go Canon!!
