I suspect Canon may come out with a 1DMrkIII replacement earlier than expected....

... given the problems it had since day 1.

Having said that, I think for the sports/bird/wildlife photographers that want a cropped body but with a great autofocus system, the 50D might be the ticket. And it's not outrageously expensive like the 1D series.

Here's your 50D... 15.1 megapixel - dloftis 2008-08-26 06:39:16 (159 views)

Enough of the internet armchair evaluation :) - Tanner 2008-08-27 14:52:07 (61 views)

Very promising. - truth 2008-08-27 15:12:11 (34 views)

Yeah... - truth 2008-08-27 15:38:49 (30 views)

Check out this photo taken by the 50D back in mid July.... - Tanner 2008-08-27 11:01:13 (58 views)

I think it's great for what it is - buffer, speed and resolution are impressive - MichaelTM 2008-08-26 08:06:01 (68 views)

Agreed. For a 30d owner it's a very affordable upgrade. - truth 2008-08-26 08:18:38 (70 views)

I'm thinking of making the 30d to 50d switch - Limey Chris 2008-08-26 17:35:53 (34 views)

if you really need a pro body - MichaelTM 2008-08-26 08:28:40 (82 views)

That's pretty much it... - truth 2008-08-26 08:38:26 (53 views)

digital bodies always lose resale value regardless. - scuderia 2008-08-26 08:35:44 (38 views)

very true, but in the MkIII's case it is accelerated by bad publicity etc - MichaelTM 2008-08-26 08:40:20 (47 views)

Which might be good for those looking for a used one - Tanner 2008-08-26 09:03:28 (34 views)

Trouble is that the early ones had the most issues and typically they are the ones up for sale. - truth 2008-08-26 09:09:29 (33 views)

Underwhelming. Although liveview with AF is an improvement, as is UDMA and the digic4 - scuderia 2008-08-26 07:51:24 (71 views)

While the 18-200 is always a comprimise - Tanner 2008-08-26 09:05:03 (58 views)

Agree 100%. It's a way to simplify things for the 1st time dSLR buyer. - truth 2008-08-26 09:08:43 (47 views)

What wouldn't have been underwhelming? - PabloX 2008-08-26 08:01:03 (36 views)

5DII/6D/7D whatever, markIIIN, new fast lenses, new TS lenses - scuderia 2008-08-26 08:20:18 (61 views)

For the market it seems to be targeted to, the 50D looks pretty nice. - PabloX 2008-08-26 08:33:44 (38 views)

agree. I'll be getting one to mount on the telephotos for reach. - scuderia 2008-08-26 08:37:15 (36 views)

they're not going to announce all of it at once - dloftis 2008-08-26 08:25:54 (35 views)

actually usually they do. last year for example - scuderia 2008-08-26 08:32:34 (49 views)

ding - truth 2008-08-26 08:21:36 (46 views)

I'm having difficulty seeing how a 50% resolution increase is underwhelming - dloftis 2008-08-26 07:59:36 (60 views)

Resolution is not what they need. An increase in resolution is actually bad for a smaller sensor - AdamD 2008-08-26 18:28:26 (64 views)

4752 x 3168 (15.1 MP) is just good enough to print 15.84" x 10.56" @ 300 dpi - dloftis 2008-08-27 07:00:39 (60 views)

You're probably looking at the wrong camera then. - AdamD 2008-08-27 13:29:11 (45 views)

You can make GORGEOUS prints at 13x19 or larger with a 10 MP camera. You could do 20x30. - CatOne 2008-09-04 11:25:58 (25 views)

lol - truth 2008-08-27 15:10:37 (40 views)

Bahhahaha... - truth 2008-08-26 19:24:23 (52 views)

Yes but you need to read what they did with the sensor. They may have broken that rule. - PabloX 2008-08-26 19:13:28 (55 views)

I think it's gonna be something like Moore's law - Tanner 2008-08-26 21:27:15 (37 views)

Actually, I think Moore's law as applied to image sensors will break down soon. - PabloX 2008-08-27 07:26:44 (36 views)

Apparently they've maxed out the light gathering area on that sensor. - Morbo 2008-08-27 08:28:48 (47 views)

Proof will be in the pictures. Hopefully the quality and ISO performance will be there. - truth 2008-08-27 09:05:34 (25 views)

or more efficient / sensitive photodiodes - dloftis 2008-08-27 08:52:54 (29 views)

That doesn't get you more light, but I understand your point. - Morbo 2008-08-27 09:03:42 (30 views)

I can't say I understand the physics behind this, but answer is simple - scuderia 2008-08-27 08:24:12 (35 views)

Yes, definitely. - PabloX 2008-08-27 08:45:40 (28 views)

50d will probably be a great camera, and at its price, cheap as hell. But ... - scuderia 2008-08-26 08:22:26 (62 views)

Nope...the only thing underwhleming is that it's not a 5d replacement. - truth 2008-08-26 08:19:22 (55 views)

Who told you so baby? - truth 2008-08-26 06:50:27 (70 views)

Where's the 5D replacement - Tanner 2008-08-26 07:10:20 (60 views)

9D - Dan McBoost 2008-08-29 17:39:09 (17 views)

Dunno and don't really care. I have no need for a slow full frame body or cheap super zooms. - truth 2008-08-26 07:23:16 (39 views)

Except it's faster than your 30D... - Kris Hansen 2008-08-26 09:10:09 (33 views)

Which is why I am looking to move from it. - truth 2008-08-26 09:11:37 (55 views)
