Thought of the Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera

by GoldenHammer

While most people is expecting the next FF body from Canon as replacement to Canon EOS 5D FF digital camera, Canon announced the 50D a year after the arrival of the EOS 40D. It incorporable the latest technologies and MP that is originally expected to be in the FF replacement body. Now, the new 50D looks like a replacement of the 5D except it is not with a FF sensor. The 50D comes with a lately design cropped sensor at 15MP with better performance in higher ISO ranging from 100-3200 and extendable upto 12800 (one-stop better than 5D?), DIGIC 4 image processor, better LCD, Live view and even the Face detection. Canon's Top Priority Move It seems an interesting move, but I would consider this is a necessary move as response to Nikon's recent hot cakes. Obviously, the D300 is a killer in the prosumer segment for its value - rich set features and performance. Canon's top priority is to catch-up and try to retain the share in this market segment. While I don't think the 15MP 50D is attractive enough to call switches from existing Nikon users, it will be certainly one of the very first options in new purchasers' short list. Welcome Upgrade 50D would be a welcome upgrade for cropped bodies xxD users not only its higher pixels count but also better higher ISO performance means more options for using lower speed lenses and faster shutter speed. Implications to Next FF Body? Would Canon tell us, after the obsolete 5D, the only available choice for Canon FF body is the 1Ds series? If there is one to be released soon, we are now expecting *LEAST* it would be equipped with a newly design FF sensor at *MUCH* better higher ISO performance, every new features in the 50D, and more .... :P The release of 50D brought some further interesting thoughts of the next Canon's FF body - are you expecting a 15MP FF body? (and additional 1-2 stops better higher ISO performance over the 50D) Probably not. How about a higher pixels count FF body at 2x MP? But that just leads to a direct competition with the existing 1Ds Mark III. Oh...... my next FF Canon body? I would be very interested in a "smaller" version 1Ds Mark III at 2xMP, it may go just similar to the Nikon's D3/ D700 arrangement. Canon EOS 50D Features at a glance: - 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor - ISO 100-3200, expandable to 12800 - DIGIC 4 processor - 9-point wide area AF - 6.3fps continuous shooting, max. burst 90 JPEGs - 3.0” Clear View VGA LCD with Live View mode & Face Detection Live AF - EOS Integrated Cleaning System - HDMI connection for high quality viewing and playback - Magnesium alloy body, with environmental protection
