After more than a month with my new 50D I am happy to announced that I am pleased with the upgrade. For a better and longer review please click on the link above.
I have been very happy with my previous 30D but nevertheless it was time to upgrade and when the 50D was announced,I jump at it. There's a huge debate now going on about noise and IQ of the 50D compared to the 40D. I feel expectations are too high for every replacement model, that newer technology in it have improved by leaps and bounds. They will be disappointed with their new equipment and complain a lot about it if they don't perform to their unrealistic expectations. Personally, I don't care too much about shooting high ISO,I hardly go over 800ISO and at that level of course it beats the 30D and at 15mp I can blow it big or cropped generously. The 3in LCD with increase resolution is great for a quick review. Included is Micro Focus Adjustments for individual lens and I don't have to worry about getting sending lens for calibration. Those few improvements alone is enough reasons for me to upgrade.
