Hi All
As the tiltle says.... i am thinking of upgrading my current DSLR to a Canon EOS 50D and was wondering if anyone on here has got one or any experience of trying one....
look forward to your comments :)
-
I am in the process of setting up my own business as a photographer. My current camera is a Canon EOS 40D and I think it is a brilliant piece of kit.
I don't think the 50D will be much different :y
-
A few people have said that i have spoken to, i am currently using a Canon EOS 10D and a variety of lenses. I have been very pleased with the results from it and that is why i am thinking of another Canon...
-
got a Nikon D80 here, with a 18-135mm lens for main use, very happy with it. :y
-
i did look at the Nikon's but have so many lenses for the Canon that ruled them out really...

......nudge, nudge, wink, wink: say no more! ;D
Sorry; with a question like that, I couldn`t resist a 'Pythonesque' reply! ;)

You've obviously seen some of my portfolio's........ ::)

Ive got a 20D
Had a play with a friends 50D with the 18-200 IS lens
A nice combo, im very happy with what I have, and to be fair the newer one doesnt really offer me anything I NEED over what I have.
Saying that though, the 10D is quite a bit older and longer in the tooth, and would be a great upgrade.
-
I think i'm going to go into the camera shop i use and have a go with one.... then comes the hard part if i decide to upgrade.... justification to swmbo..... :o
-
I havent tried the 40D but I do know that Canon make the best CCDs :y
-

-
But did it handle well? :y

Debs we must think very much alike as until i scrolled down and read what you had written that was exactly what i was going to write(cue weird music) ;D ;D ;D.

I thought Canon bought them in?
-
I don't think many people buy on the basis of what is best technically these days unless they're first-timers. Brand loyalty counts for a lot.
I'm a Pentax diehard but that's partly because they support the lenses I bought in the 70s and 80s!
I would draw your attention to the water/dust seals on the Pentax if you shoot in adverse conditions.
Also, if you use auto-focus, Pentax lenses are very fast at doing it these days.
-
Canon do have the best all round package, excellent lenses, great bodies, good flash guns etc.
I just wish more of the digital units had the eye control focus!
-
Must admit the build quality from a Canon is by far the best i have seen... my 10D has served me well since i got it, must have been one of the first to get one when they came out, was only available on special order from Jessops then...
So will be off for a trip to the shop tomorrow if able to and have a try with the 50D...
-
In fact, one of the only reasons I ahve not upgraded to a digital SLR is the lack of a mid rnage Canon with eye control focus to replace my EOS 30!
-
That looks a mighty good spec camera for mid range....bet you are getting some excellent results with that... :y
