I don't want to be repetitive with the review of the body, since many others explained how amazing the body is...
To really get the best out of the extra MP's of the 50d, assuming that is one of your goals, this camera demands great lenses. The best zoom lens for this camera is clearly the 70-200mm f4 IS. Tremendous value and a perfect match for the 50d, ultra sharp, relatively small and compact considering its zoom range. At f4 (wide open) its ultra sharp...out of focus area is gorgeous...have a look, hand held with 50d at 200mm f4...

A shorter fl zoom and this lens makes an amazing 1-2 punch. I am not crazy about any of the lower fl zooms, as the shorter fl's are much harder to produce razor sharp optics, but the 17-55 f2.8 IS is a nice complementary lens with the 70-200...its good, but due to its shorter fl, not in the league of the 70-200 IS f4.0.

I purchased a 50D because I do a fair amount of bird photography, and I thought that the additional pixel count in this camera would yield better images, and also allow for more cropping room. While the images were very good, they really weren't any better than those I have taken with my 40D. I was also disappointed with the high ISO performance of the 50D, as I thought the 40D was just as good or better.
Even so, the 50D is still a very good camera. If you are upgrading from a 10, 20, or 30D, you will notice substantial improvement in features and better image quality. If you have a 40D, I think it becomes tougher to justify the upgrade. In the end, I decided to return my 50D and take advantage of Amazon's excellent return policy.

Nothing sucks more than hindsight. And hindsight, you see, requires time and experience.
In my case, Time means a few months, and experience means I bought a 40D.
Does this camera just ROCK!!!??? Is it AWESOME!!!??? Don't you just LOVE IT!!!???
GREAT! I will never know. My 40D makes me money, takes good stuff, works with my legacy glass, and makes me happy. But this whole 15.1MP-brighter-LCD-"oooh-I-just-love-my-50D" thing makes me sick. All the people saying "it not sharp!" and " what the big deal?" make me happy! Make me feel I made a GOOD choice...
Sigh. Jealousy is ugly, isn't it?
I was holding out of a 5D at one point. I have a buncha L series glass, full-frame, all that. Now what's next? Can't do the 1D - I'd have to sell my kids (wait! No...).
Ah, well. The 40D doesn't exactly suck, and this was inevitable. Shoot many, shoot well, and shoot beautifully, my friends. I'll catch up next time...

I just upgraded from a Rebel XTi. I absolutely love my XTi, but I needed a little more. To see the kind of work I shoot, go to www.flickr.com/photos/waterbubblz
This camera is everything canon promises. Though I've read every review on here religiously, and read about the errors some have received, I have not had any issues with this. I have tried it with both my 50mm 1.8 (BUY this lens, btw) and Macro 60mm 2.8. Outstanding results.
Highly recommended!

I got this to evaluate against an EOS 1D Mk II N pro body. Bottom line, I am selling my EOS 1D Mk II N and keeping the 50D.
