Rita Berkowitz - 26 Aug 2008 12:38 GMT Really! I think Canon is going to have a winner with this one. I hope they make this much of an improvement on the 5D replacement. My only wish is Canon should drop that stupid print button they have on the 50D, it looks so amateurish. I'm so glad I didn't get rid of my Nikkor/EOS adapters!!

Look at those red roofs: all "plastified". > I'm sure tiles look just like that... I'm really not convinced this is a byproduct of the dSLR/sensor as it looks more likely to be poor quality glass. I agree that the terracotta shingles should be popping to life. Let's hope that Canon introduces some improved glass to take advantage of these new bodies.

Let's hope so. Not holding my breath at the moment, but I'll gladly wait until the first formal reviews are in.

Granted, it doesn't look and have that natural film look that Nikon produces, but it is still acceptable for the price and targeted segment the camera was designed for.

Looking at the full-size pics the noise on the front fender is a bit obtrusive - ok it's at 1600, but from the hype I was hearing I expected the 1600 performance to be better.

Please use an appropriate newsgroup for postings on digital cameras. One of the following groups would be a good place for such postings:

Richard - 27 Aug 2008 03:02 GMT Honestly, it looks like what it is, a 15 megapixel 40D, which looks like the 30D, which is of course is the 20D...

That seems to sum it up, but that was the old Canon. I'm being optimistic on this one and hoping they break away from tradition.

The only two features that stand out for me compared to my 40D is the added megapixels and the individual lens focus calibration adjustment. The LCD is said to have higher resolution, but I never found the 40D lacking in that area. The 50D doesn't interest me as a much as the 7D or whatever the next full-frame model will be.

Nor anyone else in the market for a full-frame. The focus calibration thing is nice, like Pentax they are agreeing that there are focus issues with some lenses. Once you use a real VGA lcd, you'll hate the old ones.
Dimitris M - 28 Aug 2008 01:09 GMT :-) You have right. I feel that Canon, after the 20D the only new camera have made is the 5D

Things will be leveling off soon. At least the D700 is groundbreaking in the sense that it offers superior FF performance in a pro body at a bargain basement price. This is a great time to buy more glass. Let us all stock up on some sweet Nikkors!

These are not 50D images. You can bet London to a brick on that!
Offering up unsubstantiated EXIF data that the images doesn't have as some sort of proof it came from an experimental camera is pure genius (NOT!)
Why on earth would a Chinese site offer pictures of a European countryside to (supposedly) demonstrate an experimental camera?
More Canon knitting. - Pulling the wool over the eyes of the gullible and there are no more gullible than worshippers of EOS.

So let me guess; you buy a 50D, gush all about it for a couple of weeks, buy a D90, and then tell us what crap the 50D is until the next round of cameras?
