First Harvest - test of Canon 50D
OK, I bought this used Canon 50D in preparedness of my trusty old 20D to die (don't tell it though, it's been a faithful companion for around 17 years, and still clicking away!) Why a 50D you may ask...it's a 2008 camera! Well, for starters, it's 3 generations newer than my 20D, twice the megapixels, has a larger LCD screen in the back, ergonomically it's very identical to the 20D, and it still has that wonderful magnesium alloy body that went away after the 50D. So, I made up my mind that a 50D would be my replacement of choice. And now the great part, it only has around 47xx clicks on the shutter and it cost me a whopping $189 dollars. To look at it, you would say it looks brand new. (bought it from MPB)
Of course, new looking is great, but I had to do some tests with both my fast Tamron lens (above shot) and with my Canon 24-105L. So far, things are looking good!
And BTW, the produce above is from our garden and the larger eggplant in the back was eggplant parmigiana, tonight's dinner!
