New 50d Test Shots...

Explored.. Thank all! Highest position #316 on January 9, 2010

 

So I picked up another body to go along with my 40d. I purchased a 50d with 300 clicks on it. Not sure if it is a major upgrade, but it definitely has some advantages. Some definitely worth the small upgrade to me..Plus for the price, I couldn't go wrong...

 

The biggest to me being the LCD screen. Although the same size(3") the resolution is far superior on the 50d. The 40d has a resolution of 230,000dots and the 50d has a resolution of 920,000 dots. It is quite amazing. Especially with the special glare coating put onto the 50d screen. File size is a bit bigger with the 50d being 15.1 megapixels versus 10.1. Another big thing is that the 50d has micro focus adjustment which the 40 does not.

 

The 40d is an amzing body and many people feel it is better then the 50 and not worth the small upgrades. I will be keeping my 40 for a while till I get some good time in with the 50d. So far I have only taken a handfull of snaps which I have been very impressed with. I will be bringing both bodies with me out to California so I can have one tri-pod mounted for long exposures and the other for handheld sunsets...
