I looked long and hard before replacing my Canon Rebel XT. I knew I would stay with the Canon line because I had invested in several lenses, but there were at least three choices in my price range: the 40D, the 50D or the new replacement for the Rebel XT. I opted for the 50D and have been very pleased with it. I bought UDMA cards, and the camera is lightning fast now, especially compared to my old Rebel. I like the big screen on the back, and am having fun learning all the various functions and settings. Getting a couple of good books about the 50D helps. The camera came very quickly from Adorama and it does have the North American warranty (which is important).

I got a 40D for Christmas in 2008.Great camera.With the 50D it hits 6.3 frames per second which is less than the 40D at 6.5.I got the 50D not long after it came out.Canon really improved some things on the 50D,like the Digic 4 processor,went up 5 megapixels to 15.1,shooting information on the rear LCD and more .I would recommend this camera for amateur to professional.A great camera for the money.

I went for the 50D over the Rebel series because it handles low light and high speed photography better. I can set the ISO to 3200 rather than 1600, and the shutter speed goes to 1/8000 second. What I want to know is how big a drop in print quality will result from the ISO 3200 setting. I'll be testing the shutter speed function at a local racetrack on July 3rd. The cars reach speeds of 180 MPH at the end of the straightaway. 1/8000 should freeze the action. Of course I'll slow it down a little too, for background blur. The 50D is fun to play with, but it is a bit big and heavy.
