A lot of unhappy 50D owners in dpreview forums right now. They are asking for a re-test.
50d flops...![]()
i used my friends, and honestly i dont think its worth the upgrade. it does get pretty muddy. at iso1600-3200. i mainly shoot at 1600 and my images seem contrastier and sharper than his. He actually got kinda pissed. Its nominal yes but still true. AF is not faster, feels heavier, if "I" were to spend the money i would buy a used 5d. but i already have two 40ds and a mkii. I love, love the screen though.
Ah.
Well thats a shame.
I will admit that actually everyone I know with a 50D didnt own a 40D previously![]()
The review's conclusion said that the high ISO and DR is not as good as the 40D's. Few people shit a brick and called for a re-test with a better lens, etc etc.Really? What are they unhappy about?
Canon is selling 40d and 50d together (I'm 99% sure about this), in which case 40D would be the next step up.Is the 50D the next step from 450D/XSi Rebel?

I have no experience with dpreview or the 50D, but to eliminate any bias I never trust a single source for a product review.
As an example, my company sells Ricoh office products. 90% of the reviews I can find on this model rate it with capabilities far beyond what it can really do and also place it in a category in which reality has it far out classed. We've had a number of very pissed customers due to them just jumping in on buying it instead of comparing it with what they need.
Its sorta sad, but I'm betting the reviewers never even operated that model and likely only read some product material that always hypes up anything (still talking about the printer here.)
15mp sensor vs 10.1mp, High res screen vs. standard 3" screen, Micro lens adjustment in 50D but not 40D.
Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.
