So why should I ? There's no free lunch anywhere on earth. However, as per my rating EOS 50D is a highly convenient prosumer camera and I realize it more and more with its use (already used it one year and counting). My entry level EOS 450D is also a great camera but it's aging. Probably I'll buy another 50D as replacement when it finally expires. Same time I want to stress that the other 2 prosumer bodies (7D and 60D) are more of headache than fun.

I had been using 450D for little more than one year and am still very happy with it. However, as I craved some more power being a nature and wildlife shooter, I examined the 50D. After scrutinizing a number of reviews; I decided to purchase it which I did on 12May10. I’m really happy that I did. I did put the camera through its paces and it lived upto its promises. Especially the burst rate and high ISOs are great benefits. The Digic 4 is another great advancement. In all EOS 50D is a decent camera for the prosumers particularly those who are wildlife/sports shooters. It’s a mistake to expect this camera to produce IQ and ISO performance like 5DMkII. The price difference is more than double. Despite all that, 50D is a better outdoor camera than 5DMkII and much faster in burst. What more can wildlife/sports shooters expect?

Both companies make outstanding gear. That said...I shot for many years with Nikon, my last being the excellent F4s. Yep, last. When I "went digital" I switched to Canon. I'm not going to debate it here but I will say that for ME and my style of shooting, the Canon won hands down and I haven't looked back in the two years since I've been using their stuff. The bodies are great and the lenses are AMAZING. (Note: the only non-L lens I have is the terrific EF-S 10-22) Just check out Soumen Nath's comments above, they speak volumes. Regardless, it's still the person behind the lens that makes the image. Some of the most famous images were created with utter crapola by todays "standards" but that doesn't make them any less powerful/beautiful/significant... So the real questions are: Does it fit YOU and YOUR style? Does it have noise that you can live with? Will it help YOU create the images that YOU want to create? In the end, it's all about YOU and what works best to create what you want to show the world. Tracy, I don’t think you would have a problem with either… Both companies make outstanding gear.

D300 is more expensive and does have an edge in the final performance. It is weather poof too. But then 50D comes with 15MP resolution, larger sensor, Digic-4 processor, ISO-12800 and the extensive canon service facilities network. This is my first Canon. I have used traditional SLRs, all from Nikon. So wish me good. Regards Soumen My choice was between Nikon D300 (12.3 MP)and the Canon 50D(15.2 MP).

I have yet to explore the various possibilities, but so far its an amazing leap from my earlier Nikon 5700. With the 50D, I have shot at ISO 1600, IS0 2000 etc. The results are unbelievable.....the noise is nothing as compared to what I have experienced before.

Nice crisp LCD. Nice noise handling as well, even at ISO3200 with HTP on ... really really usable. People, stop reading reviews and get yourselves the real thing ... you wouldn't believe how amazing this thing is :) Hey, I got the 50D (recent upgrade from 30D), and can tell you guys it really worth every thing.

It is my first DSLR. I agree with everyone about getting out and holding cameras before buying. I began shopping for a DSLR before the 50D was out. I held the 40D several times at my local BestBuy and it just felt right. I waited to buy because I knew the 50D was going to be available in a few months. I ordered my 50D from Amazon. This camera is easy to use and takes great photos! Thank you for a great review! I got a 50D w/ the 28-135mm lens about 2 weeks ago. It is my first DSLR.
