Unprecedented great pictures:

An entirely new 15.1 Mega pixel CMOS sensor delivers ultra-detailed images. It is ideal for creative trimming and large magnifications. New manufacturing techniques and redesigned micro lenses improve the sensor's ability to collect light. This makes it possible to place multiple pixels on the sensor, without ...
... having gone beyond image quality. These enhancements ensure even lower noise and better image quality at high ISO. Photography at high speed in low light conditions is possible thanks to the ISO 3200, expandable up to ISO 12800th

EOS Integrated Cleaning System, including the improved Self Cleaning Sensor Unit with a new fluorine coating that improves image quality in the long run because it helps to reduce, repel and remove unwanted dust from the sensor. Dust, which is impossible to remove, can be automatically deleted subsequently with Dust Delete Data and Canon's included Digital Photo Professional software.

Ultra high-speed continuous shooting:

Canon's new DIGIC IV processor is so fast that the camera can record up to 6.3 fps continuous bursts of up to 90 JPEGs with a UDMA card. Canon's AF system measures a wide range and locks onto subjects with 9 individual cross type sensors. Therefore, one can, even in low light, take great action footage. This makes the EOS 50D particularly suited to sports and nature photography.

DIGIC IV works with the CMOS sensor to deliver 14-bit image files for greater color depth, providing smoother gradations and exceptionally accurate color reproduction. In addition, lightning-fast boot times and immediate viewing of images on the screen.
A new 3.0 "Clear View VGA LCD provides a wide viewing angle with lots of details, so it is possible to check the picture carefully after recording. By switching to Live View mode makes it easy for photographers to work in awkward positions or to remotely control the recording from a PC. Live View now has three types of auto focus: Quick AF, Live AF, and the new Face Detection Live AF, which focuses on the faces as the camera detects the subject.

Easy and efficient:

EOS menu system is already known to be intuitive. Now, a new Quick Control screen, for access to frequently used functions. A new creative mode automatically sets focus and exposure, while also allowing for other creative options such. Adjust depth of field.
"The EOS 50D is the obvious choice for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals and professionals looking for effective back-up camera.”No other camera in this price range offers comparable speed and image quality."
