Nikon & Canon Digital Cameras

Canon broke with its tradition of improving the series each few months, introducing the EOS 50D just few months from the introduction with the 40D. The move has helped Canon catch up with the Nikon D300, which made quite a splash inside the market. With the same rugged, conservative physique as the 40D, the Canon EOS 50D's unique distinguishing mark is the silver bezel on its mode dial. You can find a few minor variations to how the buttons and controls are used, although for the most portion the Canon 50D's entire body is the same...

 

...It's internally where you will definitely discover the Canon 50D's significant changes. 1st may be the new 15.1-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, a significant upgrade from the 40D's 10-megapixel sensor. Major changes to the design of your microlens choice too as towards the sensor alone currently have truly a reduced sensor noise even though the improve in resolution. The change has allowed Canon to offer a greater range of ISO settings than the firm has ever provided, ranging from ISO 100 to three,200, plus two substantial settings: H1 is equivalent to ISO six,400 and H2 takes the camera to 12,800.
Canon's new DIGIC 4 processor can be a portion from the equation, moving the extra information at a quicker pace than its predecessor, and preserving the camera to a high 6.3 frames per second while maintaining that 14-bit information for RAW images (this can be a slight speed drop from the 40D's 6.5 fps)!
The Canon 50D also has a brand new look to its menu, and a Fast Control system works off the previously neglected Multi-controller, generating swift variations to commonly utilised functions less difficult to execute. Other software enhancements consist of a brand new vignetting correction, Automatic Lighting Optimizer with three levels, adjustable noise reduction, a Creative Auto mode, a lens micro adjustment function, and face detection autofocus in Live View mode.
Last but not least, the Canon EOS 50D has a a lot improved LCD screen that offers 920,000-dot resolution, making for a 640x480 display, finally putting the 50D on par with some of its key competitors.
