just released onto Canon's website is the Canon EOS 50D! i was very
interested in photography, i love taking pictures and have only been
using point n shoot cameras. i know a few people who were or are still
in the photography field/hobby. before this news came out i was looking
at the 40D but with the upgrades in features and specs, i've finally
made my choice! now i just can't wait for the introduction for the
packages for this.

New
15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with improved noise reduction, wide range
ISO 100-3200 (H1: 6400, H2: 12800), 14-bit conversion for smooth color
tones and gradations.



The EOS 50D features a newly-designed
15.1-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor which is capable of recording up
to 4752 x 3168 pixels with full 14-bit A/D conversion for extremely
fine tonal gradation. Ready to capture images in an instant, the sensor
is designed to work with Canon's EF and EF-S lenses with a conversion
factor of 1.6x. It's capable of recording at sensitivities previously
too noisy for shooting in low light or subjects in motion. With a
maximum ISO rating of 12800 combined with a 4-level High ISO speed
noise reduction function, images that would have been impossible
without the use of a strobe or flash become simple to record.
