Canon EOS 50D preview

Canon's EOS 50D is the company's latest semi-professional DSLR. It comes one year after the popular EOS 40D, but doesn't replace it - as yet anyway. Both models appear almost identical externally, but the new 50D features a 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor backed-up by the latest DIGIC 4 processor. In reaction to Nikon's D300, the sensitivity has been boosted to 12800 ISO, the screen resolution increased to VGA / 920k dots, and an HDMI port fitted for HD slideshows; Live View now also includes contrast-based AF and face detection options. The 50D is due in the shops later this month, but ahead of our full review we have a preview detailing its new features and comparing its capabilities against key rivals. Find out how it measures-up in our Canon EOS 50D preview. Read More
