Nikon 50D Camera

This is my first digital SLR. I have been watching canon 50D and Nikon D90 for a long time... right now, this price is really attractive.

Got this camera and replace it for the 50D. Just love it. Perfect performance.

I like so many things about this bag! I have room for my Canon 50D, plus an 80-200mm, either on the camera or off plus three other lenses, 2 batteries and a charger, lens cleaning kit etc. I wanted a bag that would fit my camera with a battery grip and my long lens attached. I like the color and softness and the way it doesn't bounce around when I carry it. I had gotten the a little smaller bag first and will use it for short day trips when I know what I will be photographing. The clips are a little troublesome at times but I mostly just use the velcro. I still have some extra room with all the above mentioned articles thrown in...oh, and of course my manual and a field guide. It is easy to get my camera out of this bag in a hurry...all in all I am VERY satisfied with it! I like the fact that it is not black and does not look like a camera bag.

I realize the 50D is on its way out, but I adore this camera, so I felt compelled to write a review of it before it sails into the sunset. I just finished a 10 month driving trip across the entire continent of Africa (as well as Europe and a bit of Asia), and the 50D was my best friend the entire way. I had the chance to try the camera out in a wide variety of photographic situations, and here's a quick summary of my experience: * Wildlife: The camera is just fantastic for wildlife. Lightning fast fps, spot-on auto focus, and the inherent magnification factor of the APS-C sensor meant that wildlife shooting was a dream. * Landscapes: With good lenses, the image quality of landscapes is great, though of course not as good as with a full-sized sensor. But color and resolution are both excellent. * Travel / People: The LCD panel at the top of the camera instantly provides most of the information you need, and the camera has plenty of quick-access dedicated buttons. These features enable you to quickly change settings as conditions change. I have to admit that I didn't fully appreciate these features before my trip, but I can't count the number of times that I was able to get the shot because of them. * Low-light: This is the only area where I think the 50D could be better. Compared to my previous DSLR it's a revelation, but image quality at ISO 1600 and up is a bit grainy. It this is an important consideration for you, I'd recommend a full-frame camera. But image quality at ISO 800 and below is just fantastic. It's also worth mentioning that the camera is very solidly built and withstood the rigors of a very difficult trip. Overall, the 50D is a great product and perhaps still worth considering in its twilight days, so long as you don't need video and don't need stellar high-ISO quality. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

My main camera is a Canon EOS 50D. I wanted a camera small enough to fit in my pocket when I'm out walking. I also wanted to be more inconspicuous when taking photos in a restaurant (I sometimes write about food) or other places where a large camera would not be possible or convenient. The SD80 is a great little camera for the price! It is easy to operate and the manual is user friendly. I am impressed with its ability to create beautiful prints, both color and black and white. It's macro capability is excellent. The SD80 also has the option of using a grid on the monitor for those rule of third shots and making sure your horizons are level. In one of the reviews someone wrote the viewfinder is useless. I have to agree. The only Con is the zoom. Once you exceed 3x, the quality of the photo drops off considerably which you can see in the monitor. The higher the zoom the great the increase in noise. The SD80 is not replacing my EOS 50D, it's going to allow me to take more spontaneous photos because of its compact size.

I used the Green Pod with a Canon 50D and their 18-200mm zoom lens. The Green Pod is the prefect size for this camera lens combination. It is well made and easily attaches to the camera. It allows easy stabilization of the camera on nearly all surfaces, especially uneven ones. I used the device when standing up through the sunroof of a 4x4 and while shooting through an open window. I would especially recommend the Pod for safari shooting.

This is the camera I waited for 15 years for Canon to release to replace my 15MP 50D. It checks all my boxes for resolution, AE, AF, IBIS for stills and video. I bought a second one so I can carry one set-up for wildlife stills and the other for videos quickly.

THE CANON 50D IS ONE GREAT CAMER EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE VIDEO. WHICH I REALLY DON'T NEED. I USE THIS CAMERA FOR PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPE. YOU CAN'T BEAT THE THE WAY THIS CAMERA FUNCTIONS.BETTER BUILT THEN THE 60D. AND WITH THE PRICES FROM B&H YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.

I purchased this bag for my 50D with a Tamron 18-270 attached. I wanted a bag that didn't look like a camera bag to use on a trip to Europe. I can fit the camera w/lens, CF card holder, spare batteries w/charger, lens cleaning equipment, small binoculars and various cables etc and still have room to spare. It is comfortable to sling as a messenger bag or carry as a duffle. My only complaint is the two padded dividers are not easy to fit a DSLR with battery grip and lens attached. I took them out completely and it works great.

I have owned my 50D for a little over three months now. With 6 weddings plus engagement shoots and senior pictures under it's belt, I like it better each time. I have never owed a 5D or any other full frame sensor camera, or even used one to compare, so I won't even try. But, I CAN compare my resulting images to those of fellow photographers who ARE shooting with those cameras, and I feel confident putting the results this camera produces up against anything I have seen of theirs. If anything faulters in my images, it is because I lacked skill and not because of the Canon 50D. I do use Canon L Series glass, and I think that is a huge contributor. I have never had focus issues due to low light unless I was testing a lower quality lens. That's not the camera's fault. With good lenses, focus is instant and accurate. Out of focus shots are user error. At 1600 ISO there is a little noise, but not near what I expected and i can recover from that post-edit. This may be the one area a 5d Mark II will show its pro camera colors over the 50D. This camera is a very comfortable fit in my average sized hand. Controls are easy to access and there is only a small learning curve to make operating them natural and second nature. I get approximately 650 RAW images on a 16GB CF card, and if you will be shooting all day like me at events, I recommend taking along an extra fully charged battery. Until I can justify spending 2.5x the price for a 5D Mark II (or whatever takes it's place by then), this camera is fabulous and I would buy it all over again! I will be replacing my wife's camera with a 50D very soon as well!
