Observations:
-) the 50D image (15mp) does not have more detail than the 450D image (12mp)
-) the 50D image is softer than the 450D image
-) the 50D image (15mp) has less detail than the 5D image (12mp)
Unfortunately, this is totally expected.
People see 15mp and think big prints and room for cropping.
The reality, though, is that 15mp on a CROP camera ( ) is beyond the resolving power of most commercial lenses.
So, these 15mp give you nothing more than empty magnification (aka digital zoom) over 12mp (but 12mp does reolve more than 10mp).
Also take a look at the samles for the K20D (14mp) and A350 (14mp) on the Imaging Resourse web site. Both cameras do not have more detail than the 12mp 450D.
Disclaimer: these observation is based on CROP camera resolution of 15mp.
A FF equivalent would be ~30mp.
