Thanks for viewing and your kind comments, I think 50D is a very capable and impressive camera, and I really don't think there is another camera out there at 1000 dollars that can do better.
Garen
I would totally agree Garen. I have all the heavy Canon and Nikon hardware in the studio and what I am seeing from the 50D is very darn impressive. Thanks again for your contributions.

Very beautiful work. Nice to see someone who has the know how and skill give the 50D a fair break. While I am stuck in the studio taking pics of "things" I bought my 19 year son, who loves BIF stuff, a 50D and a 100-400 and he has been doing really well and loves his camera. I showed him your pics this morning and he said "Dad someday I hope to be 1/2 that talented, those are incredible". I concur on all counts, Thanks Garen.Garen

Well done! I gotta say- I like the detail and the overall IQ of the 50D better. Might be the lens
Thanks for viewing and commenting, it very well could be the lens.

Garen - some great shots here! #5 is my fav. Looks like both cameras in the right hand can produce excellent images.

Great variety, Garen. Either combo shines in your hands. Have you tried to switch lenses?

Although these are superb captures in composition, colour light etc, IMO many of these are very slightly OOF (black bird and a few others excepted) which I believe is the major problem with any of the xxD cameras in general. In AI servo they rarely nail focus spot on, the keeper rate is much lower than on the 1 series. My 40D can return impressive detail when it nails AF, too but it's not as frequent as I like for moving subjects.
50D was never going to have issues with detail although it's not that much better than the 40D...Show more →
Thanks for the look and your comments, I agree 100% with your observation 50D is not in the same league as 1DMKIII and my intention was not to suggest that it is. But, for under 1100 dollars no camera that I know of can best it. The only slight disagreement will be in comparison with 40D I believe it is noticeably better than 40D.

super series Garen....both bodies are quite capable.
I found the 50D AF to be extremely good and AI servo tracked a burst of 15 with only 1 miss. Impressive for an XXD
Thanks Dave and I hear you buddy.

Camera is one thing, Garen, photographer is another. And obviously both worked very well here. Nicely done.

DanThanks Dan, nothing out of ordinary, I used DPP to process the raw in to CS3 for posting, level, saturation, sharpening and web sizing that's all.
Garen
Well done indeed!

Nice work Garen. Hanging with Ken H Be careful, he rubs off. Next thing you know you'll be lugging an entire camera store with you on every shoot!!

Thanks Socrate, I have many shots with MK3 and 600 but none with 50D and 400DO, as matter of fact I have only used the 50D with 600 excluding test shots with my other lenses.

Great comparisons and IQ. Did you have to make any lens adjustments on the 50D? My 100-400 was recently rebuilt by Canon and even with -9 is still soft, and am not completely happy with my 600 on this camera either. Results on hairy beasts are OK but I am not happy with the lack of feather detail on little "burdies".
My only fear is that it is me, a dyslectic, half senile old fart that failed to read properly.
