Photo of the Canon EOS 50D

The cam feels a lot like the 40D to hold, but it's a tad easier to grip. It's got a screen that's easier to read, they like the tweaked user interface, the new "creative fully automatic" CA mode, and the 6.3 fps shooting speed (there's an audio file of the cam in action here.) None of that is a surprise, given the evolution heritage of the camera.

Wow. That ISO 1600 shot is ridiculously clean!

Instead of a battery icon, why don't they show a % indicator instead?

Here's a review of the camera with several sample photos. According to DPReview, the external dimensions are identical to the 40D.

I was looking at that and thought it was just a 40D...knowing it obviously wasn't, but still looked close to identical.

Less noise at higher light sensitivity.

Yeah, but for the difference in price?
