"I've owned a 1D, 30D, 40D, Rebel XT, Rebel Xti and I currently own a 5D as well as my 50D. This 50D is the BEST camera I've ever owned. I say this with the understanding that I use my 50D as my "2nd" body (my 5D is primary because of it's full-frame capability).

The 50D is my favorite because of it's superior speed, ease of use, low noise and the ability to use batteries and grip from my 40D. The new CMOS allows for brighter and more complete photos.

What has impressed me are the obvious advances made in Canon's whole line of Pro DSLRs offered at reasonable prices. I've found that Canon offers innovative and cost-effective products for a photographer at any level of expertise, from newbie to expert/professional.

I read the previous review of the 50D. From the sound of that person's issues with his camera, it appears he bought a "lemon". This happens with even the most carefully manufactured product. So, keep an open mind when considering the 50D. After all, my experience was the absolute opposite of that of the other reviewer's, for this fact alone, you need to have an open mind when considering this camera.

All in all, I highly and enthusiastically recommend the Canon 50D. I don't believe you will ever regret your decision to purchase it."

Taken w/ my 50D & my Canon 24-70mm F/2.8 L lens

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
