Overview

The Canon EOS 50D is a mid-range digital single-lens reflex camera announced in 2008, designed for advanced amateur photographers. It features a 15.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, delivering high-resolution images with improved noise reduction and color accuracy. The camera supports an ISO range from 100 to 3200, expandable to 12800, allowing for versatile shooting in diverse lighting conditions.

The 50D offers 6.3 frames per second continuous shooting with a 12-bit RAW format compatible buffer, enhancing its performance for action and sports photography. Its 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor with Live View mode facilitates precise composing and reviewing of images. The included EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens provides a versatile zoom range with Image Stabilization to reduce blur caused by camera shake.

Additional technical features include a pentaprism optical viewfinder with approximately 95% frame coverage and 0.95x magnification, 9-point autofocus system with all cross-type sensors, and compatibility with Canon’s extensive range of EF and EF-S lenses. The 50D supports SD/SDHC memory cards for storage. This model represented a significant improvement over its predecessor in processing speed, image quality, and build.
