Breaking all my rules, and several months into using the EOS 50D, I can only say that it’s a wonder.

Even I had no trace of dust, noise or almost even at ISO 1600. I still can’t criticize it in any way which is strange for such an expensive camera (there should always something to bitch about).

Not long ago I said i was going to talk about the different lenses for the camera, but apart from not remembering all the leses I have used so far, many of them borrowed, it seems that the price is crucial and is in direct relation to the quality .

There is no doubt that this is  not a very thorough analysis but you must excuse,  I am sure you will find sites, where they analyze a lot better than I do. In regards of ways to customize the camera to tell you the truth I am still making some adjustments, but the results are spectacular.

It’s like having several cameras in one, and of course being able to adjust them  to your wishes. I would say how I’ve customized, but I think it is something very personal to each user and what I may like others may not, and I don’t want to start a discussion about it.

On the bad side I would mention that Canon seems to have skipped the quality control check for each camera, so I would recommend buying it only in places where you know you can return a faulty product within a sensible amount of days or else, stay in the store trying everything until you make sure everything is OK.

Finally make sure you update your Canon EOS 50d’s Firmware to get the latest fixes and updates of your camera.

Here are some videos about the Canon EOS 50D:

Canon hs released a new firmware version for the Canon EOS 50D, improving sime minor glitches that the camera had.

These are the improvementes of this EOS 50D new Firmware :

1. Corrects a phenomenon in which an image becomes overexposed when C.Fn.II-3 Highlight tone priority is set to “1″ together with other camera settings. (This correction has already been incorporated in the Version 1.0.2 and later firmware.
2. Corrects a rare phenomenon in which “busy” blinks on the camera’s display panel and the shutter cannot be released due to the timing of battery installation.
3. Corrects a rare case in which “Err 99″ appears on the camera’s display panel and LCD monitor and the shutter cannot be released due to the timing of pressing the shutter button.

As you can see there aren’t any major changes to the camera but if Canon has decided to release a new Firmware so soon it means that they are busy improving the camera’s software capabilities and that they’s keep us up to dat with new frequent Firmware releases for the Canon EOS 50D.

This new Firmware can be downloaded from HERE

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: at First Sight

Announced just a couple of weeks ago, the EOS 5D Mark II from Canon is undoubtedly one of the stars of this year’s Photokina. Its high resolution of 21 megapixels, the increased sensitivity to ISO 25600 and incorporating new features such as video recording are the main weapon in this SLR full format to avoid losing ground to new competition. Cologne. Finally the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is not a mere speculation or rumor, but a fact

It was a fleeting encounter with a preproduction unit on the Rhine. Too short to draw broad conclusions yet, but enough to capture some of the impressions that transmits this SLR range of professional hands.. The built of the new Mark II does seem to have any primary flaw.. Even more so if, as in this case, one has the possibility to see the magnesium alloy chassis that has helped to conceive this body. Canon EOS 5D Mark II, chasis In fact, official data claims that the stamping and sealing of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has been improved to make it more resistant to inclement weather conditions, to dust and water than its predecessor. Obviously, only time can corroborate this promise. Canon EOS 5D Mark II, chasis As times change and new functions of the latest generation appear they have disrupted the main menu on the camera, but not the majority of switches and button configuration, this digital camera counts with a generous supply and they are well distributed throughout the body. Canon EOS 5D Mark II All this inspite of the overwhelming display that has grown to 3 inches, in relation to the 2.5 that its predecessor the Canon EOS 5D had. Canon EOS 5D Mark II Apart from the very few external differences in comparison to the previous model, it also draws attention to the apparent similarity between the EOS 50D Mark II and the Canon EOS 5D, even more so if you are armed to the additional hilt. 98% vision It wouldn’t be fair if we said that the Canon EOS 5D Mark II brings few improvements to the previous model, taking into account what the EOS 5D Mark II houses inside it. Still, there are some points where three years of evolution have not really meant a significant change. . Canon EOS 5D Mark II One of the clearest is, for example, the viewer. Excellent in coverage and bright, her leap of 96% to 98% may seem a small step especially comparing it with similar models of other brands as both the Nikon D3 and the Sony A900 boast a 100% vision. Fair or not the Canon EOS 50D Mark II is a step behind in this sense. Something similar happens with the shooting speed of 3.9 frames per second. The sound of the blast is impeccable and his timing-is-probably more than enough for most users there are done with this model. It is true that the EOS 5D already shooted 3 frames per second, but the fact remains that the resolution has now risen from 13 to 21 million pixels. However, the problem comes from the always uncomfortable comparisons, and that is that the young A900 is capable of moving its 24-megapixel to 5 frames per second. Canon EOS 5D Markl II Video Comparisons aside, there are three pillars of the EOS 5D Mark II: its high resolution of 21 million pixels, the new processor DIGIC IV, who dares with a maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400 and forced values of up to ISO 25,600, and more of them all: the ability to record movies. Canon EOS 5D Mark II The first two, we fear that much is still difficult to speak, as the model tested is not final and photographs obtained can neither run nor taken as a reference for the performance of the camera. Yes we can, instead, discover how the video recording on the Mark II’s system is almost identical to that proposed by the Nikon D90 ( comaprison ) and very simple in its operation.

Just turn on Live View- just like in the EOS 50D- and click the Set button in the center of the rear wheel. A red signal on the screen then tells us the start of the recording.

Two aspects set it apart comparing it with the Nikon D90: the resolution of the video (of 1920 x 1080 points, ie Full HD) and the operation of the automatic focus by contrast during the recording of the sequences.

Be careful!! because the final size of the file can give you a scare. A 4-GB card, for example, will serve for about 12 minutes of video quality and maximum resolution.

Canon EOS 5d Mark II New Landscape

It clearly fulfills what it most promises and all in itself is a very solid camera, with a myriad options. But long waiting times to produce expectations that are not always fulfilled.

Recent changes in the market, the emergence of new competitors, with the resurgence of Nikon and Sony’s claims, and the resolute commitment of Canon by combining sensitivity and resolution drawn a picture really interesting and a new challenge for this reflex.

These are the leaked specifications of the new Canon cameras, the powerful 5D Mark II and, somewhat the more humble, Canon 50D. Both dSLR cameras would be displayed or announced at the Photokina in late September.

The Canon 5D Mark II will have a 16.7 MP resolution sensor and a Full Frame, a single DIGIC III image processor, sensitivity of ISO 100 to 3200 (is 50 and may force until 6400), a 3-inch OLED screen , EF mount lenses (not to be confused with EF-S), 11 auto focus points, 35 areas of measurement, a speed capture of between 6 and 8 frames per second depending on the grip, the OVF has a coverage of 96% with an increase of 0.72, and promises a better seal against inclement weather

The “small” Canon 50D shares the specifications of his sister, except that its sensor is smaller (APS-C), reaches its maximum resolution 12.2 MP, has mount EF and EF-S, and its coverage has OVF 100% with an increase of 0.95. Finally the two chambers will have options kits with lenses 24-70mm f/2.8L IS and 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 IS.

The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it’s a much nicer package.

Esta semana la recordaré como aquella en la que compré mi nueva cámara de fotos, una Canon EOS 50D que amplía el círculo de posibilidades creativas. Si miramos hacia atrás, sólo tres años, en esa época tenía una CANON Powershot G2 y pensaba que no había nada mejor. Desde entonces, un dineral en objetivos y todo tipo de cachibaches y un hobby que ha pasado a ocupar gran parte de mi tiempo libre. Supongo que pronto se verán fotos tomadas con la nueva cámara por aquí. Además de este Sucesos extr
