Canon 50D on the way

I took the plunge and ordered the very newly released Canon 50D digital camera. It’s a body slightly larger than my current Digital Rebel XTi, but more robust and sporting many more features. Here’s the 50D:

Canon_50D_Back

My Rebel has now over 21 000 clicks on it, and still works great. Will the new camera make me a better photographer? Surely not… But it will make my life easier and I will enjoy many of the additional features:

  • Larger viewfinder;
  • Larger screen on the back,  with better resolution
  • Increase from 10 to 15 megapixels
  • Lower noise at high ISO sensitivity
  • Live View (rear screen active for composition, like pocket camera)
  • Spot meter
  • and many others…
