Both cameras are a fine piece of kit, but the 50D has a strong edge. The demand for the 50D has been huge over on our site, and the feedback we have had from our customers has been very strong.

Of course, it is the man (or woman) behind the camera who makes the picture though

With all due respect to everyone else’s opinion… All (ALL) reviews available on line comparing the 40D x 50D describes why the 50D is undeniably a better piece of equipment. If you invested on the 40D and are happy with it, great. After all, this is what matter. Me? Well, I’m going with the 50D and all it’s improvements. Great shooting everyone!

Dont get tempted in exchanging your 40D camera for a 50D. The 40D is just as good and the difference in specs you will probably would not use that often anyway

I’d be all pissed, since I just invested in a 40D a couple months ago, but those specs aren’t making me clamor for a new camera. I doubt many of the photos I take will ever even take advantage of the 10 megapixels I have now – not much cropping, and no poster-sized prints.

Richard – nah, I’m perfectly happy with the Canon 40D! Donncha

I completely understand! I’m waiting for the 1D Mark IIIn before I upgrade from my 1D Mark II.

You could always return it . Better to get what you truly want rather than just settling.

And one has to remember – my Canon EOS 350D does the same job it did for me when I bought it.

The one who makes the images is me. And I can do it just as well with an old filmcamera from the 60’s as long as I have control over it (and I just did, with an old Yashica J-7). Personally, I’ve sold of all my af-lenses (except for the Canon EF 50/1.8 II) to replace them with manual focus ones to put on my DSLR, as I discovered I often like the old ones better.

What? You got a 40D?

Congratulations – I hope you have fun with it.

I looked at the 50D spec. I’m not impressed at all. Yeah, 5 extra MP would be nice, but not spectacular.
