The ideal combination of speed, quality and flexibility
The Canon EOS 50D combines many of the technologies found in Canon's professional cameras making it the perfect choice for the advanced amateur wishing to take their photography to the next level, the semi-professional, or professional looking for a powerful back up model. 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with 14-bit processing, 6.3 frames per second shooting and Canon's latest DIGIC 4 image processor provide unparalleled speed and resolution, all at an impressively affordable price point. The 3-inch Clear View LCD monitor with Live View and Face Detection Live AF Function mean it is incredibly easy to get great shots.
Fast and Focused
The EOS 50D enables continuous shooting up to 6.3 frames per second in bursts of up to 90 JPEGs with a UDMA card, or 16 14-bit RAW files. This, plus its wide-area Auto Focus (AF) system which uses nine separate focusing points to lock onto subjects fast, make it ideal for shooting sports and wildlife. As well as Manual Focus, the EOS 50D offers three auto-focus modes: One-Shot AF, ideal for static subjects such as portraits and landscapes; AI Servo, great for moving subjects and keeps following the subject with predictive tracking until you take the shot; and AI Focus, which switches from One Shot to Servo when movement is detected. The center, cross-type focus point operates flawlessly in lower-light and lower-contrast settings.
Live View Function
The EOS 50D has a 3-inch Clear View VGA LCD screen offering 160° viewing angle so it is easy to use even in bright daylight.
Switching to Live View Function enables you to view your subjects directly on the LCD monitor. It's easy to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. You can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for keeping vertical or horizontal lines in your composition straight. Live View Function can be used remotely via a computer through a USB connection, and the included EOS Utility software.
In Live View Function you can action three Auto Focus (AF) modes: Quick mode, Live Mode and Face Detection Live. Quick mode uses the camera's standard AF system and is great for capturing action or for shooting in low light. Live mode is a contrast-based AF system that reads the sharpness of subjects right from the imaging sensor, and can be overridden by pressing the AF mode selection button. The target area for Live Mode AF is at the center by default, but it can be moved around most of the picture area with the cross keys on the back of the camera. Face Detection Live optimises the focus based on the faces it detects in the frame, making it easy to capture fast spontaneous portraits.
Unlock your creativity
The EOS 50D offers a choice of shooting modes. Basic Modes control all the settings for you allowing you to concentrate on great composition. These include; Full Auto, which allows you to use the camera to 'point and shoot'; Portrait, which ensures the background is out of focus and the foreground is pin sharp; Landscape, which sets a longer exposure and a smaller aperture to capture both the foreground and background in focus, Close-up which allows you to focus on very close objects; Sports, which uses a fast shutter speed to freeze action; and Night Portrait, which increases the ISO to make the camera more sensitive to light. You can also prevent the built-in flash from popping up using the Flash Off setting (handy for shooting in Museums and galleries).
