Oh yaaa.
Saw that in dpreview and More specific data here. This is a more reason to be disappointed with the 5D as since 20D was out, this is the 3rd generation added with features but 5D is not updated even once... What I like about 50D is the very very fast ISO and then HDMI out put that will come very handy to show good quality images on home big creen LCD now that they are so common. Should see how the newer sensor/processor handles the noise as Canon has been second to none in creating best sensors all the time. The surprise for me is that why now that Nikon started to follow Canon's old tradition in using CCD sensors instead of noise creating CMOS, why Canon is going in Nikon's path for more expensive but less efficient sensors?

Sorry but dont know where you get the impression that canon used ccd sensors they havent use a ccd sensor since the first D1 all canon sensors are cmos as they have less noise and better colour rendition and are more expensive to make hence canon making their own.Nikon have used ccd sensors all the time until recently when they started using cmos as they are better at noise reduction then ccd. People used ccd because they were cheap also nikon use sensors made by sony apart from the new D3 i dont know who make that one.

Nikon D2X, 2005 - CMOS sensor.
Nikon also pioneered JBCAST JFET sensor which provides power efficiency, low noise and fine detail, July 2003.

So who is going to be the first one to put up a picture taken with 50D on WPF? I hate that person right from now!
![]() If you consider 10D also in two digit "D" series of Canon's DSLRs, the switch from 10D to 20D was a giant one. 20D to 30D move was just a face lift or heavy make up and nothing more. 40D to 30D was again a mutation. A giant move. 40D to 50D is again another cosmetic, economical / technical move. In reality I see no reason for owner of 40D to make the move. It even gets more attractive right now for a fresh buyer to pick up the under $1000 40D when compare to any competition, Canon or Non-Canon for an excellent updated photo capturing device. If one must be the guy with the newest tool in the block, then 50D is excellent choice around 4 to five hundred dollar higher price tag for just a little more. I guess bottom line is for Canon to assess the buyer market before the final, long waited for, announcement of new 5D that is targeted to the same population of buyer only with bigger caliber need and valet. I guess I will wait for now. Experience tells me patience is to my benefit. Either 50D's fresh price is gonna drop or new 5D is going to show up on the shelf soon...

I shall wait and see how the 50D fairs but IF IQ and noise levels at 400-1600 ISO are on par or better than the 40D I will be very interested as the extra mp's for the bird photographer gives more cropability which is almost akin to more reach.

With camera's normal range of ISO 100 to 3200, I am quit sure lower than max ISO 1600 should do well but my question is to see the IQ and noise of the amazing extendable H1 (6400) and H2 (12800) that if acceptable would come extremely handy for using those long heavy slow lenses on fast moving birds or low light situations. With Canon's always superior CMOS sensor quality compare to competition, I have a good feeling that probably that ISO H2 12800 is no poorer than many 1600s in current market made by others. But you are right. We need to wait and see.
