Canon EOS 50D : 15-Megapixel Prosumer DSLR Is First With Digic 4 Processor

Canon EOS 50D is probably not the DSLR was praying that are made available at Photokina, but it does fill a gaping hole in its alignment between the low-end prosumer 40D and semi-pro 5D.

The 15-megapixel shooter is its first digital SLR with DIGIC 4 processor, which has a new light some oriented tricks up its sleeve, like the lens correction lighting-correcting peripheral light fall on the edges of the - lens and can brighten more automagically things, like pretty expensive (and ugly, if you really want).

As you can crank speed ISO 12800-up Canon's highest-yet presumably their noise reduction capabilities are enormous, especially since Nikon has succeeded in making noise in the new battleground in prosumer and digital SLR higher level.

Other basic specifications:
• 14 - bit conversion rate
• 6.3FPS bursts (up to 90 JPEG with UDMA CF card or 60 w / a normal, 16 RAW)
• three-inch screen dot 920000 w / 160 degrees viewing angle
• Nine cross-type focus points as 40D
• HDMI
• same cleaning system as 40D, but with fluoride powder coating for better resistance
• 100,000 cycle shutter

New features:
• Live View has a dedicated button, not buried in menus deeper 700
• Auto-focus micro-adjustment, which saves optimizations focus lenses for a leak of pro cameras
• creative automatic mode, consumer-and a nice feature that dumbs down picture style settings and exposure compensation in plain English using a sliding scale (ie, greater openness with a depth of field would be called "fund blurrier" , You get the idea)

Body only will go for $1399. And yes, they've got a new 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens (as rumored), which will be $699. They both drop in October.
