Looking at its specs alone, certainly the 50D’s 15.1MP sensor is sure to catch a person’s eye. Beyond that, the 50D’s burst rate of 6.3 frames per second is impressive as well, considering the amount of data the camera must move in that timeframe.
Canon’s improvements to the 50D’s LCD do not go unnoticed, either. This LCD is vibrant and its ability to display VGA resolution gives you a good feel for what your shots will look like on screen. The camera’s ISO range is noteworthy as well. While most photographers will tell you to use the lowest ISO possible, it’s certainly nice to have a range to work with, especially in low-light situations. More details and a deep dive on a few key technologies built into the 50D are next.
