I had the same issue after my 50D came back from canon themselves! Scared the crap outta me before i realised the tech must be semi-blind - with a full +2 adjustment!

I see that comment a bit, but have yet to see that it is true. Never have any trouble with noise on my 50D (i think the owners thread goes into better detail). At the end of the day tho, people make pictures, not the camera. So get what you can justify. It will be much more down to your [the...

The 1.8 is indeed fantastic for its price and was considering the 1.4 version for the USM, as i find my copy is about 50% hit rate for the autofocus - and the manual focus is a little hard to get spot on. For the price though it is very hard to beat. And the question is really around the extra...

Good points there and the reasons (which i forgot) which i went for the 50D over the 40D (and the 60D even). One point to make tho, can you get a "much better lens" for the difference of the 40D to 50D? im not sure i can think of many.

Personally i would go with the 50d (i am a little bias). One of the points with digital isnt just the sensor but the software behind it all. And the 50D has newer image processing which will be handling things better in general than the 40D (i have also used a 400D which uses the same sensor as...

I got this lens when i bought my 50D about 6 months back. I love it, so sharp, even wide open. Although just like Moos3h, most of my shots are over the 25mm range towards the 40 end and i do find myself wanting more range quite a bit of the time. If i could afford it i would keep it and...

Nah, it wasn't that. It all back now from canon, fixed under warranty. I must send a mail and ask what the report was.

:( Seems my 50d is having a hissy fit and the rear LCD is no longer working. Can still use everything else, but having it constantly connected to my pc to view preview/live view limits me somewhat! We'll see what the retailer says, anyone else had this issue?

Just done a power drain reset (taken both batteries out powered on to drain). No joy either, guess a proffessional checkup is in order.

thought it might be something like that, but have tried every combination of button i can. Still nothing (multiple info presses - holding it in too). :(

Hi I was just taking some shots on my 50D and the rear LCD is no longer working!! Just wandered if anyone has had a similar issue and managed to resolve it, before i send an email to the retailer! My situation was - tripod, remote release (hahnel HRC280), Live view. Took picture on...

It arrived yesterday nice and prompt! Outstanding condition! advertised at 6k actuations - actually only 5750! Must say that this is such a solid feeling piece of kit. So much more of a "real" camera than the 400d im used to. My hand actually fits completely on the grip! Performance (useage)...

Hey My new 50d will arrive next week. Got a good deal on a used one from MPB photographic! Can ditch the borrowed 400D i've been using for about 6 months now! Hoping to really get into taking more pic's now i dont have to wait around to use someone elses - looks a load of peeps in this...

Cool, that's reassuring. Might give it a go then given the potential savings.

Hi Just though it ask this question as im having trouble pinning down information on the subject. I am considering buying a 7D on import and was wandering, besides the warrenty issues, what (if any) are the physical differences? will it all be in a different language or have different...
