1. Optical viewfinder: The truly creative SLR photography is the ability to focus manually. Who wants to work for macro, telephoto or portrait shots with a bright lens with a targeted shallow depth, will not beat around. This requires an optical viewfinder that shows the eye truly reliable, where the focus is currently sitting. The offering, the EOS 50D/40D with their interchangeable focusing screens. The mini-DSLR, when it is the Canon EOS 500D/450D etc. (but also applies to other manufacturers) is missing from brightness reasons this crucial focusing aid. And Liveview magnification with the sharpness control can only inanimate objects and solid camera support (tripod, use bean-bag, etc.). In short: Who wants to shoot really creative, should have to decide because of the viewfinder on the EOS 50/40D instead of the smaller EOS 500/450D.
2. Expensive cheaper 40D or 50D?
- Who has a collection of lenses, especially Fremdobjektive including, for the following professional features interesting feature is the 50D: With the camera can be readjusted systematic Fehlfokussierungen the autofocus. This has been going with a razor blade attached to the wall with a sharp printed image of a glossy magazine (still is better a "Siemens star"). It builds on the camera with a tripod and takes up about a sharpness Liveview series, in which one image by image, the adjustment of the AF focus point of the lens gradually shifts. The best setting is then stored in the camera. The 50D is able to memorize the individual settings of up to 20 lenses. Doing well, but is unfortunately no magic cure for the erratic work of some vague older AF micro-motors.
- Image quality. For the 40D, I have no comparison, but the EOS 450D, which I've shot thousands of photos. She is brilliant with its 12-megapixel sensor, a sophisticated reference. I shot with two cameras, for example as a comparative test series by a very patient-friendly as snowy owl. Developed from RAW to show the images of the EOS 50D actually even more fine detail in the delicate feather structures. The result is truly impressive. For JPEGs, you can see, however not much difference between the two cameras. Unfortunately, the JPEG engine vermatscht the 50D such as the 450D has the finest setting subtle details, that's the price of compression. But here I grumble at high levels. Therefore, a deduction of points would be extremely unfair.
- High-resolution LCD screen. Compared to the 450D, the screen resolution as I know the 40D represents a huge profit. This is especially true when focusing on Liveview with magnification. Disadvantage: Together with the powerful processor (Digic 4) he sucks in a lot of use the battery runs out quickly, which falls mainly in relation to long-distance runners 450D. The purchase of a second battery is essential.
3. Lenses: Who buys a Ferrari, do not screw off Polo tires. This also applies to a 50D, whose enormous sensor resolution required for good lenses, or one uses the camera does not really get off. Blur and chromatic errors seen at the "Pixel-Peeping", to which such a camera inevitably seduces without mercy. In this regard, I would be wary of such mega-zoom lenses such as the 50D offered as a kit for the EF-S 18-200 IS. First, Canon can not nullify the laws of physics, and secondly, in my experience the cheap kit lenses from Canon is not really good (the exception proves the rule). Better a good, fast lens with a smaller zoom range as Immerdrauf buy "and by and by a few specialists (eg, lenses) to do so.
Conclusion:
- Demanding hobby canonists have no ambitions to be on the video-50D much joy, especially since the housing costs significantly less than 1000 euros. I think the 50D the surcharge from the current 150-200 euro versus the 40D to be full value (I) but not a direct comparison.
- Beginner, which should not shy away from the capital, have no fear in front of this semi-professional camera. To get started, it offers many automatic programs and quickly understandable assistance. The rest is learning by playing around (fun: D). The manual from Canon is not bad either.
