Summary: Great shots
Comment: It takes time to get to know all the functions - but even on auto mode you get great photos. Can't wait to see what i get when i finally work out how to use it.

Summary: 1st dslr and happy with choice
Comment: I purchased this based on word of mouth references as well as online references. It IS a different ballgame from the P&S format I was used to but I knew this going in. It is fairly intuitive and any new owner just needs to take the time to understand all its capabilities. The camera arrived okay but I was a little concerned; the camera and lens were packaged securely in the Canon box but that box was so loosely packaged in the shipment box from Amazon that it was literally bouncing around like a rattle inside (not good at all for an expensive photo item!) but it seems to have survived okay. What I have learned now is I should have purchased the body only and shopped for better glass. While the kit lens is adaquate it is not as good as I wanted for this body. All in all I give the body two thumbs up!!!

Summary: Camera Package of Excellence
Comment: I purchased the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens just over a month ago. It is by far the best camera I've ever had. The quality of the pictures is fantastic and the one lens does all is even better.
I've had the Digital Rebel with multiple lenses which I loved but this is much better. Prior to that I had a Canon sure shot digital prior to that and a Minolta Maxxum 7000 film camera with multiple lenses before going digital. The 50D is a more professional camera with multiple functions and ease of use. I am still learning all its features. I bought an Aputure remote to go with it and I all ready had a Canon 430EX flash which works great as well.
This is a great camera!

Summary: Superior build and excellent image quality
Comment: I upgraded from a 20D to the 50D and did not wait for the 5D2. As others have remarked, all of my 20D accessories will work with the 50D including flashes, batteries and remote triggers.
My primary use is for aviation photography. This camera is quickly become the standard for sport shooting because of its fast (6.3 fps) shutter rate and large buffer. Unless you are using raw (recommended), you can shoot continuously with jpg. You need to be careful. With the 20D, it was easy to take single shots with the shutter in continous shooting mode. With the 50D, the fast shutter will zip off numerous images with just a light touch.
The 1.6 crop factor works in my favor when shooting distant subjects, making a 400mm lens an effective 640mm. This has been an advantage for me even when using wider lenses. My 17-40L is fine for portraits on the long end at an effective 64mm. My 50mm 1.8 has produced some tack sharp images. Anyone who complains about this camera being "soft" has not been using quality glass.
The high resolution screen is amazing. I am not a big chimper, but I do like to check my images from time to time, and to review them after a shoot. I have not been a big fan of liveview, but this camera has advanced face recognition in that mode that will come in handy for the times when you need to hand the camera to a novice so you can get in the picture.
The 40D had a build quality that was similar to my 20D but the 50D seems to be a step up with better weather sealing. Working outdoors around airport ramps, my cameras get some hard use. The 50D looks like it is up to that task.
Be prepared when you buy this camera for large file sizes. My shots have averaged 20gb for raw and 10gb for jpg. That will fill up your memory cards, and hard disks, in a hurry. For the wonderful images that this camera produces, that is a small trade-off.

Summary: Read the reviews and still purchased the 50D
Comment: I am totally impressed. It is crisp and super fast. Very user friendly. I was worried from the reviews, but after reading what others posted I decided that maybe some of the dissatisfaction was from a glass/lens problem rather than a camera body issue? I say that humbly, I don't know. I use L series lenses and I'm thrilled with the upgrade to the 50D. Like butter. SMOOTH. Amazing results.
