Not me, as I have a 50D and think it's really a nice camera. Of course, my new 7D is also nice! ;)

There were really too many great pictures to choose from with this assignment! Congratulations to all the finalists and to Jonathan for a beautiful and unique, winning shot!


Ken

Thanks very much! It's an honor to be among such talented people, and be lucky enough to have just taken a photo that seemed to work for this challenge. :)


I was waiting for an official reply to...

Thanks much Joel and I like your shot as well!

Thanks very much Matt! [:D]


I forgot to mention that these were taken in my back yard, using my 50D, Sigma 30-1.4 lens, and a 580EXII flash set for high speed sync.

Here are two recent shots I feel might qualify...

Here's a natural light reflected shot of my wife from this past weekend:

Here are a few of my wife in our back yard, though technically from last week. All three were shot using my Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens:


Canon EOS 50D - 1/250 sec at f / 1.6 - ISO 125 - 30mm...

No, I probably missed something in the above posts that indicated that people were talking about using it in manual, without a flash. I know I've taken many shots in manual using a flash, and often...

I think the 50D owners here need to check again.... as my 50D does have Auto ISO in Manual mode. This would also mean that the 5D MkII is not the first Canon cam to offer this feature. I'm running...

Thanks much! The angle of that black &amp; white shot is definitely due to a height difference. My son was sitting on the floor, while I was squatting down to take the shot. It's a challenge at times to...

Fred,


Thanks very much for the compliments, and there's nothing negative at all about your preference being different on some shots. I tend to try all kinds of angles when I'm shooting, and this...

Thanks very much everyone! I shoot simply for my own enjoyment and am always learning new ways to get the most out of what I own. I literally just grabbed some images from recent galleries on our...

I thought I would share some recent portrait shots I've taken of my family. Looking at photos taken with equipment I'm considering buying has always been helpful to me, so hopefully these will do the...

FWIW, those samples are good for evaluating noise in a 4x6 or wallet-size print, but the OP is talking about 8x10. You could resize to 8x10 @ 150 ppi and then post a 100% crop to see what it would...

As others have mentioned, ISO 1600 is very usable on the 50D. It all depends on the specific conditions as to whether 3200 is usable for your intentions. Below are two shots of our cat, so you...

Here's one from this past weekend that I like the mood of.

I highly recommend the Kingston Ultimate 266X CF cards in 8 GB or 16 GB. I use them with my 50D in RAW format and have exceptionally pleased with the peformance.

I love the look of that walking down the aisle shot... very nice!

Very cool shot!

Here are a couple of unique ones I took this 4th:

I have a 50D and find the so called reviews claiming poor high ISO performance to be a giant load of crap. Not only was I very happy with the quality of such shots early on with this camera, I have...

Actually, the sensors are analog not digital. The conversion comes after the image has been captured on an analog sensor.


Of course, you probably knew that, but I wanted to clarify for readers...

Thanks for posting the noise comparisons between both versions. I love my 50D as it is (1.0.3) and was heavily considering not risking something going wrong by updating. Your experience and test...

Mitch,


I held out on switching from a CRT to an LCD monitor as long as I could, in the hopes that the quality I wanted would become more affordable. Over a year ago I bought a Samsung 22" LCD...
