Hey Scott. I just got a 50d myself, and I understand that with the cheap lenses I have, they aren't going to look as good as I thought when making the switch.


Here's the thing....I've put a few L lenses on it, while deciding on which one to get, and holy crap what a difference. I've heard about some IQ issues with the 18-200mm that you're using. The massive range is good to have, but is directly related to it's image quality. So, among the other advice, I'd definitely try a different lens. Head over to a camera store and ask to try out an L series lens. It'll blow you away. Especially the 70-200mm. Of course the price is massive.



But still, there are some real good quality EF S lenses out there too. Try something with a little less of a range.
