So, I am new to digital photography, however I took 6 years of photography classes in high school and college combined using film.


I recently purchased the xsi about 5 months ago, and I feel as though I should have spent a few extra hundred dollars on a better camera such as the 50d which really appeals to me. I went with the xsi because it was more entry level for a newbie to dslr such as me.


I have read the reviews on this site for both the xsi and the 50d, however I had a hard time getting through all the tech lingo on the 50d review and it was just too much for me to comprehend.


So, my question is: did I make a mistake buying the xsi (since I already am an experienced photographer)?


And, what real advantages can you list in simple english that the 50d has over the xsi?


**If I do sell my xsi at a loss and buy a 50d, will the 50d be considered a suitable/serious enthusiast camera that i can utilize for many years to come?**





Thank you very much for all and any feedback!!
