Re: Canon 30D update

i have the 40d and the 50d and in my opinion the 50d is a better camera

most of the reviews you read about the 50d was done with the early models before the firmware upgrade was released to remedy the noise issue and the comunication error

when they are talking about detail difference between the 40d/50d i can tell you hands down the 50d wins but i have to say it does lose out on high iso noise compared to the 40d i find noise is kept to a very sensible level upto 600 iso and 800 at a push above that and it's quite noticable

it's quite an achievment to cram so many pixels onto a cropped sensor and keep the levels as low as they do to be honest if you think about it a full frame sensor with the same pixel density would be around 40mpx allmost twice that of a 1d mk111
