I bought this , mailed it back after 5 days.  Did not work proper , shutter , menu ect.   I love the Canon lens I bought from them which was very expensive / used item so disappointed that they would sell a camera that does not work

just bought this camera

Casual use, wanted more durable EOS than the Rebel series.  Always wanted a 40D, but went ahead and went with the more megapixels.  Great camera with a little different menu system to learn.

Takes a Great shot!

So far I'm impressed with the 50D. It has performed well the few times that I have used it since my purchase. I've only done landscapes but with my 50mm I'm sure portraits will turn out great. No real complaints.

Quality Buy

I use this mostly for sports. I bought it because it has an APS-C sensor and the 1.6 crop factor and the burst mode are better than my 5D mark I for sports. I chose it over many of the newer models because it shares batteries with 5D mark I and because it feels more solid in my hand than some of the newer APS-C canon DSLR's have used. Image quality is outstanding, not as good as the a one series I use, but it is more than good enough.

Solid work horse camera.

I use this product in my every day use as a professional photographer.

We bought this camera used for one of our newspaper offices. We already own two 50Ds. This was rated an E (or E-) on the used scale, but when we got it it was in excellent shape. Much less wear than the 50D in my office which was purchased brand new a few years ago. I would recommend used equipment from Adorama.

Very good used camera

not only did the camera not perform, calls to Customer service were not taken, "due to high volume", email messages were not answered.  have packed and shipped the camera back to you, and am waiting to hear if i will be stuck with the bill and not have a camera

total disappointment

I have not used this enough to rate it but I love it so far

used canon 50D

Good product at a goog price

I use this as a backup to my 5Dmkii. I replaced the 40D whichI didn't are for. Had a problem with noise at one point but Canon fixed that.

Great aps-c camera

I shoot for another person on the weekends and they use the EOS Mark 2 for there stuff ,,,i was going to purches one but the price between that camera and the 50 D ,,well just a bit different if you have looked around ,,anyway i reviewed alot of cameras and everything kept leading me back to this one,,,,Great HI and LOW ISO,,Fast Shutter Speeds,,CF not SD ,,,I have to use CF for my work,,and many other options that seem to be a little more geared for the pro then just the every now and then photographer.

PERFECT FOR MY NEEDS

Camera has a good heft and balance to it fitting easily into your hand. I use it for all manner of shots.

Perfect "step up" camera

I am a street editorial photographer
I like the nice controls and the easy to use layout.

BUT .... 
I have this body and the premium 70-200 EF L 2.8 lens, and also the EF 24 -105 and 24-702.8  EF L , etc ...eg the best glass canon makes, and I am so extremely disappointed with the lack of sharpness and the lack of dead on focus. So many of my images are just "off", Indeed I have sent the body and the lenses back twice and all canon says is adjust and clean.. etc. On the last return, I got back MY camera body and another persons sample dis of images and guess what, he was having the same problem that I had ... a photo of say a college yearbook shot ( girl sitting on bale of hay) and shot # 1 would be tack sharp and shot #2 would be out of focus. I switched to Nikon and do not have this problem any more.  I do not hink it is  the lens as ALL of them have this problem. I think it is the body.

Just not good enough focus

I actually got this camera to use for school photography but I realized I needed a camera with a full range zoom lens ready to go when one of my lenses failed on a wedding. I got this camera and a full range zoom lens as a backup so that it will be ready if anything goes wrong on a wedding or other shoot.

Great camera

Good camera for those semi-serious about photography but can't afford the full-frame.

Worth the bucks

As a replacemnt for earlier models, it provides some much appreciated upgrades in several areas.  And, in retrospect, since my equipment needs are ONLY for stills, I don't have to burden myself w/ the movie mode of the 5D Mk II, 7D, or 60D.  One other nice feature is that it us more closely aligned w/ previous models than the 60D, so accessories like the Battery Grip that fit the 30D & 40D are compatible w/ this body.  The 60D uses a new style Grip attachment.  Finally, the 50D is a magnesium frame, so IF you're using the camera in a serious way, that may also be a factor.

EXCELLENT camera w/ significant upgrades

I bought this as an inexpensive upgrade from my Rebel.  I thought about buying the 60D or the 7D, but decided to buy this one since it is much cheaper compared to either one of those, and it has a more high end feel compared the plastic body of the 60D.  I was not dissapointed.  Picture quality is very good compared to the Rebel, especially in low light situations such as indoors.  Very pleased with my purchase.  The only negative for me was that this camera only takes Compact Flash cards, which are expensive compared to the SD cards (which I already had plenty of from the Rebel)

Good upgrade from the Rebel

This camera is very fun and easy to use.  Fits my hands better than the Rebel series does.  I also own a Canon 7D and like the 50D equally.   The 15M vs 18M is a non issue.

Fine Camera

This camera is perfect for taking nature photos -We had bought this camera and loved it so much we now have two... It is wonderful to take pictures of birds flying, etc. and listen to the zip of the shutter......with this camera you do not miss any of the action... We travel quite a bit filming birds, bear, elk and nature--- I would recommend this camera any day of the week... We have always had Canon and love all the improvements. thank you.

YES AND YES

I recently purchased this Camera as an upgrade from my Canon Rebel Xti. I've shot over 800 frames
and I'm blown away by the performance of this camera. The 6.5 frames per second is awesome. I do alot of wildlife photography and it really helps catching the action. The high iso is fantastic with very low noise. The shutter is pretty quiet and the 3" lcd screen is a pleasure to view. All in all a fantastic camera and you can't beat the price. I want another one.

I highly recommend this camera

Great, Solid Camera

If you shoot a lot indooors, look elsewhere. Poor high iso performer, but fantastic in every other way. Unfortunately, a lot of my shooting is inside.

Not a great camera for indoors

For those who will use a video camera to shoot video and a DSLR for pictures this is the next move up from the Rebel line.  For the $$ it is a great value.  I give this 5 stars - no issues!!

Next logical step after the Rebel

great camera.....

I got the 50d when my 40d died and though I loved my 40d, The focus adjust and extra cropability are a nice upgrade.

Nice body

I use this body mainly to shoot figure skating, and I have been so happy with it!  I upgraded from a 20D.  I often have to deal with poor lighting when I shoot small competitions in local rinks, and this camera has made such a difference.  I can shoot up to ISO 2000 without much loss in quality.  Sure, the 1D Mark III (or the new IV) would be even better, but since I'm not a full-time pro, this is the one that fit into my budget.

Great body for sports!

I bought this camera to use as a back up, wich i am happy.

I woul buy this  product again

camera built like a tank,live view is confusing and auto focusin live view a bit tricky,could make it simpler.lacking hd video.image quality is very good.a camera you can build your skills with to become a semi to pro.I debated between this and pentax k-7

a great solid camera to build upon

Adorama offers great prices and friendly and knowledge sales people.  My first and last choice for my needs.

Refurbished is a great option for me.

This is my first DSLR and I haven't had it that long but I wanted something that I could use like my 35mm film cameras and this looks like it's going to fit the bill - and then some. Probably more bells and whistles than I'll really need. The camera has a nice comfortable feel to it and the controls are conveiently placed. Image quality is great, even with the 18-135mm kit lens.
So far - no complaints. It's a joy to use.
