Pros: I been working for four years with the Canon 50D and it had always worked perfectly in every light conditions. It follows me everywhere I go and it's really fast and easy to use. I particulary use it with a Canon 300mm f2.8 (first version) and the great Canon 180mm macro to have a better reach and I'm really satisfied by the results. I'll keep it as long as possible to enjoy Nature photography...

Cons: It becomes a bit old nowadays in comparaison with new bodies but it had never disapointed me...I use also the Canon 5D Mark II and I must admit the image quality is a bit under...sometimes !!!

Opinion: The Canon 50D is my best friend during many years and it still works everytime I need it ! I use it with serie L lenses and APS-C lenses and it does a great job ! I hope you will have a body like this one in your photobag...The choice of using Canon bodies is the best I did ! (Nikon and others are surely great too but I have never regret my Canon...). Greetings.

Pros: It is a tank, particularly high cost-performance ratio, micro-adjustment lenses.

Cons: There are few :); weight; few AF points that, at times, force you to recompose.

Opinion: 100 euros. One hundred euros! And you have a high-level machine in your hands. From 2008, it has everything needed by those who want not only to learn to photograph, but to go further. For those who can't afford an 80D or a 70D it's a must. Coupled with the Tamron smooth 17-50 F2.8 and the EF70-200mm F4L it provides an extremely high-performance shopping kit. I had it for 3 years from 2011 onwards. It was a bit like the "training ship", before the 6D. It is a pleasure, today, to review the raw of over ten years ago, even at 3200 ISO: fortunately modern denoise give new life to dated shots. 15Mpx is not a limit, you can even crop if the printing needs do not exceed A3. It can be safely mistreated, it has micro-adjustment lenses. The AF points are a bit few, you have to get the hang of it. It shoots at 6.3fps where the 80D shoots at 7fps, minimum time 1/8000s like the great-granddaughter.

Pros: Durable camera body, simple and intuitive menu, great features if you are looking for a pure and simple camera

Cons: ISO above 1600 unmanageable, grommets (interfaces, powergrips etc) that tend to crumble, ignition switch in unfortunate position

Opinion: The machine, even if it is its age, can still be satisfying. I decided to get it after seeing the ridiculous amount requested in a flea market: 50€. It would have been a shame not to take advantage of it! 35,000 round shots, three batteries and three CF included, grip on the fly. I put a canon 50mm f1.8 stm on it and it's giving its best; It has now become the everyday camera. Despite having a 5D IV and a 7D II (coming from years with 7D I and 300D) that I use with great satisfaction, this 50D is particularly striking me because of its simplicity and ease of use! Then something fundamental for me: a pure camera... No useless features for videos and more. Recommended for a beginner who perhaps has to learn the basics of photography and wants to practice, or for those who already have bodies and want something to use every day: if you find one in good condition under € 100 it is still a bargain, far superior to today's entry level. Despite being a tank, unfortunately age is felt on the materials, removed the body which is perfect, the soft rubber parts (interface covers, lower connector covers, hole cover for dummy battery, eyepiece) have crumbled: no problem, with a quick search on the internet it was possible to order spare parts for about € 15, shipping included.

Pros: Construction, Tropicalization reliability and ergonomics.

Cons: Little to say considering the age if you really have to report the non-modern liveview as nin the latest SLR but it is not a defect. High Estate Iso

Opinion: Bought used years ago and I was lucky enough to find it with very few shots about 100 so I was tempted to buy it. It was perfect with no signs of wear or I wouldn't have bought it. They had never even installed the shoulder strap. It was really lucky. I bought a batterygrip apart which is the same for 20d, 30d and 40d that I own. The 15 Mpixels are excellent and you can do some crop. At high iso you have to be careful, but from me it is mainly used at 100 iso for photos of landscapes on tripods. Also for action photos it is very valid and has a precise autofocus. Excellent construction type eos series 5 d or 7d. Better construction at sealing level therefore usable even in more critical climatic conditions than the 10d, 20d, 30d and 40d models which in any case are excellent for image quality although I must find an improvement in the dynamic range from the nodes of the eos 30d forward.

Pros: Bellina, small (for my hands), every check in the right place. Good construction. 1/8000. Joystick.

Cons: Considering the age, nothing, but to be pointy, lack according to slots for SD card (mounts only a cf).

Opinion: Purchased for a handful of euros from a user of the market, complete with original bg. Excellent ergonomics, good sensor that is not to be compared with today's machines, but that manages to churn out respectable files. I had his granddaughter 80D and I have to say it remained in my heart. The little auntie does not make me regret it as a second (third) body. It is also ideal for weekend releases, where it is appreciated for its low volumes compared to bodies pro type 5d Mk. III. Tested with older usm optics, it responds quickly with a lightning maf. With L optics it's at its best. Good burst that also allows a coveted use of sports or fauna. For me, I prefer portraits and landscapes, almost useless but appreciable that there is. By setting raw-jpeg and firing the burst, the buffer doesn't "full" too quickly to agree to use a quick-write card. I'll take her out very often, that's for sure.
