Canon EOS 50D Preview Samples Gallery

Digital Photography Review

As a follow up to my previous post about the announcement of the Canon 50D, DPreview.com has a sample gallery with images from a pre-production camera available at the location linked below.

Canon EOS 50D Preview Samples Gallery: Digital Photography Review.

To my eye, ISO 800 looks at least as clean as ISO 400 on my 40D, and ISO6400 looks cleaner by a wide margin than ISO3200 on my 40D. I can definitely see making good quality 8x10s (or maybe even 11x14s with some noise reduction) from a shot taken at ISO6400, and ISO 1600 looks good enough to go all the way up to 12×18 or bigger.

One thing I forgot to mention previously was the announcement of a stabilized Canon EF-S 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 lens. Not necessarily interesting to pro photographers, but if the IQ is respectable it would make an acceptable walk around lens for those that aren’t looking to make absolutely tack sharp prints. Here’s to hoping it’s at least as good as Nikon’s.
