Canon 50D Lust
I’ve been thinking about upgrading my camera for a while, but as I thought about it more and began to search online there seemed to be reason to wait since everyone was hinting at Canon upgrading their line soon.Tuesday before I headed to Maine to shoot pictures for four days, I read about the new Canon EOS 50D which is now the object of my desire.
Sure, the new Nikon D90 is pretty hot too (damn thing shoots video!), but I’m a Canon guy so while I want to try one our for sure, my heart is set on the 50D.
The upgrade is mainly because I want more control over settings now that I know what I’m doing. Biggest thing I get is the ability to boost the ISO which is something I crave when I shoot bands performing in dark clubs.
Looking forward to the reviews when they come out. Won’t be for several more weeks I’m sure, but I’m eager to see if it lives up to the expectations or not. Until then I’ll just have to live with the preview on my favorite review site DPReview.

Being a Canon guy, I lust after the 1DS Mark II (and now they’re previewing the 1DS Mark III!), but like many hobby photographers I can’t afford such a beast. Heck, I can’t even justify buying a 5D to myself, but this! This 50D makes me squirm with anticipation. I ALMOST bought a 40D recently when Canon was giving their extra rebates, but I decided to hold off and now I’m glad I did. The 50D is on my Xmas list, from me to me!
Here’s a link to the 1DS Mark III;

Bah! I lost count of my 1DS’s… Mark III is the newest one, I was thinking the Mark II was the newest. I hate when that happens…
