DPREVIEW i njegovi "testeri" Lars Rehm i Richard Butler su uradili i nedavno predstavili detaljan test CANON 50D modela na tom sajtu. Nisam se mnogo unosio u retoriku i detalje, ali na kraju u njihovom zaključku Canon 50D je očekivano dobio ocenu "Highly Recommended", pokazao je osetan napredak u odnosu na prethodni model 40D, ali autori testa su ipak očekivali više od novog Canon 50D modela.
To je dugogodišnja politika svih proizvođača na koju smo već navikli. Daju nam sve "na kašičicu" i ostavljaju ponešto i za naredni model. Primera radi, ubačen je po prvi put neki CMOS senzor u SX1 IS, a konačno je stavljen "široki" objektiv na novi G10, a svi smo očekivali i "široki" objektiv i CMOS senzor u Canon G10
Ovo su neke dobre i loše osobine novog Canon 50D koje su izdvojili autori na kraju svog testa (nadam da nije problem sto je na ENG):
Conclusion - Pros * Detailed and clean image output (but not as detailed as we would have expected from a 15 megapixels sensor)
* Chroma and luminance noise well controlled at higher sensitivities
* Wide range of image parameter adjustment (-4 to +4 for most)
* Effective Highlight tone priority option delivers smooth highlight roll-off
* Four levels of high ISO noise reduction (including Off)
* Effective vignetting control feature
* No noticeable hot pixels with long exposures and NR off
* Nine point auto focus system accurate, even in low light
* Large, clear and bright high-res screen
* Well-built magnesium body, weather-sealed
* Good viewfinder, optional focusing screens
* Excellent ergonomics and refined user-interface
* Quick control menu allows direct access to many important settings
* Attractive refreshed menu design
* Fully customizable MyMenu
* Programmable FUNC button
* Two user memories via 'C1/C2' on mode dial
* 10x magnification in live view allows reliable manual focusing
* Instant power on, camera feels snappy and responsive at all times
* Fast continuous shooting (6.3 fps)
* Excellent data throughput and processing speeds (with fast CF cards)
* Very fast PTP transfer speed
* AF-Micro-Adjustment
* Comprehensive Software package
* Very quiet mirror mechanism (plus 2 silent shooting options in live view)
* Any combination between RAW and JPEG image sizes possible
* Dust reduction from Canon's 'Integrated Cleaning'
* Good battery life
* Optional WFT-E3 wireless transmitter (802.11 b/g) / vertical grip
* HDMI output
Conclusion - Cons * High ISO performance worse than 40D
* Reduced dynamic range in the shadow areas compared to EOS 40D
* Per-pixel detail not as good as on good 10 or 12 megapixel cameras
* High-end lenses required to get the most out of the camera
* Poor white balance performance under artificial light
* Flash must be up for AF assist lamp (although AF is good even in low light)
* Live view not as accurate as on 40D (framing very slightly off-center, in contrast detect AF mode not possible to magnify right out to the extreme corners)
