Canon EOS 50D Now Official

Another leak proven true – the Canon EOS 50D that will see the EOS 40D out the door. It might look rather similar to its predecessor at first glance, but as with the case of the Transformers, there is more than meets the eye. Some of the specifications of this new monster include :-

• 15.1 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
• 6.3fps continuous shooting, max. burst 90 JPEGs with UDMA card
• DIGIC 4 processor
• ISO 100-3200, expandable to 12800
• 9-point wide area AF
• 3.0” Clear View VGA LCD with Live View mode & Face Detection Live AF
• Magnesium alloy body, with environmental protection
• EOS Integrated Cleaning System
• HDMI connection
• Full compatibility with Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

Expect to pay a ballpark figure that remains within the EOS 40D’s range when it was first released.
