I

n my world of wed-
ding photography,

you only have one
chance. A professional
camera must be

rugged,
light-
weight,
fast and
able to

produce the imagery
with the quality my
clients expect. The
EOS 50D fits that
profile with a large
3.0-inch screen and
high-tech 15.1
Megapixel Canon
CMOS sensor.”

Hanson Fong

Explorer of Light

Dependable Autofocus, 
Even in Low Light

The EOS 50D features outstanding

autofocus performance, employing nine

cross-type AF points to lock onto subjects, even if they are not

centered in the composition. The center AF points are an

advanced, diagonally mounted cross-type that enhances ver-

tical and horizontal sensitivity at the widest lens apertures.

They assure standout available light autofocus performance

in a greater number of low-light shooting situations.

Improved Low-Noise Performance

Eye-popping image quality is also assured by

an improved noise reduction system, which

can be used for long exposures and high-ISO

shooting. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has significantly

improved noise reduction effectiveness, greatly reducing

compromise in image detail when noise reduction is applied.

With the EOS 50D, you can also select all but the strongest

noise reduction setting without adversely affecting the

maximum burst shooting speed in continuous mode.

Outstanding Image Quality

The Canon 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the DIGIC 4

Image Processor and other advanced technologies, such

as 14-bit A/D conversion, deliver high-quality image 

capture. The photographs you shoot with the EOS 50D

will stand out for their extraordinary detail, color and

dynamic range. The photodiode design in the EOS 50D

CMOS sensor also ensures sublime low-noise performance

when shooting at higher ISO settings.

Better Flash Illumination

The Canon E-TTL II flash exposure control system compares

light values and accurately calculates the flash output

required for optimum illumination of the main subject

and background. It ensures balanced, natural lighting, for

example, when using fill flash. When you use Canon

EX-series Speedlite flashes with the EOS 50D, you have

at your disposal a world class flash lighting system.

Heavy-Duty but Light Around Your Neck

The EOS 50D is the perfect camera for assignments that

require a light, nimble SLR body capable of quality image

capture. The compact design of the 50D features top,

front and rear covers made of magnesium alloy, known

for its outstanding strength and light weight. The body’s

basic chassis is constructed of stainless steel for rugged

durability. The EOS 50D also incorporates a high-per-

formance shutter tested and rated to operate reliably

over 100,000 cycles.

HDMI Output

The EOS 50D provides HDMI output, which enables the

transmission of images captured by the camera to a High

Definition television monitor for group viewing.
