Capture the Moment
with Clarity and Brilliance

I
have never taken
any camera out of
the box and see it
perform so simply and
impeccably immediate
as the
EOS 50D.
I always
have high
expecta-
tions for Canon and
they never cease to
astonish me. It has
happened again with
this camera. Superb
image quality over
comparable models
and incredible value
for the price. In addi-
tion, it is lightweight,
easy to handle and is
quickly becoming my
close friend and
traveling companion.”

Performance Without the Weight Penalty
The EOS 50D proves good things can come in compact,
lightweight packages. If what you need is a light, nimble
SLR body with uncompromising performance and out-
standing image capture quality, look no further than the
50D. It features top, front and rear covers made of mag-
nesium alloy, known for its outstanding strength and
light weight.
Extraordinary Durability
and Solid Dependability
In addition to the magnesium
alloy covers, the EOS 50D
body features a basic chassis
constructed of stainless steel
for steadfast durability. The
50D also incorporates a high-performance shutter tested
and rated to operate reliably over 100,000 cycles. Part of
the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 50D also
features a Canon self-cleaning sensor unit, which
removes dust using ultrasonic vibrations.
3.0-inch Clear View LCD Monitor
The EOS 50D has a brilliant, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD
monitor, featuring approximately 920,000 dots/VGA with
enhanced brightness to ensure eye-popping viewing
ability even outdoors on a sunny day. The large, high-
performance screen provides detailed image and
information, displayed with unprecedented clarity and
color accuracy.
Outstanding Image Quality
The powerful Canon 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the
advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, 14-bit A/D conver-
sion and other advanced Canon technologies, assure
image capture of the highest quality. Your photographs
will be characterized by extraordinary detail, rich color
and expanded dynamic range.
Easier Access
to Advanced
Features
The Picture Style feature enables
photographers to select necessary
camera settings through pre-
programmed presets. It enables you
to make optimal choices from among
the many camera parameters simply by selecting the
type of shooting. The EOS 50D provides six preset set-
tings and three additional custom settings that you can
program with your own settings.
