Canon's new EOS 50D bridges the gap between the novice and the seasoned
pro with a perfect combination of high-speed and quality. It features an APS-C
sized 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor for tremendous images, new DIGIC 4
Image Processor for fine detail and superior color reproduction, and improved
ISO capabilities up to 12800 for uncompromised shooting even in the dimmest
situations. It features a refined 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots)
monitor, supercharged Live View Function with Face Detection Live mode,
plus a number of new automatic Image Correction settings and HDMI output
for viewing images on an HDTV. Pick up the EOS 50D and you'll experience
true digital inspiration!

Lens: Compact, lightweight and a wide magnification range - this standard zoom lens
features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto equivalent to 29-320mm in the
35mm format. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction
even at full zoom. Since Canon's optical image stabilization system is in the lens, not in the
camera, you can see the stabilized, steadier images through the viewfinder. And the circular
aperture can give beautiful background blur effects. This new wide zoom ratio EF-S lens
delivers excellent high-speed performance at an affordable price.
