for viewing images on an HDTV. Pick up the EOS 50D and you'll experience true digital inspiration!
The EOS 50D features a newly designed 15.1-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor which is capable of recording up to 4752 x 3168 pixels with full 14-bit A/D conversion for extremely fine tonal gradation. Ready to capture images in an instant, the sensor is designed to work with Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses with a conversion factor of 1.6x. It’s capable of recording at sensitivities previously too noisy for shooting in low light or subjects in motion. With a maximum ISO rating of 12800 combined with a 4-level High ISO speed noise reduction function, images that would have been impossible without the use of a strobe or flash become simple to record.

for faster processing
The EOS 50D operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing
short of intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and
minimal shutter lag, the EOS 50D is one of the fastest cameras available
today. It can shoot up to 6.3 fps, in bursts of up to 90 JPEGs (using
an UDMA CF card,
60 JPEGs (using a CF card) consecutively or 16 RAW files, so you’ll
never, ever miss a shot.
The EOS 50D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies, such as a spherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L-series lenses. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to minimize the effect of camera shake. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS 50D.
