On 30 September 2008, I've already got the new Canon EOS 50D Besier at my local dealer in Frankfurt. Actually, this camera is available only from mid-October and even in the Amazon, this new camera is still not yet available.
Everything works fine and the camera has real improvement over their predecessors 30D and 40D . However, the 50D raw images stored in a new format that is supported by the default driver from Photoshop CS not . For this reason, tinkers with me now a beta version of the driver. Unfortunately, the 50D has no full frame, but the Figure factor is 1.6 . This is not really ideal because I have already two EF lenses from Canon. But in the future can be secure with another '5 'what do :-)
