Digital Photography School has published a review of the Canon 50D.
The Canon 50D is a great mid range camera. Not quite a professional level camera in that it’s not using a “full frame” sensor but by no means “entry level” This camera will produce great results for you.

Just in time for Christmas, here’s 21 deals (and a couple of bonus suggestions) at a variety of retailers that I’ve picked out for you last minute shoppers out there.
Some of the items I’ve picked are real deals as refurbished or used items, so there may be only a few or just one of them. I can’t promise any of these links will last very long. So, get while the getting is good.
1. Nikon D700 for $2160! One of the best ones comes from Ritz Camera, who’s giving 10% off of all in stock orders when you use PayPal Checkout! Plus free shipping on orders over $100 and no tax collected. While 10% off may not sound like much, consider this . . . . The Nikon D700 is $2399 at Ritz and with the 10% discount, it becomes $2160 – that’s $2160 out the door; no tax, no shipping, real dollars. Talk about a deal! Now, go get creative. Here’s the link: Ritz 10% Off.
2. Canon 40D (body) for $799.95 at B&H Photo
3. Refurbished Canon Rebel XTi w/ 18-55mm lens for $369.95 at Adorama [Read more…]

I put together a few quick frames from ISO 1600 to ISO 25600 for the Nikon D700 and Canon 5D Mark II tonight. Nothing scientific, just a few shots snapped off at my desk.
Settings: tripod, aperture priority @ f/8, evaluative metering, auto white balance, ISO 1600-25600 in full stops – lenses used were 50mm f/1.8 on the Nikon & 50mm f/1.4 on the Canon – RAW capture – exported to JPEG via Lightroom with no edits other than the 100% crops
As you’ll see, the 5D Mark II tended to underexpose a bit, which I left alone for the purposes of this quick test. I’ll go more in-depth in a later post on these two cameras.
Click on any image to enlarge to full size (Note that I mildly resized the 100% crops to fit into the post, so you’ll need to click to get the 100% crop, which are between 650-800px wide for both cameras) Also, bear in mind that the 5D Mark II full image files go up to 32MB+ in file size, so dial-up readers need not apply.
