Although Canons 10-million pixel Eos 40D was a capable contender for the top slot in the semi-pro market, it quickly lost out to the superior and pricier Nikon D300. Now, though, using its considerable manufacturing muscle, Canon has introduced the Eo...

The Canon EOS 50D might not be revolutionary in terms of ergonomics or innovation; some might even say it looks a bit dated – it doesn’t have movie mode, for instance. But here, at last, we have a ‘full-size’ Canon DSLR that not only feels good in the...

The EOS 50D is a no-frills camera – there’s nothing really exciting here to stop you in your tracks. It’s hard to complain, though, as it does exactly what you’d expect, and does it with style. It responds quickly and feels like it’ll last even in a pr...

This is a 15 megapixel single lens reflex, supplied with an 18–200mm lens with effective optical stabilisation. This is the evolutionary replacement for the 40D, with more pixels and a high resolution 75mm LCD to bring it into line with Nikon and Sony...

Image quality is exceptionally fine, as we expect from this line of cameras. Skin tones are natural and colours are accurate. The long zoom lens works better than expected, focussing smartly at all focal lengths but with some distortion at the extremes...
