Myself still using 40D, it is fine for me, However, if it is your plan to buy "one", check with your budget

40D同50D 主要分別係:
1. mon 大細同resolution
2. 相o既max resolution
3. digic 3 同 digic 4
pq 方面... 有d 人話40D仲靚過50D... 我咁睇... 100% crop 去睇... 40D 係清晰過50D... 因為50D cmos o既pixel density 密度高d... 所以有d影響...
但係同一size output (例如出A4)... 50D o既層次感比40D強... 主要因為resolution高... 其實係電腦睇已經睇得出...
總結PQ 我覺得唔特別去影兩張一樣o既相比較... 真係差唔多...
40D 同 50D 各有各好... 建議買二手仲有行保o既40D... 想買一手就買50D...
enjoy.. :)

50D also has the dark corners correction (5D and 500D also have this new function) and the AF adjustment.

If you want the latest technology, you should go for 50D.
There is no reason to get an older model.

If you have limited budget, then why not get a 500D instead? You can get most of the functions you want.

I have no idea why everyone just focuses on the body but not the LENS!!

Imagine you have a very strong and healthy body but you are BLIND!
The "eyes" are the most important thing if you want to "capture image"...

I am very disappointed with some responses here...

My advice is: "ALWAYS SAVE MONEY FOR THE LENS"
Most latest ASP-C will never let you down, but the kit LENS will!

夠用就得!留$買正鏡吧!

Imagine you have very healthy eyes but you are an IDIOT!

Oh! please......

I really wonder why ppl like to focus on other ppl's feeling on photography...
Someone like to study the camera functions/spec, someone like to study the lens, someone like to focus on sharpness, someone like to have beautiful colours... someone enjoy using kit lens... some enjoy using L lens...
It's a free world.... I like to give advices and I know ppl have their judgement as we are not kids... but I never apply my attitude or my thought to others.
I apologized if any of my words make other angry.
Last words. "若要人似我,除非兩個我."

買紅圈L 定焦 ,影相當然較好.
錢預算唔多,平玩先.

紅圈色水好,我有買在用.長用低玩.

ivanivan05, maybe you can try to compare the image quality among the following and you will get the answer and understand who is BS-ing and who is retarded.

40D + any L lens
50D + Kit lens


If one pays careful attention or at least understands English, read the poster's question again:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in terms of Picture Quality and ISO Performance, how is 40D different from 50D?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ISO performance = both are the same = no need to further elaborate
So the poster cares about the picture quality

So you don't have to put any of your personal feelings to others. Just give your best suggestion/advice to what the poster wants to know --- which is he/she wants to get a new camera which gives good picture quality

My answer = get the best ASP-C within your budget, but save money for a good lens. If budget is limited, more money should be sent on the lens instead of the body, as most latest ASP-C (not FF models) are "more or less" the same in terms of PICTURE QUALITY

End of story.

>>咁我部30D點算？重賣唔賣得出........
why not?

30D is also a good camera

[Obi-Wan]

I just used my 20D for a job even though I have 50D & 5D2!

40D is a nice camera, I sold my 40D after buying 50D & 5D2 & keep the good old 20D
