This week, Canon came up with a new solution for advanced amateur photographers, amid increasing interest in digital SLR cameras: the 15.1-megapixel EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera and the new DIGIC 4 image processor.

The EOS 50D digital camera offers high quality and image control, and includes an expanded ISO range, as well as improved noise reduction, and in-camera photo editing features. The Creative Auto Mode (CA) offers users more flexibility to easily adjust images without being some kind of experts.

The EOS 50D camera offers improved image quality, by using an improved CMOS APS-C size image sensor. The DIGIC 4 image processor adds up to the 6.3 frame-per-second (fps) continuous shooting capability, which supports bursts of up to 90 Large/Fine JPEGs or 16 RAW images on a UDMA CF card.

The Canon EOS 50D camera also offers a high-performance viewfinder with 0.95 magnification and high-performance Autofocus (AF), resulting in a better focus of the targets.

The EOS 50D camera is compatible with the Canon EF and EF-S lenses. The camera is scheduled to launch this October, and will be sold as a body-only configuration for $1,399.00. The kit version with EF 28-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens will cost an estimated $1,599.00.
