Shutter speed and steady grip
6 of 6 found this helpful I bounced around looking for different Canon cameras, reading reviews, and looking for a great deal. I love this camera. It is superior in so many ways to my Canon T1i. However, there are two main differences to me. First, shutter speed. This is my first semiprofessional camera and the shutter speed blew me away. I shoot a lot of sports photography and knew I was missing that one shot in the middle that I was looking for very time I took a burst of images with my T1i. Now I don’t miss as many. Second is the shutter sound. My T1i is loud this 50D is much quieter, at least to me it is. Quiet day on the golf course and a loud clack of a shutter does not make golfers happy even after the ball is gone. I love this 50D and can’t wait to see what I can do with it. It will be a fun journey.
I also want to mention the complaints about weight of the camera. It is heavier to me in my hand. However, to me, weight means a more solid camera. A better built camera with quality. Also, I started photography way back when I started with a Pentax K1000. The weight I felt always helped me steady the camera. This Canon 50D feels steady in my hand and feels like I can steady the image much easier.
