- Canon 50D is it still worth it today? I will review the Canon 50D and see if it will still work in todays world of photography. The Canon 50D has been a workhorse of camera through the years. I shot with it from 2008-2013! I still use it as a backup. It's my wife's favorite camera, even over the Canon 6D, but she is used to the 50d! It's a great and low cost camera to learn on!

I've shot with this camera since 2009 and am still absolutely satisfied with the results, which are professional. So many people with much more expensive cameras don't do better shots.
I shot many weddings with the 50d as my main camera. It had a great run. I do believe it could still be done, but my R6 is so good under low light it’s almost unbelievable.. I’ve got a low light video comparing a few cameras coming out in the next few weeks.. be sure to check back! Thanks for watching!!
That’s. Sounds about right, more about the photographer than the camera!
I could do better photos, challenge accepted
I just bought a low-use one with 18-55 IS for AUD 75 ( about $50 US). My first Canon actually (I'm usually a Nikon Shooter) and am very pleased with it for the money.
That's great! Hope you enjoy it, it's a great camera!
How much can go shutter of canon 50d? 100.000 or over?
I grabbed a 50D for £70 (~$90) with
It is a great deal for that amount of money. I could not agree with you more. MPB is a great place to get used gear too!
I recently bought one with less than 7k shots as well but on amazon paid 120$ hopefully its worth it
I have just bought one, works great excellent budget camera,
Good deal!
My mum bought this camera when I came out and she gave it to me recently and it works like a charm even after all these years still feels like new and I took photos at the birhaiken bridge in Paris and it’s stunning the quality
That's awesome! It's a great camera. I shot a ton of weddings with it back in the day! Thanks for watching!
This is my first camera I just started photography and I'm really in love with it! Was the old camera of my momma so ot it for free pretty happy about the results of the pics:)
Glad you like it!! That’s awesome..
I bought this camera a few days ago from amazon it arrived with 3 old batteries and I was getting an e30 error so i bought a new battery and its working fine now. Camera works well and the JPegs really look good. It was definetly built with quality. It is solid and fun. Its old but looks like its brand new I love it a lot
Awesome! It really is made like a tank! I shot many weddings with that camera back in the day. Thanks for watching!
I love this review! I really enjoyed what you called out from your perspective on this camera vs others. Cheers!
Thank you so much!!
i still have it, works fine, no one can tell the diff when they look at the final images.
It's a great camera! Thanks for watching.
My first Canon. Bought it off my brother a few months ago bundled with grip and an original non IS 300mm f4 L . What an awesome combo for dipping my toes into bird photography. Sure its not the latest and greatest and sure I may get more keepers using modern gear but I'm having a blast. And $600 CAD ($442 US) for the bundle, I'm not complaining. Awesome review 👏
You're correct, it's a great deal of a camera! Thanks for watching!!
i concur that the colour science in this camera is great.
It really is very good! Thanks!
When I look at that camera, it's like a small Canon EOS 5D mkIII.
I think it's a good camera even today.
It is, I wouldn’t say it’s in the same class as the 5DmK3 as it’s not full frame, but It gets the job done!!
@@studioatlanta I know.
I meant it along similar controls.
Top display with a bunch of functions, joystick, etc.
I just can't imagine taking pictures today with only nine AF points.
It seems to me not enough for today, but otherwise it is a good camera.
@@sorkarkelly8066 yeah it’s a whole different type of camera compared to my Canon R6! Back in its day it rocked! I’m curious what we will have in 2044? Can you imagine?
@@studioatlanta Hard to say.
Better mobilephones?
Cameras in glasses or watches?
Who knows...
@@studioatlanta - Nightvision and infrared? Hopefully. // Hopefully before 2044... ha ha.
I bought a 50D with an 18-55 STM in like new condition from MPB a few months back . I loved it the moment I set eyes on it - it's a tank of a camera ( that feels just right despite its size ) and easy to hold still when pressing the shutter because of the weight . I especially like shooting with my own color profiles with the C1 and C2 functions . I also managed to snag a brand new in the box 70D and a brand new in the box 430ex flash a couple of days ago . Seems almost a shame to start taking pictures and spoil the fact that both of these classics have made it a decade without being used 🤥 .
Those things last forever, I have a 30d also that is still going, it’s nearing 20 years old!
This Canon was my first big camera, still shot with it and actually my second.
I easily take the manual mode and upgrading the lens and other, and i having fun with it. Like said in the video the ISO is the "big" problem that i don't like and the video isn't on it but there is Magic Lantern who actually do a incredible work.
If i can recommand a first, or even for someone used in the photography this one is just very great in my opinion !
It really is a fantastic camera, and the price is almost giving it away!
i'm buying this camera today for £50 around $75
Great! You’ll enjoy it!
And i 1 month ago. Tell me your experience with 50D
I bought $120
Found 1 at £99, but is it still good in this age & day ?
Thanks for the review. I have one and it can still do toughest jobs up to now..
They are rock solid!
How come you never mention the 40D which is in between the 30D and 50D?
FYI, I extensively used 50D for six years then sold it out. Recently, I bought a used 40D from B&H used department in excellent condition. I love it and prefer it to the 50D. Also used 70D and 90D. To me 40D is the best out of all the Canon two digit prosumer DSLRs.
I don't shoot videos therefore, never concerned about it. DSLRs devoid of this option suit me better.
Thank you for the video.
I never got to use the 40D very often. What did you like better about it over the 50D?
@@studioatlanta colors and image quality. 40D's larger pixels capture more light and produce better image quality.
@@quazisanjeed6395 I ordered a Canon 40D today to test against the 50D, thanks for the info and watch for the video in a few weeks! Appreciate the heads up!
@@studioatlanta i would love to see a comparison video of 40d and 50d -most particularly the appearance side by side of same scene shot by each.
Hi. I was thinking of buying a new camera to go on Safari till I saw your video and remembered that I have this buried in storage. I feel it is still in decent shape. If I pair it with the EFS 18-200 IS lens, do you feel that I would be covered or is it a risky proposition for a once in a lifetime trip? Thanks
Depends on the condition of the camera! Also that 18-200 may be a little slow unless all images will be shot in full daylight. Maybe if money will allow look into a 70-200 f4.0 IS Canon soon, and then look at a Canon 24-70 f2.8 (Or Sigma) then you'll have good lenses through all the ranges. If you can get to the Canon 50D and check out the batteries and test the shutter it would do a fine job! Make sure you have a few batteries, to take! Check KEH.com for anything you don't have or may need. What would be best is if you have time find the Canon 50D and have it checked out by a camera repair store, as they could tell you more info.. Just fyi what new camera were you gonna look at? Also, how soon is your trip? Let me know and I'll be glad to tell you what I would do in your situation! Thanks for watching! My email is studioatlanta@yahoo.com if you'd rather not give out info to be seen by everyone.
@@studioatlanta Thanks for your help on this. The Safaris are generally in the morning and the evening as they say that’s when the animals are most active. Daytime is too hot. I found my 50D and turned it on and it still works! I would simply set everything to automatic and try to stay in the moment. I also have a Tamron 17-50 F2.8 and Canon 75-300 f4-5.6. I have three batteries which I will check out to see if they are all still functional.
In my current life, I have a Fuji x100v but I didn’t think that would be good for Safari photos. I was thinking of trading in the x100v and picking up the Fuji x-T50 when it comes out later this month. That would give me lens flexibility. Problem is that it’s not weather sealed.
Sounds like a new lens paired with the 50D might do the trick. And then keep my x100v for regular everyday life and street shots.
Thoughts?
@@desmondedwards6309 The Fuji x-t50 would for sure be an upgrade!
@@desmondedwards6309 Here is something important!!You might avoid the auto mode because the long lens.. say if you’re shooting at 200mm (remember the 50d is a crop of 1.6x) you may want to go to shutter priority that’s Tv mode set your shutter to double now of your focal length. So if at 200mm zoom, double your shutter to 400 or the next available higher shutter! That way you want get any blur from the long focal length! I’d hate to see you shoot all that and then find you had shutter to slow for the lens! If that doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll explain it further!
@@studioatlanta thanks. I get it. Sounds like I have two decent options. Use the 50D with some manual mode and perhaps a more modern lens or the X-T50.
Excuse me sir, it has no face detection as far as focussing is concerned.
You are so correct! As much as I've used that camera I should have not got that wrong. My apology.. Thanks for pointing out that I said that. I will correct it in the info below! Thank you!!
@@studioatlanta There is sir but on the Live view. Face Detection on its infancy stage yet.
Does it take the EF - L series lens on it ?
Yes it does. I have used the Canon 24-70 f2.8 and the Sigma 24-105 f4.0 often! Thanks for watching!
Is it still good enough for wedding photography job,?
I shot many weddings with it, in its time it was great. However if you compare low light, or the aps-c lens crop you’ll be much happier with a full frame even if it’s a DSLR and not a mirrorless to save money.. I’d say price a 5d mk3 or a canon R6 depending how n your budget. I would say it will make an excellent back up camera. Because the technology has improved so much since it came out.. if you want to send me an email with details I’ll be glad to help you out with an opinion.. I’ve shot weddings for over 40 years.. wow I’m old….but studioatlanta@yahoo.com is my email.. with a few more details we could find the perfect camera for you..
Thanks alot for the advise. I just start to work on wedding photography and other event. After borrowing and using 60D i felt, it produce nice pictures with good tone even just using jpg format and more editable color and amazing dinamic range when i use RAW format, but depent on budget. I think maybe there some other option and i found this 50D with magnesium alloy body and cheapher than 60D and maybe i will upgrade to fullframe for the next, for information i've bought it yesterday for wedding photography but the camera not come yet. It would be really nice to learn other advice from The Photographer with 40 years experience👍🏼👍🏼
@@Syahdan_graphic anytime you have a question just let me know, if I don’t have an answer I’ll make one up!! lol.. kidding! Good luck.
ISNT THIS MADE OUT OF NITHING BUT PLASTIC???
Magnesium Alloy..
I Believe the “Rebel” line of cameras were plastic.
I HAD SEEN ANOTHER REVIEWER SAYING AFTER THE 40D THE MODELS AFTER WERE MAINLY PLASTIC AND LIGHTWEIGHT
After 50d they were plastic rubbish@@LordMitac
That’s the 60D
i found one $100 canadian. for just the body is this a great deal?
Absolutely! If it has been cared for can last you many more years!
