The first EOS 50D in the Philippines!

Posted by tekgik under News, Reviews, kaBlog

Canon Marketing Philippines Inc. lend me their pre-production unit of their soon to be released EOS 50D yesterday. This camera  has a 15.1MP sensor and comes with a new tech called “gapless microlens” or “gapless microlenses over each pixel to reduce noise”. This camera is really interesting…  I also asked if i can borrow their EF 300 2.8 L IS to test drive it this weekend and yes it came with the bazooka . I was shooting food yesterday and didnt really enjoyed it much since I need to concentrate on the shoot and used my 5D instead cause i need to shoot RAW and there is no way I can convert 50D’s RAW at this time. Im really excited to play this two very nice combo over the weekend.

First impressions:

• The LCD looks stunning. This is far the best LCD I’ve seen from Canon’s EOS lineup.
• Auto ISO - Yeah the Auto ISO that should have been in the 40D
• Flexible settings with high noise ISO and light optimizer
• Impressive AF
• CA mode - Interesting

Thats it for now since i really need to take time and have a good relationship with the camera “geeking with the toy”

Look for more updates that Il be posting at www.pinoyphotography.org

Special thanks to John Chua for giving me the first dibs to try out this new camera.
