Good Lighting fast. Produces beautiful low-light images. Large, high-resolution LCD screen. HDMI-out.

Bottom line If Canon had given us a 40D “Mark II” at 10 megapixels with the rest of the upgrades found on the 50D, then I think we would have a killer prosumer camera. However, we are approaching the point where more megapixels become pointless. When Canon and t...
