Hi,

I currently have a Canon 300D, looking to upgrade to the Canon 500D.
Just looking at peoples kit, alot seem to be using the 40D’s / 50D’s etc etc.
Apart from price what is the extra benefit of going for these models over the 500D.

Additionally has anyone picked up a 500D and do they have any feelings on the camera?

Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Take it (500d) and try. You will understand why people take 40/50d. After 300d all three digit canons are very small and their ergonomy is poor. So is the quality. Cheap plastic – that’s it.

Hi Piotr,

I’ll take your word…….a quick one …..on another thread I seen the 7D mentioned as an upgrade to the 50D…..Ithink the quote went something like why wan’t it called the 60D….Do you know anything on this.

I heard roumors that a 60D was due out Q1 2010…….so if I am going to upgrade is the 7D and the 60D the same camera?

Cheers

Adrian
