Canon 50D

Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera (15.1MP, 3" LCD, ISO 12800) (Canon Malaysia)

With the same rugged, conservative body as the 40D, the Canon EOS 50D's only distinguishing mark is the silver bezel on its mode dial, and there are a few minor changes to how the buttons and controllers are used, but for the most part the 50D's body is unchanged.
The Canon EOS 50D body is a magnesium alloy, with slightly improved seal against dust and water.
