 | Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens
Buy new: $1,499.00 If you don´t already own a cam - buy this one, as it is the new improved version of the older model 40D.
The new EOS50D has so much improvement that it is worth the wait. It has higher resolution 15MP, 14bit colordepth, DIGIC 4 processor and higher ISO setting for those pics that are taken in the dark or inside. See comments in introduction. Take the one bundled with the lens.

This EOS 40D model has improvements in resolution, bigger LCD screen, 14bit colordepth and the vibration cleaning. See comments in introduction
