Every once in a while there comes a toy in a man’s life that can’t be overlooked. Unfortunately for me it’s the Nikon D90. Since I have a Canon XTi and some great Canon lenses, I’m kinda stuck with Canon. Looks like I’m weathering the storm (until I make too much money for it to matter). Currently the best competition for the new Nikon camera (in the same Pro-sumer category) is the brand new Canon 50D. It’s an update of the 40D (which my Dad just bought, I should have told him to wait a month).
This camera is a whole order of magnitude better that my current XTi (and twice as expensive to boot). The difference is immediately clear. Better body build, better hardware, and the latest in Canon Image Processing firmware. There are a number of additional improvements, but here is a good article comparing the new 50D to it’s predecessor the 40D. 40D Vs 50D.
