Newly designed CMOS sensor

New manufacturing processes, plus redesigned photo diodes and microlenses, extend the light gathering capabilities of the new CMOS 15 megapixels sensor, allowing more pixels to be fitted on the CMOS sensor without too much compromising image quality. These changes ensure improved high ISO performance and low noise. High-speed, low light shooting is also enabled by ISO levels of 3200, expandable to an ultra-sensitive 12800.
 

The new EOS Integrated Cleaning System

This new system, as appeared on the 50D, includes the improved Self Cleaning Sensor Unit with a new fluorine coating, increases protection of image quality by helping to reduce, repel and remove unwanted dust from the sensor. Stubborn particles can be removed automatically in post-production with Dust Delete Data and Canon’s included Digital Photo Professional software.

Reactivity : thanks DIGIC IV

Canon’s new DIGIC 4 processor is fast enough to allow up to 6.3fps continuous shooting, in bursts of up to 90 JPEGs with a UDMA card. Used with Canon’s wide area AF system, which locks onto subjects with 9 individual cross type sensors, stunning action sequences can be captured – even in low-light conditions. This makes the EOS 50D particularly suited to sports and wildlife shooting. DIGIC 4 works with the CMOS sensor to deliver 14-bit image processing, for smooth gradation and natural-looking colours.

Better 3" LCD screen

A new 3.0” Clear View VGA LCD provides a wide angle-of-view image review, with more of clarity for accurate focus checks in playback. By switching to Live View mode, which displays a real-time image on the LCD, photographers can enjoy simplified shooting from awkward angles, or connect to a PC for remote shooting. Live Mode now offers three ways to auto focus: Quick AF, Live AF, and new Face Detection Live AF, which optimizes focus based on faces detected in the frame – for fast, spontaneous portraiture.
