Canon 50D

The blogosphere is buzzing this morning about the release of Canon’s EOS 50D, the successor to Canon’s ESO 40D prosumer model. Features include a 15-megapixel DIGIC 4 processor, ISO sensitivity up to 12,800, a 3-inch 920,000 dot LCD, Live View, a self-cleaning system, and more.

But where is the successor to Canon’s popular full frame 5D? Although a fine camera considering it’s 3 years old now, the Canon 5D is being seriously trumped in the feature department by Nikon’s recently released D700.
