The Best Canon Digital Slrs
Without a doubt the absolute best Canon digital SLR is the next generation model of the camera that brought thousands of film photographers to digital photography: the Canon 1Ds Mark III. Unfortunately, top-of-the-line professional digital SLRs are priced far above the budget of most photographers. There are several camera bodies in Canon's lineup that borrow some of the professional features that the 1Ds Mark III boasts. These cameras attempt to bridge the gap between the consumer camera and the professional, offering high quality performance and features as prices that reflect the budgets of most amateur photographers. The following two camera bodies are recommended frequently to those looking for great price to performance ratios and value.
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi EF-S
The low price and "consumer grade" label of this Canon digital SLR does not reflect a lack of quality or features. Many consider the Rebel XSi to be an excellent investment for both novice and experienced photographers. It offers a 12.2 megapixel image sensor and a powerful digital processor that utilizes technology similar to high end Canon digital SLRs. Moreover, many users find the features and settings easier to find, set, and use when compared to more expensive digital SLRs. The Rebel XSi basically takes the essential features of high-end digital SLRs and puts them in an easy to use package that strips the professional features most amateurs will never use or even know about away.
Canon EOS 50D
This model takes all of the features of the Digital Rebel line and expands upon them. Adding a more advanced image sensor capable of 15.1 megapixels and an enhanced professional grade digital image processor make this camera body the perfect blend of professional features and consumer usability. While some consider the EF-S lens mount on the 50D to be a sign that this is a consumer grade camera, it is actually a beneficial feature. Because of it, the 50D works well as a crossover camera. The EF-S mount allows users to utilize less expensive EF-S mount lenses while the improved image sensor will allow users to get near professional grade results out of more expensive Canon lenses. This body has the ultimate combination of consumer requirements and professional features. It is recommended to the photographer who wants the room to move to the professional level while still utilizing Canon's high quality and cost effective EF-S lens series.
