About this camera
The Canon EOS 50D is a mid-range APS-C DSLR from the enthusiast line that sat between the consumer Rebel bodies and the professional 1D series. It has a 15.1MP sensor, a magnesium-alloy body with a degree of environmental resistance, a top-plate information display and the quick control dial on the back that marks out Canon's enthusiast bodies.

Best for
The 50D is a capable, inexpensive route into Canon DSLR photography with a body that feels far more substantial than an entry-level camera - twin control dials, a top LCD and fast continuous shooting. Note that it takes CompactFlash cards rather than SD, which are still available but less common than they once were.
Frequently asked questions
Does it take SD cards?
No - the 50D uses CompactFlash. CF cards and readers are still sold, but check you have one before buying, as they are no longer the common standard.
Can I use modern Canon RF lenses?
No. RF lenses are for Canon's mirrorless bodies. The 50D takes EF and EF-S lenses, of which there is a very large and inexpensive second-hand supply.
Is 15MP enough today?
For prints up to A3 and all screen use, yes. The bigger practical differences against a modern camera are high-ISO performance and autofocus in live view.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
