A larger imaging sensor as in the 5D Mark II will tend to go along with bigger and heavier lenses, while more compact options are available for the smaller-sensor camera 50D.
The following table provides a synthesis of the main physical specifications of the two cameras and other similar ones. If you would like to visualize and compare a different camera combination, you can navigate to the CAM-parator app and make your selection from a broad list of cameras there. The price is, of course, an important factor in any camera decision. The listed launch prices provide an indication of the market segment that the manufacturer of the cameras have been targeting.
The 50D was launched at a markedly lower price by 63 percent than the 5D Mark II, which puts it into a different market segment. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market. The size of the sensor inside a digital camera is one of the key determinants of image quality. A large sensor will generally have larger individual pixels that offer better low-light sensitivity, provide wider dynamic range , and have richer color-depth than smaller pixels in a sensor of the same technological generation.
Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors tend to be associated with larger, more expensive camera bodies and lenses.
The sensor area in the 5D Mark II is percent bigger. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 1. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio sensor width to sensor height of It is noteworthy in this context that the two cameras were released in close succession, so that their sensors are from the same technological generation. The resolution advantage of the Canon 5D Mark II implies greater flexibility for cropping images or the possibility to print larger pictures.
The maximum print size of the 5D Mark II for good quality output dots per inch amounts to The corresponding values for the Canon 50D are Since , DXO Mark has published sensor performance measurements that have been derived using a consistent methodology.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the 5D Mark II offers substantially better image quality than the 50D overall score 16 points higher. The advantage is based on 1. The adjacent table reports on the physical sensor characteristics and the outcomes of the DXO sensor quality tests for a sample of comparator-cameras. Which are the most popular comparisons?

The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in. The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
An optical viewfinder or OVF allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect. We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments. Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
Optics 1. Full format. One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality. The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. With the wide angle, you get a pretty deep DOF beyond a couple of feet, and thus you don't need to constantly stay after the AF. Until the AF system gets much better, the video feature is just a novelty feature for me. Trying to manually focus on moving subjects is an exercise in futility, and the built in contrast detection AF is slower than molasses.
If you have watched most of the videos from the 5D MKII, you'll see that they all generally use the same technique. Camera mounted on a tripod, lens prefocused to a set distance, and then the video shot. I think the AF needs to be improved to get beyond this. People that do move the camera, generally use a wide angle lens, which gives larger DOF after a short distance, and thus is easier to manually focus. It's just a shame that it's paired up with an AF that is not designed for video.
I think video will become much more usable in the next release of the 1 Series bodies, which have a much more advanced AF system. Honestly, the 50D has far more detail than the shot from the 5DII. The 5DII shot is smeared and lacks detail but the noise appears nicer. What does it mean? Absolutely nothing, because I don't know what the distance, crop, NR setting, or focal point.
Both require proper exposure to get the best results, and after full PP, both produce excellent images. Nothing new and not dramatic as it would be expected the 5DII to have better high ISO capabilities by way of larger pixels and the same generation processor.
