[QUOTE="macshark, post: 1440238, member: 38208"] From what I was able to read today, it appears that 50D and 500D have the same sensor. However, the 50D has still much better ergonomics: [B]1.[/B] Viewfinder: [B][I]EOS 50D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]95% frame coverage [*]0.95x magnification [*]22mm eyepoint [/LIST] [B][I]EOS500D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]95% frame coverage [*]0.87x magnification [*]19mm eyepoint [/LIST] [B]2.[/B] Controls [B][I]EOS 50D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]Quick control wheel [*]Multi control selector[/LIST] [B][I]EOS500D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]Four way controller[/LIST] [I]Being able to change the exposure compensation using the quick control wheel and change the AF point using the multi control selector without taking ones eye off the viewfinder may be a crucial ergonomic feature for many birders.[/I] [B]3.[/B] AF Sensor [B][I]EOS 50D:[/I][/B] All 9 AF points are cross type at f/5.6 [B][I]EOS500D:[/I][/B] Only the center AF point is cross type at f/5.6 [B]4.[/B] Frame rate [B][I]EOS 50D:[/I][/B] 6.3 fps up to 90 JPEG / 16 RAW frames [B][I]EOS500D:[/I][/B] 3.4 fps up to 170 JPEG / 9 RAW frames [B]5.[/B] Shutter [B][I]EOS 50D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]Max shutter speed 1/8000 sec [*]100,000 exposure durability [*]Flash X-Sync: 1/250 sec [/LIST] [B][I]EOS500D:[/I][/B][LIST] [*]Max shutter speed 1/4000 sec [*]Durability not specified [*]Flash X-Sync: 1/200 sec [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
