But I'm sure that being a 'semi-pro' must make some difference (tho' it sounds remarkably like marketing-speak - I look at the spec myself! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />)Having said that, I can't take the D90 seriously with it's video recording capability (but apparently we can expect this with Canon, they just lag behind!)Personally, as far as the 50D goes, I have no interest in more pixels (I avoid cropping into my pics) but I would be interested in higher ISOs if the noise is controllable (like on D300) - alas we're still stuck with inferior +/- 2.0 exposure compensation (unlike Nikon's +/- 5.0)</blockquote>
