Canon EOS 50D (Body Only)

Pros: fast shutter (6 fps)
great image quality
fast focus

Cons: none although there is no video capture

Summary: I purchased the 50D as an upgrade to my 20D and I am very happy with the camera. The 3" clear view screen is ideal for previewing photos. Although the camera is capable of using the screen for LiveView photos, I don't use that feature. I have used the camera for aviation photography and the fast shutter is ideal for shooting fast moving jets. The camera is also ideal for shooting portraits, although the full-frame 5D Mark II is probably better for that task. The BP-511 batteries are compatible with the 20D, and that came in handy. This camera is an ideal pro-sumer tool for excellent photographs.
