The Canon EOS 50D is a compelling--but not necessarily a must-have--midrange dSLR choice for Canon upgraders.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Canon's newest Rebel delivers video capture at the lowest dSLR price yet.

Canon PowerShot G7

The Canon PowerShot G7 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who've ruled out a budget dSLR.

Canon Pixma MP510

The Canon Pixma MP510 is a middle-of-the-road photo all-in-one, but we like what you get for the price.

Canon Powershot A75

The high-speed capture, very good image quality, and manual exposure controls of this low-cost Canon will appeal to snapshot photographers who like to get creative.

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

The Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can't get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.

Canon Pixma MP460

The Canon Pixma MP460 is a minor update to the MP450. We still like its print quality, but we're disappointed by its scans. Still, it's one of our top choices for a photocentric budget all-in-one.

Canon Vixia HG20

Like its cousin, the flash-based HF11, Canon's Vixia HG20 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance, albeit in a slightly larger, heavier package. However, you get more storage space at a lower price.

Canon EOS 5D (body only) Review

The good: Top-notch, high-resolution images; 35mm-size sensor obviates focal-length conversions; big 2.5-inch LCD; unmatched low-noise images at ISO 1,600 and 3,200.

The bad: Overall build quality and performance typical of much cheaper cameras; no constant ISO display; images show occasional red fringing around highlight transitions; automatic white balance occasionally inconsistent.

The bottom line: A decent midrange digital SLR camera built around a superb sensor, the Canon EOS 5D delivers great images and the familiar 35mm-film-format shooting experience for a comparatively low (though still hefty) price.
