The 50D is similar to its predecessor 40D in a number of ways. The menu navigation, the white balance, the construction of the pop-up flash and the size of the LCD display (3.0 ") are the same. However, the display has a higher resolution with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels or 307,200 pixels EOS models in this series use the standard BP-511 battery.

Extensions

GPS connection

A GPS device can be connected to the camera via the WFT-E3 data transmitter in order to record the exact location of each photo. The coordinates are then written directly into the Exif data of the image and saved with the image ( geo-imaging ).

Magic Lantern Video

The manufacturer-independent firmware extension Magic Lantern has also made it possible to make H.264 video recordings with the camera at 30 frames per second since 2013 , but without sound. The video option was not available with the manufacturer's firmware.
