For example, the fastest CF memory cards available will save minutes over slower cards when transferring a large number of images. If you don't want to read explanations of specs, my CompactFlash card recommendation is :.
Once you have a working CF card, expand your options with another lens. Check out the 7 Best Canon 50D lenses. Larger or smaller cards are going to be more expensive per GB. A professional card will not add a noteworthy amount to the price.
Having a high-speed card will remove the need to replace the card with a camera upgrade. The UGreen 4-in-1 memory card reader can use four memory card formats. These include all memory cards camera manufacturers use in all but the most recent professional-level cameras. The USB 3. There are overwhelmingly favorable customer reviews for the reader, which I agree with.
I would recommend it because it has worked with all the computers Windows, Mac, and Linux I have used with it. The cable keeps memory card slots from interfering with other accessories or devices that are plugged into a laptop or desktop. When I looked for a more compact card reader that would be easier to travel with, I had to send a couple of orders back. I experienced the most commonly seen problem mentioned in customer reviews, the readers were not recognized by my computer.

Continuous mode speeds are very good, our measured speeds matched the camera's rated 6. Note that in our cycle time testing we shoot a target consisting of a fine-grained digital noise pattern, designed to be very hard to compress. This gives us worst-case buffer capacity numbers: You're likely to see greater buffer capacity when shooting more normal subjects.
The flash took only 1. Connected to a computer or printer with USB 2. Bottom line, the Canon 50D is very fast in just about every aspect of its operation. Continuous modes are fast enough for most moving subjects, and shutter lag and cycle times are fast as well. Excellent performance overall for a prosumer model. The Canon 50D uses a custom rechargeable lithium-ion battery for power, and ships with a charger. Although battery life is good, we recommend you pick up a spare battery and keep it freshly charged and on-hand for extended outings, and especially if you plan on using Live View mode a lot.

Canon 50D Performance Tweet Share. Navigate Review Jump to review page Worst case buffer clearing time. First number in each set is for the Kingston, second number is for the SanDisk. Slower cards will produce correspondingly slower clearing times. Slow cards may also limit length of bursts in continuous mode. ISO sensitivity and noise reduction settings can also affect cycle times and burst mode performance. Time to capture while forcing flash to fire. Metering pulses from flash sometimes slow shutter response.
This mode usually shows no speed increase with our static subject; we have no way to measure performance with moving subjects. For most cameras, shutter lag is less in manual focus than autofocus, but usually not as fast as when the camera is "prefocused".
There was noticeable variation between shots here, here were two distinct clusters of different lag times in our data. Some came in at 0. This is phase-detect autofocus, the camera drops the mirror to focus, then raises it to grab the shot.
