Official Canon 5D Mark II and 50D Philippine Prices

Tonight would be Canon Philippines’ Canon Photographers night. Cameras that will be introduced are the following and their corresponding Canon Marketing Philippines (CMPI) prices. More often than not, prices at Hidalgo would be lower. Prices indicated here are collated from various Philippine photography forums and should there be changes, I will be updating it after the event later.

Good times for Canon users ahead! Personally, I am eyeing the 50d but the price of 5D Mark II is cheap for a full-frame camera.

I am a software developer who works mostly with Microsoft technologies but consider myself open to other technologies. I have started with open source technologies but it was the Microsoft stuff that jumpstarted my career so well, so my loyalty goes to ahm, ehrm, what works best! I talk about a lot of things under the sun but even if we disagree on some discussions, I would definitely respect your views on it. Loves traveling, adventures, reading, cooking, and photography when I don't sit in front my computer. Who ever said software developers are boring people?

After a time of doing researches between the EOS 50D and 40D i decided to buy the latter. Consumers would be generally attracted with the 15.1 megapixel, VGA screen, bumped ISO and the new Digic 4 processor of 50D. But aside from these the 50D didn’t really leapfrogged the features of the 40D, except of course the price difference. So far the 40D is the best in its class. 50D has still to put a show to really appreciate its performance.

That’s one of the reason why the existing 40D owners are still “happy” with their gear despite in an almost < 1 yr release difference of the two models. At any rate, I am still not yet sure if I’ll upgrade or not (coming from a lowly 400D user). 🙂
