I'll look at all that in this review and make some comments on the significance of any differences from the EOS 40D. Sounds great, but some reviews have suggested that the noise level of the Canon EOS 50D may be higher than the 40D.

Of course Canon added much more to the Canon EOS 50D than just another 5MP. What they came up with is the Canon EOS 50D, which at 15.1MP is now the class leader as far as pixels go. I'm sure Canon were under significant pressure from their marketing department to leap over the competition and come up with the highest possible pixel count camera consistent with maintaining traditional Canon image quality. While more pixels doesn't always make a better camera, it's nevertheless a number that many camera buyers regard as important and so if you want to sell a camera you'd better make sure it's competitive in terms of pixel count. The Nikon D300 and D90 are both 12.3MP, the Pentax K20D is 14.6MP, the Sony A700 is 12.2MP and the Sony A350 is 14.2MP. With the 10.1MP EOS 40D as their main "advanced amateur" or "prosumer" level camera Canon had received some criticism on the grounds that almost all competing cameras (and even some entry level cameras) had a higher pixel count.

It's an upgrade of the EOS 40D, though as of right now Canon haven't discontinued the 40D so as of right now (11/08) The Canon EOS 50D is an addition to the Canon EOS lineup rather than a replacement of the EOS 40D. I may get some more time later today for further investigations.The Canon EOS 50D is Canon's most recent addition to their "prosumer" DSLR lineup.

I'm guessing that I should go with the Wu-1a option, but maybe if I'm using the phone as a hotspot, rather than the camera as an access point, then maybe the other mode is appropriate. Then there is that the only choices for wifi connection offered are to connect to openWRT/Linux, or Wu-1a/1b (or whatever the Nikon wifi adaptors are called). There's also a "start server" button in the app, but no clues as to what that does or when it needs to be used. Then I have to put a server address into the app, and I figure that that is the IP issued to (or chosen by, depending on the wifi mode) the camera. DSLRdashboard is said to work with anything that uses PTP/IP, but I can't figure out which wifi setting on the camera enables that. The TS-E was used straight-on as a high-quality 24mm prime with no tilt, no shift. Indoor architectural photo, 5D (original), TS-E 24mm, 11 shots. Sample of product photography: 5D (original), 70-200mm F4L at 126mm, 6 shots. It may just be a terminological thing to start with. I have had good results with Helicon Focus. I've tried that, and the smartphone modes, but no breakthrough yet.
