Rob Galbraith DPI: Canon EOS 50D weighs in at 15.06 million image pixels, 6.3 fps

Canon has announced a new digital SLR that puts a 15.06 million image pixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC IV processor and 3 inch (diagonal), 920,000 dot rear LCD into the body of an EOS 40D, then mixes in a variety of image enhancement and minor functionality changes. Called the EOS 50D, the main attraction of the evolutionary model will be its new sensor, which is promised to offer noticeably better quality at upper ISO settings alongside its 50% bump in the number of pixels. The EOS 50D is to ship in early October 2008 at an expected street price of US$1399 in the U.S.
