jill_huang Posted October 14, 1999 Share Posted October 14, 1999 I would like to choose between EOS-50 & EOS-300. I found both bodies cost similar price. which one is a better choice for the person whohave interest in photography and travelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus_schroiff1 Posted October 14, 1999 Share Posted October 14, 1999 Overall I would recommend the EOS 50. The EOS 300 has the better AF system but that's about it. Featurewise both cameras are quitecomparable but the EOS 50 has the edge in regard of build quality,viewfinder brillance and ergonomics (-> back dial). On the longrun this makes more fun.

wen_wei_chiang1 Posted October 14, 1999 Share Posted October 14, 1999 I bought the 300. Great camera. Does what I need. In auto everything mode, I'd guess it is the more accurate camera. As I improve and use more manual settings, I find it wanting in convenience (though not features). eg separate shutter/aperture thumbwheels, quick exposure compensation, etc. As of now, I wouldn't trade the 300 for the 50 but if I had to do it again, I would get the 50E.

brad_hutcheson Posted October 16, 1999 Share Posted October 16, 1999 The 300 doesn't have flash exposure compensation on the body. The 50 does. While there are a lot of other features I would miss (I have an Elan IIe (50E)), that one is the most important to me. The 300 is a competent camera I'm sure, but the lack of control for things like that concerns me. Some people would miss the ability to use full time manual focusing, and I would miss the thumbwheel on the back. I'd go with the 50 if you like control.
