Compared to the EOS 50D, the following changes have been made, including:

• Resolution increase to 18.1 megapixels APS-C CMOS Sensor (50D has 15.1 megapixels).
• Maximum sensitivity increased to ISO 6400 (12800 as optional expanded setting) (50D has max 3200 ISO, with 6400 and 12800 as optional expanded settings).
• Video recording, with same controls as the 550D/Rebel T2i.
  • 1080p Full HD video recording at 24p, 25p and 30p with drop frame timing.
  • 720p HD video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
  • 480p ED video recording at 50p (50 Hz) and 60p (59.94 Hz).
• Manual control of audio recording (same as newer firmware on 5D MkII).
• Articulating screen (3.0”) with a slightly higher resolution of 1,040,000 pixels, 288 ppi, in 3:2 ratio (50D has 4:3).[3]
  • The 60D screen, unlike that of the 50D, matches the aspect ratio of the sensor.
• Lower maximum burst frame rate of 5.3 fps (50D maximum is 6.3 fps).
• SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (50D uses CompactFlash).
