Canon Eos 50d Digital
What’s the difference between these two Canon lenses?

Both of them are Canon macro lenses. One is about two times the price of the other one.

and
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1-to-1 Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras/$959.00

I’m planning on getting a Canon EOS 50D in the near future.

Here are a few of the differences:
- One is an L lens, one is not
- L version has IS (image stabilization)
- L version has slightly better build quality

If you’re deciding which one you should get, buy the non-L version. Why? It’s half the price but is just as sharp as the L version. In my opinion the L version isn’t much of an improvement in terms of image quality. And although it features hybrid image stabilization, you probably won’t need it much unless you’re going to shoot portraits. But of course, purchasing a sturdy tripod can compensate for IS.

How to Recover Lost Images from Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera

Both professional and amateur photographers, nowadays, are more than frequently shocked by the loss of images right from their cameras. The following article provides a couple of solutions. It will be specially interesting if you use Canon EOS 50D DSLR.

Canon EOS 50D has CF Type I and II memory cards for its storage media. These cards, in spite of their data safeguard technologies, can easily get logically damaged resulting in data loss. Sometimes such loss is serious, and your computer’s data backup program may be of no help. Then, you need some specially developed digital image recovery software .

Suppose, you have completed your press assignment by taking images of a press conference at the state chief minister’s office. But, when your reporting senior asks them, you find your card is all empty. Now, you are at risk, but at a loss.

Causes:

If you used a supported and wholesome card when taking the images, there are several possible commitments that could have caused the loss of the images including,

  • unmindfully deleting the picture folder,

  • unmindfully pressing a button resulting in reformatting of your card,

  • popping out or removal of the card from camera while viewing the images or transferring them to another storage media,

  • switching the camera off during previous data transfer or read/write process.

Technically, any of these handling errors can damage a memory card logically, and such a card cannot be accessed until it has been reformatted. If either the third or fourth cause is responsible for the loss, there may appear some error message on your monitor like ‘The card cannot be used’.

Solution:

There are a couple of resorts you can turn to. For the first, reformat your card and then run a data backup program available on your computer. You should not write any data on the formatted card to avoid the images’ getting overwritten to make its recovery impossible. If deletion or formatting was the cause, just jump to your data backup program.

If the problem persists, use some specially written digital image recovery software. Such programs are developed using highly advanced technologies to cater to the image recovery needs of the time.

Thus, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 recovers lost multimedia files of various formats from almost all storage media. Compatible with Windows and Apple Mac operating systems, this image recovery application saves the recovered data in a user-specified location keeping the originals intact.
