Listed is a virtually new Canon 50D body in EXCELLENT condition. I purchased it new last year (July 2011) and it comes with the original box. The only reason I am upgrading is because I am advancing from hobbyist photography to professional level. My 50D camera has won me several awards in photography and it definitely has an edge over competitive level Rebels and XT models. I highly recommend it for someone looking to enhance their photography quality while staying under the $1,000 mark at the same time. The 50D body retails brand new for $995.00. (There are two very minor and slight scratches --virtually unnoticeable-- on the side of the camera. Does not impair the functionality in any way whatsoever.)
