This comparison is based on only one photo shot on each camera as I'm crazy busy these days, as much as I could to make a fair comparison regarding the 3D pop, the vibe, the micro contrast or tonality as some may call it, I believed the lower density, bigger pixels helps to make more vibrant photos especially with the 40D being early enough to have only 10MP and late enough to shoot 14bit raw. The result, as you will see in below, is not good news for my newer EOS M50, or rather the many new cameras it may represent. The comparison is made with the new to me, a used copy of Canon EOS 40D.
First of all, these two images are the best quality raw photos taken with first, the 40D, and second with the M50 both with a 50mm 1.8 STM lens in P mode, both cameras chose 1/250s, f5.0 although I had to manually set the 40D to use ISO100 as its auto ISO defaults to 400, I then took both photos into lightroom, enabled lens profiles, adjusted WB to be exactly the same number, everything else the same.
Now keep in mind when judging image quality the forum compression plays a factor here.
40D
Now the M50
And don't jump to conclusions yet, let's see some side by side comparisons, I've downsized the M50 photo to match the 40D resolution. Left 40D, right M50.
End of the comparison. I think the result speaks for itself. I'd really love to see more photos of the 40D kind.
