The 50D is also much heavier in your hand than the xti you are used to. Digital: 6D, 5D, 50mm f/1.8 Mk 1, 85mm f/1.8, 17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200L f/4, 550EX, 580EX ii (2), 430EZ (2)

From the powershot to the XT to the XTI onwards right up to the 1D mark III and around the corner to the ae-1. Adventurous Photographer, Writer

Dec 06, 2008 18:22 | #6 I owned a 40D and now have the 50D...my perception is that the AF is faster on the 50D than was on my 40D when using my 70-200 f/2.8. Nothing scientific...just perception. I think you will be pleased with either if you choose to upgrade.

Most of those were from a 70-300mm IS lens. No focusing problems with lens or camera. With the XTi, you may already have what you need for sports photography without buying new equipment. However, if you want faster focusing performance, start with the lens. With Canon's collection of recent DSLR's, lenses make more more difference in autofocus speed than bodies. The fastest focsuing lens for the money may be a Tamron 28-300mm superzoom, of all things.

The AF algorithm IIRC is different in the 50D and it may be a touch faster but I'd doubt it be very noticeable. Gallery: http://tomyi.smugmug.com/
