Pick the Canon EOS 50D if you prioritize higher resolution, faster burst shooting, or a slightly lower price. The Pentax K-200D stays the better choice if in-body stabilization is essential for your shooting style or if you prefer a lighter setup (though weight isn’t listed, Pentax DSLRs of this era were typically comparable). Choose based on whether megapixels and speed or stabilization matter more for your needs.
