There&#8217;s no official review of this feature yet&#8230;but imagine shooting your home videos though interchangable high-end lenses?\u00a0 Damn, what reason is left to buy a dedicated camcorder?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/previews\/canoneos50d\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Canon 50D<\/a> has just been announced too.
