I'd imagine theres LOTS you should know but I think you need to be a bit more precise in the information you seek..............

Remember Google is your friend

I have a 50D and have found that you need good glass for it to give you optimum results. Hope this makes sense.

Why the 50D?
That answer will help say what else you need to know

I agree about the good glass bit but infact any body at all will shine with better glass , some more than others..

there is one for sale and I think it would be a good up grade from my 20d. I was just interested to know what people thought about them and if any pit falls.

What do you find lacking in the 20D?

I really dont think you need to worry about any issues with the 50D unless you shoot at ISO 6400 and pixel peep ( noise)
It is a seriously well sorted Camera which was compared with the 40D ( for noise) at its launch.
This seemed to overshadow its real improvements over the 40D but It is a real upgrade from the 20D, a little less so from the 40D

In short, I dont know any 50D owners who would like to take it back to the shop

sorry for not getting back sooner I have been away.
I missed out on the 50D so will keep looking till one comes up at the right price.
I like the 20D just feel it is getting a bit dated now.
