Re: Your camera is fine (and the lens normal)

What you show is longitudinal CA (not all colours focussing on the sam plane in out of focus areas). Very normal for a lens like the 50mm f1.8.

Stopping down the aperture helps, Lightroom has a function to lessen the LoCA and DPP 4.x can get mostly rid of it, when you download the appropriate lens profile in DPP.

I'm inclined to agree.  I do believe there is a bit of longitudinal chromatic aberration, and that's normal.  I just looked at the YouTube link, and I don't understand why you posted it.  You should have known better.  Lenses have aberrations, and you should know that.  You do know that, since you even found the chromatic aberration correction in Lightroom.

I should have mentioned before that if you want people to look at problems with your images, you should post the actual images, not a video of you flipping around through files.

DPP has lens corrections that are based on Canon's extensive data on your lens, for raw files.  LR and other programs have good approximations.  As I mentioned, the camera has corrections for jpeg files.  Use them.  These will correct for latitudinal chromatic aberration.  Longitudinal chromatic aberration is much harder to correct for, and I don't know of any program that attempts it.
