The reason I got the CA-50 was because after many years the mic on the CA-40 stopped working. I could still plug in/out of the CA-40 and could still use the CA-30 for that... but for the price the CA-50 with the larger display seemed like something I wanted to add. The CA-50 is essentially the same tuner as the CA-40, but again, with the larger display. It seems to have the same accuracy.
About the accuracy of all these Korg tuners? They are SO accurate that I can intonate my guitars and basses with them. They are much more accurate than most clip-on tuners, particularly Snark tuners. This is particularly a great instrument for tuning band instruments. It's response time is very fast, much faster than many cell phone tuners. Because it is a dedicated tuner you can get it turned on quickly without having to scroll through menus.
Any downsides to this tuner? If you're in a quiet room the mic works great. If you're in a loud (or quiet) environment the plug-in feature works great. However, if you're in a loud environment and don't want to plug in, only then are you better off with a clip-on tuner. And for that I recommend the Korg Pitchcrow over all but the TC Electronic Polytune or the Peterson clip-on Strobotune. The only other downside that I can see is that this model does not have a built-in metronome. I have several stand-alone metronomes so that was not an important feature for me. I guess this review makes me a Korg fan-boy, but I assure you I have no relationship to Korg other than being a customer.
UPDATE:
It turns out that whoever manufactured the one I had for ten yeas either isn't still manufacturing these or have lowered their quality standards significantly.
The new KORG tuner isn't anywhere near as good as the previous one. I'd go so far as to say that this tuner is fine as a tuner for electric guitars because the input is direct and not through the mic. That does make it a bit inconvenient to use because one either needs a spare cable out and available for tuning or one needs to turn the amp up or put the tuner right in front of the amp. Not useful for gigs. Also the accuracy of the tuner is questionable, If I tune the guitar using this then using another tuner I need to re-tune the guitar. If I compare the other tuner with a third brand I don't need to re-tune the guitar to fit in with the third tuner. Upsides, it's cheap,
