Canon's EOS 550D has lovely design and great image quality, but as our review shows, the kit lens isn’t what it could be, and the same goes for value ...
Excellent high ISO performance, great for shooting in dark environments, good burst mode, Full HD video recording
Slow focusing at times, inaccurate focussing at times
Canon's EOS 550D digital SLR is aimed at users new to the SLR scene, but it's a very capable camera for all types of shooting scenarios. It excels in dark conditions, it's great for portraits, and it can even be used for sporting and action shots. The Ful...
High ISO image quality is very good. We shot in an almost dark room at ISO 6400 without any high hopes and found the image perfectly acceptable. Noise reduction is not too aggressive and the high pixel density doesn’t seem to have increased image no...

Abstract: Canon’s EOS 550D makes an excellent entry-level camera, as it offers a wide range of features in a well-designed and easy to use body. Full HD video recording is available with full manual control of exposure and of focusing, as well as still image mod...
High grade, semi professional specification in a manageable consumer level camera chassis, best-in-class 18MP stills resolution and 1920x1080 Full HD movies, compatible with a wide range of additional lenses
Plastic-y build compared with true semi pro models, requires period of familiarity
For those aspiring pros who want a capable multimedia tool that still resembles a conventional DSLR, the Canon EOS 550D should come near the top of your list as a safe option. If you don't already own a set of lenses, laying out almost £900 for your first...
