What it doesn’t have is the 7D’s hefty alloy construction and eight frames per second (fps) Continuous Shooting mode. The 550D can manage 3.7fps, which isn’t bad, but can only keep it up for 6 RAW files or 34 JPEGs, which is somewhat disappointing. Eve...
Quality build, High-res 18Mp sensor, Superb ISO performance, Improved intelligent metering, Full HD movie recording
Plastic body only, Cheap and basic kit lens, Cramped optical viewfinder, Cluttered top dial, Clunky movie autofocus
The Canon EOS 550D is not quite Canon's highest-spec'd consumer digital SLR, but it still packs a mighty punch.The EOS 550D sits just below the EOS 50D and the more professionally orientated EOS 7D in Canon's rather cluttered product line-up...
Excellent high-definition movie mode; good high-ISO performance; great design and layout
Detail could be crisper; needs a decent kit lens; pricey for an amateur camera
The Canon EOS 550D does so many things right that it seems churlish to mark it down for anything, but whether you should fork out for this dSLR depends on what you're planning to do with it. It's fantastic for HD movies and great for low-light, high-I...

I like the Canon EOS 550D, and although £750 is by no means a small amount of money, it does seem to buy a lot of technology. Importantly, the EOS 550D also delivers excellent image quality making it a good choice for enthusiasts looking for a sub-£1,0...
At £849 with Canon’s standard kit lens, the Canon 550D is by no means cheap – especially for a camera aimed more towards first-time shooters rather than more experienced users. As with most new models though, you can expect the price to fall over time,...

Overall, we're extremely excited about the potential of the T2i. When the EOS 7D came out, the prospect of HD video on top of 18 Megapixels capability was exciting but not affordable. With the T2i, this is closer to earth and will put HD video capabili...
