Canon EOS 550D review
The soon-to-be-released Canon EOS 550D digital SLR (dSLR) camera is the big brother to last year’s EOS 500D model.
Like its sibling, the Canon EOS 550D will offer Full HD video recording (1920×1080p) and a high-resolution 3-inch LCD screen. You can record in Full HD at either 30, 25 or 24 frames per second with full manual control. The 550D adds Movie Crop functionality, which allows you to crop a standard-definition quality movie at around 7x magnification of the original footage.
Another upgrade is the camera’s 18-megapixel CMOS sensor and Digic 4 processor - so while the EOS 500D produces excellent still images, the EOS 550D’s are simply exceptional. ISO range has been expanded to 100-6400 native sensitivity, expandable to 12,800. A handful of new features are apparent, including Live Face Detection AF mode.
The Canon EOS 550D will be released in Australia on February 26 with local pricing to be advised beforehand.
