EOS 550D
18.0MP entry-level APS-C Digital SLR Camera
The 550D, known in some markets as the Rebel T2i, follows
in the footsteps of previous models like the 350D, 450D and 500D to
walk the line between point-and-shoot compact cameras and high-end
professional DSLRs. The idea is to offer the quality and features
of a pro system with the user-friendliness of a compact
camera.
Which is why the EOS 550D comes with a Live View display so you can
see your adjustments take effect before you take the shot. The
display also comes in handy for the 550D's other headline feature -
full 1080p HD video.
Improvements over the 500D come in the form of a larger,
18.0-megapixel sensor, up from 15.1; 50/60 fps HD video shooting;
SDXC storage support; and a max ISO of 6400, which is expandable to
12800.
With high-end features like these, the EOS 550D brings the entry
level SLRs closer than ever to their bigger and more powerful
siblings, the 60D and 7D.
