18MP, 1080p HD Movies, ISO 6400: Canon redefines the boundaries of the consumer DSLR with the EOS 550D by DPReview

Check out the press release of the Canon EOS 550D at DPReview.com.

Here are some interesting stuff about the Canon 550D:

• 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor - it seems that MP count will simply trickle down from the higher-end models.  More MP may not necessarily mean better quality photos.  Let's find out when we get to see more sample images.

• DIGIC 4 processor with ISO 100-6400 (Expansion to 12800) - ISO 6400 is very good.  That's a big jump already from the Canon 400D which only had maximum of ISO 1800.  Let's hope the image quality at ISO 6400 will be "useable".
