Canon EOS 550D DSLR camera review by Pocket-lint

Here's another Canon 550D review, this time by Pocket-lint.

Excerpt:

The new Canon EOS 550D was one of those cameras that got us really excited when it arrived at Pocket-lint towers. For some it is a camera that can potentially confuse - packing an 18-megapixel sensor into a consumer DSLR seems counter to the sensible moves to slow the megapixel race in recent years.

But Canon aren't just showing off that they can throw big numbers into a product: the Canon EOS 550D is a camera that really works and that 18-megapixel sensor, whilst producing large files and images that are possibly much larger than you need, doesn't suffer the sort of noise that you might expect from a pixel-crammed sensor.

Full review here.

"Canon 550D A Great Entry Level DSLR"

Smarthouse.com.au has posted their review about the Canon 550D. I would have to agree that this is one of the most versatile dslr cameras released to date.

***
The Canon EOS 550D is a versatile DSLR that can take great photos as well as videos. It has an 18-megapixel sensor, takes good images in low light, promises a burst shooting speed of 3.7 frames per second, and records Full HD movies.


The 550D's body is light, with Canon putting most of the buttons around the 3-inch LCD screen. The mode dial is ‘divided' into two zones – Basic that allows a user to take portrait, landscape, macro, sports, and night shots without having to adjust the settings; and Creative for Program, Shutter, Aperture, Manual, and Depth-of-field control. It also has a movie shooting icon that is able to take videos, which we will discuss later.

Users can find the Menu, Display, Live View, Aperture/Exposure compensation, Quick control, AE/FE lock, and Magnify buttons, as well as the cross keys (that also doubles as White balance, Picture style, Drive mode, and AF mode) at the camera's rear. There is also a dedicated ISO button located on top of the camera right next to the mode dial. Finally, the external microphone-in, remote control, AV out, and HDMI ports are located underneath a flap on the left side.

The 550D is compatible with SD, SDHC, and even SDXC cards, allowing users to have up to 64GB (as of this time) of storage. A user can save in JPEG, RAW, or in both JPEG and RAW, with users being able to choose image quality of JPEG files (no option for RAW available).

There are so many reviews about the Canon 550D or Canon Rebel T2i that I’ve decided to compile them all here, just for you.

Here’s a look at the Canon 550D / Canon Rebel T2i

YOU Can Take Pictures in the Dark with the Canon 550D / Canon Rebel T2i’s High ISO

Have you tried taking pictures at night, but your images look very very dark?  Or, are your night pictures bright but very very grainy?

That’s because pocket cameras can only go as high as ISO 800.

With the Canon 550D / Canon Rebel T2i, YOU can shoot at ISO 6400 which lets in 8 times more light into the camera!

Here’s a sample photo from DPReview.com taken with a Canon 550D / Rebel T2i shot at ISO 6400:  Canon 550D photo at ISO 6400

Take videos at 24fps (frames per second) and it’s like YOU’RE shooting a real movie!

 “Film, multi-media students and Indie filmmakers/hobbyist rejoice, now that DSLR HD video feature is within the reach of the consumers at an entry-level price point. Don't underestimate this HD video feature. In the right hands of creative people and with right video equipment/gears, it can already do MTV's, TV commercials, TV episodes and even some sequences in full feature movies.  Of course for photography use it is still a 18MP killer camera.”  – from user gpx4 of Pinoy Photography Forums

“The new Canon EOS Rebel T2i may be the perfect HDSLR for filmmakers” – Headline article of Camera Town (http://www.cameratown.com/news/news.cfm?id=8733)
