Canon’s EOS 550D has finally landed!

try buying at hidalgo i bought mine from mayers and it only cost 38k with 18-55mm kits lens

I want this so bad! So ganun na talaga siya ka-mahal? Well, february itong blog na to. Nagbago na kaya yung price? I can’t find the updated price in google eh :( Can you please tell me? PLEASE :(

rEALLY THIS CAMERA IS VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE i BOUGHT ONE YOU WONT REGRET IT..

hi.. is this ready for shipping?

I’ve been wanting this, but I’m confused cause it’s lower price than EOS 7D…what’s the difference…

buy kayo sir ng 550D thru ebay! rule breaker tlaga tong new dslr.. i love this! d ko na halos bitawan nung binili ko kagabi..

The D90 will likely take better photos despite the megapixel handicap (if you can call it that). The 550D will probably take better videos. It’s a matter of what your priorities are. On that note, the successor to the D90 will probably attempt to exceed or at least equal the 550D’s specs in terms of photo and video quality. Question is, can you wait for Nikon’s answer to the 550D?

Here’s a comparison between the 7D and 550D (aka Rebel T2i).

Needless to say, they think video between the two are virtually identical (up to ISO 1600). The jury’s still out on photos, though. Haven’t seen a comparison of actual pictures.

A source from a local Canon store says the SRP might be P54,000 (with 18-55 lens). I do hope it’ll be cheaper.

ooh… can’t wait. this will be my 1st ever camera & I’m so excited to get it.

so far, I only used friends’ cameras & never really got my own camera. so good luck to me! :D

i’m seriously considering getting the eos 500d, but here comes the 550d.

@You Won
“1000fps” umm. huh?

A test video of this DSLR is pretty impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xfEw2P6M10

Anyone, can aanyone confirm if a prosumer HD video camera that is comparable to quality of this DSLR? specifically the feature of Canon 7D that can take 1000fps.

I would prefer the 550D instead of the D90 or 50D. Video (1080p 30fps, unlike D90-720p) made with the 550D was virtually identical to that taken with the 7D (in a demo), which is twice the price. They also both have 18 MP sensor and Digic IV I think, although the 7D has more focus points and better burst mode. The 550D is the camera I’ve been waiting for, on paper that is. Still no comprehensive real world reviews, though.

or add less than 10k and you get a canon 50D + 18-55mm lens hehe.
i think the 550D sensor is the same as the 500D.
its just an updated version of 500d.
i dont think it would sell well considering it iss near the price range of nikon d90 and canon 50D.

@symbiandreamsdotcom Thanks a lot! I like your blog too and it’s ranking high in alexa Good job!

buti nalang I haven’t bought the 500D yet hehe..

tempting. im still thinking whether to get this or the pentax kx as an amateur photographer.

Wow…i still haven’t bought my dreAM Canon DSLR and now comes another one…phew…. :-)

@Pochero
I agree…

Anyone know what’s the sensor attached on this one?

is it available in the philippines? where?

oh crap, THAT expensive?! P49,995? It’s only P41,617 Stateside! That’s a whopping 25% of tax/markup/extra costs.

i think i need a new canon and this is it!
