Canon’s EOS 550D has finally landed!

So while I’m away in Boracay, Canon finally showcases its new dSLR yesterday — the Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i and Kiss X4 Digital elsewhere) — with an impressive 18MP sensor and Full HD 1080p video recording.

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

yeah… I like this new camera.. specially the Full HD 1080p video and the live view. But why is the price at 49k to 50k. Wherein the US Price is only $899.99 with the 18-55IS Kit lens.. I guess.. thats’ where tax, marketting and vat comes in.. grrr…. I wonder how much will it cost in hidalgo?
