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.
Canon EOS 550D
18-megapixel sensor
100-6400 ISO (with 12,800 ISO expansion)
1080p & 720p HD video
3.7 frames per second
Live View
The 550D also comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack allowing you to connect an optional microphone in movie mode. It can also autofocus before or during recording with a half-press of the shutter release.
As usual, the Canon 550D comes with a kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm IS lens) and will be priced at Php49,995 or lower (depending on where you get it).
i’m seriously considering getting the eos 500d, but here comes the 550d.

another bad thing about the 550D is you need to buy a new battery grip. old grips wont work.

I Love It!! the price is quite affordable
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.
which one is better, D90 or ito?
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?
it’s the video features that makes this cam an A1. time to explore shortfilms :D

I’ve got already the canon 550D and very interesting to work with it and affordable price.. Can any one teach me to shoot?
I’ve been wanting this, but I’m confused cause it’s lower price than EOS 7D…what’s the difference…
A while ago, we just bought the 550d (body only @P49,950) and the 28-135mm lens (P12,950)but we got it for 70k flat. It’s nice, but I’m still fiddling with all the features, etc. :)
