Capture your story in stunning detail with the EOS 550D. With the
creative freedom to capture the decisive shot, see all the detail of
your holiday sunset or follow action in the local football match.
Canon’s triple-digit EOS cameras have long been the yardstick by which
consumer digital SLRs are measured. The 550D is fairly pricey, but with
the same 18-megapixel resolution, metering system and 1080p video mode
as the upmarket 60D and 7D, it’s more of a cut-price enthusiasts’ model
than an overpriced entry-level SLR.
The sophisticated 63-point iFCL metering system is the same as the 7D's,
and it's much better than the older 500D's 35-point system. It uses two
sensors to gather the colour and luminance information that helps to
calculate the correct exposure settings. It also takes subject distance
information from the auto-focus system and balances the exposure based
on that,
