The EOS 550D redefines the boundaries of Canon’s consumer DSLR range, incorporating technologies and features more commonly found in semi-professional DSLRs into the compact, lightweight body favored by consumers.

With a newly-developed 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, coupled with Canon’s advanced DIGIC 4 image processor photography enthusiasts are empowered to explore new levels of creativity. It has a non-crippled full HD movie mode (1920 x 1080 at 24, 25 and 30 fps, 720P at 60/50 fps, manual controls and external microphone socket) with upgraded metering.

The 550D inherits the 450D and 500D’s body and construction, and other than the surface finish and minor tweaks to the casing, it stays essentially the same. It’s primarily made from three materials; a stainless steel chassis, the mirror box which is made of high-strength ‘engineering plastic’ and the body made of a special lightweight polycarbonate resin with glass fiber, which also provides some electromagnetic shielding. Construction is very good with no creaks or rattles.

The EOS 550D has been designed to satisfy the most demanding photography enthusiasts and the UK prices start from £769.95 for the body only option.

Reasons to Buy the Canon Lens

I generally like to stick to matching brand names with brand names, and my research has shown that most people on the web agree that doing so with Canon lenses is worth it. The first reason for the popularity of this Canon lens is image quality. Canon lenses are well-corrected for distortion, and have excellent color fidelity and contrast. In addition, they are characterized by superior lens construction. Canon lenses are the choice of many imaging professionals the world over, whether those lenses are being used on EOS SLR cameras or on broadcast cameras.

Canon Lens Critics

As with any product, Canon lenses have their critics. For example, I found one person who felt that on the Canon lens the auto focus seemed slower than and not as decisive as the other lenses they had owned, especially in low light.

Canon Lens Facts and Benefits

Lenses are extremely complex and sensitive pieces of equipment in which a myriad of problems can occur. Canon lenses are adjusted through the camera body with no on-lens control. All modern Canon lenses focus with a motor in the lens, which may be one of the main reasons my mother and I got such great photos. If you are near-sighted, this is an especially nice feature since it is difficult to focus manually if you wear glasses.

Used Canon Lenses

Another great reason to invest in the higher priced Canon brand lens is that camera lenses tend to hold their monetary value over time, while camera bodies do not. I have bought both a used Canon lens and a new Canon lens for work and home and, frankly, I could not tell any difference other than the price.
