Canon wakes up the competition with its EOS-550D DSLR

[DPNow]

Here is a summary or excerpt from an article that has just been published on DPNow:



Don't despair that you can't afford a Canon EOS-7D. Canon has been thinking about you and the net result is the Canon EOS-550D - an 18MP APS-C DSLR, with all the HD movie options you could wish for, and many of the best attributes of the 7D, but for almost half the price.

On paper at least the 550D looks like one helluva camera and a lot of bang for your buck.

I was very dubious about the 18MP sensor when the 7D came out, but by all accounts the sensor is very good, so assuming the 550D has the same sensor, this will be a great addition to the EOS line up.
