“Good for stills, not for video”

Written on: 28/05/2012

I bought this to replace an previous Canon DSLR aminly for stills but also for video. I was impressed by its HD recording capacibility and that you could plug in a external microphone to over-ride the small built-in mic. These always give tinny sound recordings. The stills are great - no complaints. However, when I tries an external mic, I got a terrible background buzz or loud hissing. By searching web forums I have found that this is a result of the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on the... (read more)

I used a SLR, but mostly on full auto. Recently, I got back in to photography due to a friend who is heavily in to it. He recommended the Canon 500D, as he owned one previously. I... (read more)

This camera, although I mentioned earlier is great for beginners, it is also good for professionals to use, as it has all the functionally you need. The HD video is just an... (read more)

“Great easy to use Digital SLR”

Written on: 24/09/2011 by mowser (6 reviews written)

I've always been a budding photographer but have never progressed much from small pentax digital cameras. Last year I made the investment and bought the 550d follow some research, conversations with camera salesmen and being impressed by a friend's 500D. Since buying one, I've been amazed by the quality of photos that an inexperienced person can produce - I have many of my photos of my kids printed and in frames and proudly on display. I bought a bigger lense as well and this produces... (read more)

Canon EOS 550D

The Cannon 550D has definitely got the seal of approval from many happy consumers. The camera is everything that it is advertised to be, with many consumers agreeing that it has been made easier to use, by becoming lighter and with a better grip. Many consumers are excited by the sharp and crisp pictures that they are capturing on their Cannon 550D. This camera is so well liked that it has got the average consumer rating of 5 out of 5 at Amazon.

Even at Google products, consumers are satisfied, with many having no complaints about the camera. However a few do suggest that the video aspect of the camera is not as great as it could be. This camera is suited to those of us who hate reading manuals, and love to get straight in there, and get snapping away. It has a great screen and a clear menu, so overall a good solid camera.
