Eliminates the error 500D and something placed on it ... CLASS

So I'm sure a Fotolaie. But I have very good pictures taken with the EOS 300, I is on the market for them and has always been a Canon fan. Ixus in different variations followed.
Only no digital SLR camera.
Now I have followed the market for a long time and with the 500D Canon has probably scared away many followers. Although certainly a good camera, there were better and cheaper.

Now I was back again and again torn. Nikon, Pentax or Panasonic ...
Then the 550D was launched a few weeks ago. Tests consistently positive and improves video function clearly, but what was taking pictures. Still the annoying noise and exaggerated colors, as with the 500D ??

No. The best that can be expected under 1,000 euros. Class.

Hardly noise up to ISO 6400. The color a dream. Even in the fully automatic without finishing. Great.
It dissolves quickly from thinking under a third of a second, even with Live View.
On time, you realize there is no delay, so fast can not even aim at the image one.

KIT lens, this camera better than the reputation. Sufficient for macro shots at first of loosely. Think to warm up with the camera ideal. And very easy. Light criticism. In Manual Focus something easy to turn ...

Lightning sufficient to 5m ... For more should a Metz 44 AF or more ago, think also for family celebrations etc.

Well the wait staff is Canon-Like. If you've had a SLR from Canon, it is virtually the same.

And a treat is 3 inches and 1 million pixels of screen. Terrific. I have not seen so far. Unfortunately still not schwenbar, I'd like that also because of the protection during transport.
But so what color good light.

What is still missing, the battery lasts forever, until I wanted a second but I think in 1000 towards the trigger gets loose. flash one probably less but is more than adequate. Quick loading, approximately 1.5 hours. Then it's full.

Software is not to be used quite well, but my Mac has everything detected immediately and with iPhoto that's no problem.

Let's come to an important detail! Very important I think.

The memory card. Please buy no crap, just because he's 5 euros cheaper. The revenge! The camera has 18 megapixels. The tugs at the capacity. approximately 6 MB per photo JPEG, RAW Well let 3-4. So it comes to SPEED. I have a Sandisk Extreme III 8 Gb with 30 MBit per second transmission. THAT was / is worth gold, especially with continuous shooting.

But even when dubbing the data 75 photos highest quality less than 1 minute. that's the way it has to be.
I reingestellt above in the overview a few photos.

Find the camera very well done, even the feel is good. The plastic is a polymer but no matter.

If anyone is considering 500D or 550D or Nikon D90, I have to say clearly that Canon 550 # 1, certainly costs more than the 500 BUT, first she has a slot for SDXC cards, has an HDMI connection, quality of photos is certainly the more 100 Euros worth and the HD movie option is also still there. On our LCD and plasma fantastic quality, but you should avoid here too large zoom lenses ... wobbles a bit. But with the kit lens perfectly adequate, and why bother with video camera, if you're a typical family man who his children, dogs or pleasure filming times. Caution the Camera is very warm here. Think period films is not good.

So who waits too long, it is your own fault. For me, a clear buy and the fun factor is priceless.
Each photo a hit and something special.

CANON, if you only ever so what would you deliver ...
