im sure because they can get people to think twice about looking for a fire sale. if the price difference isnt large, then mot will likely go with the newer model

Nailed it on the t2i head. The image quality from the 550 still stands tall today- and i swear by it, guaranteed!

7d's sensor is a noisy, soft mess.

Canon is embarrassing themselves. Its entirely pathetic how long canon is taking in putting out new product...they are showing that they only care about high end models that come pout the gate...

cons: your comment. cmon man :P

Exactly what im saying. Dont forget about the 70d- this is the 70d's price range, and is almost certain not to come with these features

Canon just got served. Look at that base price for the body. WOWO.

Seriously contemplating going Canon + Nikon...who the f wants to wait months for an overpriced, feature cut 70d.

Oh, one more...

Wow. I'm a canon guy but is is just getting ridiculous.

While canon looks to protect product deferent action by untying basic features, Nikon is giving users what they want in a cam body.

Bravo.

it finally happened...(runs to conclusion page, then work my way backwards)

I just noticed that the camera has android 2.3. If there was one reason not to invest in this product that was it right there. Downright shameful & embarrassing.

What a POS product.

Someone mentioned a good question, and one that ive been wondering as well- why doesn't dp reivew buy equipment to test? Ive seen mentions of you guys have to wait for samples...

...while many...

Nikon coolpix series...ive never read a good review of any of them over the years, so never bothered to take them seriously. they have always lost out to canon compacts, to my knowledge.

DP staff,...

REAL responsibility?

You should explain that one..doesnt really make sense.

only partially true. 7d is just no good in shadows and darks. Noisy as sin across the board. There's enough evidence/experiences out there to disprove the deniers. 7d has plenty of low iso noise,...

XSI= great cam.Mine went to the shop twice for Af issues a few years back, and has been rock solid- and sharp as all hell- ever since. The 60d/7d can only dream to be as sharp as the little...

As a former 7d and xsi user, the 550d focus is good with ALL points. Utterly reliable in every aspect, and a very mature AF system. My 550 replaced my derelict 7d, and the image quality is simply...

one of the most incorrect statements I've ever seen on dpreview.Either you don't own this camera are in serious denial. at least give the OP correct info.

oh you just wait, it's the lens that just keep on giving. It's just an awesome piece of craftsmanship and optics. I've had mine for a year and it's da bomb. After renting once, it was just a must...
