Can you confirm that there is internal memory on the Canon EOS 550D please?

How do I get to it please as I have always removed the memory card and used just that data?

I cannot see a plyback of any images when the card is abscent?

Sorry for the false hope - just had a play with mine and although it'll take a picture without the card in (and flashes up a message across the screen saying no card in camera ) the pictures do not appear to be saved anywhere. If they're temporarily held in the internal buffer memory then the rest of the days shooting will have overwritten it.

I've just snapped off a few frames then hooked it up to the computer - Windows Explorer found no images (nor anything else) on the camera.
