Canon - Quality and safety
1

I sold my Canon 350D and I wanted a camera to help me in my passion, the astrophotography. because the price of the 550D was too big for me, I bought a Pentax Kr. The front focus problem and the inconsistency of the AF system made me to send it back and to ask my money back. Adding some extra money, I choose the Canon 550D. The camera is far better than the Kr. It is a real photo camera not a toy like the Pentax's Kr.
The AF system is accurate and rapid, the low light capabilities are amazing. Good sensor, good high ISOs. Extraordinary video modes, especially (for me) the crop movie mode, which allows me to capture very usefull astro videoclips.

Problems:

No. All is where it must be.
