Canon EOS 550D (EOS Rebel T2i / Kiss X4) review

I upgraded from the 450D which was not a bad camera at
all but I wanted best image quality for the most modest
price and that's what I got. Especially the 100 ISO in
combination with the 100mm macro it makes people go
"wow".

Problems:

Actually none, although I have one wish.

Save for social point and shoot events I always use
RAW, however if you have to select the best of a
series of 10-20 of butterflies, that's aggravating,
comparing all the RAW's takes a very long time and
using the L's in the L+RAW doesn't help much either,
it saves some time for the selection but takes more
time to upload and it takes a lot more memory. I crave
for the non existing setting S (small)S + RAW, so I
could select the best frame with the S-pic before
processing with DPP.

What would it take to induce Canon to make the RAW
mode available together with all other image settings
(L, M, S) to fit all possible requirements for everybody?
