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

I've had my 550D for just over a week now, I like it very much, produces good quality pictures with the kit lens, and the video is very good for a stills camera.

Possible a little pricey over here in the UK (is'nt everything!) lens kit appears better than I thought it would be. I've since added the EF-S 55mm-250mm IS lens due to it's low price, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it also performed than I expected, so a good experience so far. I returned a new Nikon D5000 which developed a fault and decided to pay the extra for this later Canon 550D model, so far I have no regrets.
Dont waste your money buying the optional viewfinder extender, I found it quite poor.

Problems:

None.
