A new lens or camera?

Re: A new lens or camera?

I went from a 600D (which is basically your camera, but with a fold out screen) to a 77D over the summer. I did notice a big difference in IQ, but that was mainly down to the lens (18-135 nano vs 18-55 IS 2 on the 600D). The main improvements on the camera come from the usability, making it easier to get the shots I want.

But if you don't feel your 550D is limiting you, I would just get more lenses.  From what I have seen on this forum, it is generally newer bodies which have problems working with older lenses, rather than the other way round.
