  • Meet the very latest Canon EOS 550D Digital SLR camera
     
  • The EOS 550D has been sent to us as the 'sister model' for Canon's previous release: the 500D, which we've had such a great time promoting in the Auction room and selling to loads of very lucky bidders.
     
  • This model isn't going to disappoint either, especially as it comes with a shedload of features - including a fair few new ones - that are bound to please....
     
    • A whopping 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor.
       
    • 3.7 frames per second and speedier response times so you'll never miss the moment. 
       
    • 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with Live View mode.
       
    • Full HD (1080p) movies  - and there's an HDMI connection to allow for HD playback of foot on any HDTV.
       
    • High ISO range up to 6400 for low light conditions when you don't want to use a flash 
       
    • Live View shooting - a first on one of Canon's consumer models. 
       
    • iFCL metering system - a new 63-zone dual layer metering sensor which analyses your subject for focus, colour and luminance information to provide an accurate meter reading so your pictures are... well, picture perfect.
       
    • Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System - to keep the dust out 
       
    • A high-precision 9-point wide-area Auto Focus system 
       
    • 13 different functions to customise the way you shoot  
       
    • DIGIC 4 image processor - technology usually the preserve of the professional level range that delivers smooth gradations and natural look colours.
