Excellent review, exactly what I was looking for :) I am going to be using this to record my youtube video's as well as get stuck into photography and it seems to tick all the boxes :)
How do you compare this with the nikon d3100? Which one would be better for a first DSLR camera for me. All i need it for is beginner photography and some video.
I'm stuck between this camera and the nikon d3100. Do you think there is much difference between them? If so which one is better? I am new to DSLR's and just want to start out with my first camera. Thanks.
Thank u very much. U speak very clearly and i understand u (im Bulgarian 14 years old and not perfect at english but u make it to understand u easy) u give really important information for this camera to me and im going to buy it. I was think there's no camera which have - 5x or 10x at capture mode to see is all perfect focused. It's really good idea from Canon. But i see it have really much options and im thinking this will be hard for me to understand all from them... I never had DSLR.. Thx!!!
@atisas2 Thankyou, I'm pleased yo fouhnd it useful. PS - I have been on holiday to Bulgaria and had a great time! A very beautiful and friendly country.
@StraightEdgeVideos the body refers to only the camera without lens. If you buy only the camera body you will have to choose and buy your own lens to start using the camera
hey man i just bought this slr digital camera today and when i record videos on my cam it sows the picture is fin but when i transfeer to pc the quality is bad
Hey, can someone help me. I want to buy a 550D and I find two versions on the same site, one called Canon EOS550D + EF-S 18-55IS (I understand it comes with lenses) and the other called Canon EOS550D Body . Can someone please tell me what means that "body" ? Thank you.

If I was going to mount this camera on a tripod with a great view of an interstate, and take a 30 minute shutter, what would be good ISO and Aperature settings?
@TylerVanderkooy Use the lowest ISO and really close down the aperture, maybe like f22. A 30 minute exposure is very long and will let in a LOT of light, You may need to try some shorter exposures first, like 5 minutes, or even 1 minute until you get a feel of the correct exposure.
Gordon I've been watching your reviews and following them on your website for a few years by now. Now doubt that your reviews are simply the best (full, integrated, consistent approach, etc.)
I noticed on Amazon and Ebay (when checking the 1 star reviews) that failure rate of Nikon products seems to be higher (I was looking at the D5100 and D5000 and even the higher quality semi-pro D90).Do you have any idea or previous experience about this? Do you think Canon's failure rate is lower?
@VideoDocR I'm talking here about a point that is never covered by any review. Either because reviewers try not to be prejudice about a certain brand, or because they fail to cover hidden points like that.
@VideoDocR It's an interesting observation, but I'm certainly not hiding anything myself! I haven't noticed one brand being particularly more prone to failure or returns than another. You'll hear more complaints about the bigger brands in any category though as they simple sell more units. Most reviewers look at a product at the start of its life, so the best people to comment are the stores which handle the returns.
Just last Saturday, I purchased the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, my first DSLR camera and must say that I was very impressed with the features after trying it out. The photos were very detailed and clear, which was what I was looking for a camera that takes crisp clear photos. I enjoy watching this review and I am glad that I purchased this camera for it is above my expectations. Thanks for sharing.
great review, I was wondering your opinion, I can get the 550D with the 18-55mm for the same price as the 600D with the 50mm f1.8 for the same price. Which do you think is the better option for someone new photography?
@HappyDude224 The 50mm f1.8 becomes a short telephoto lens on the 600D / 550D, so while it's great for portraits, it's too long for general-purpose shots. As such I wouldn't recommend it as your only lens. So if those are your only two choices, get the 550D with the 18-55, then buy the 50mm later if you get into portraits or low light work.
Excellent review - have just gone and bought one of these. My first DSLR since the Canon 300D... way back. Not been into photography over the last few years and just getting back into it so hoping this model is going to meet my expectations and get me back into aviation photography. Thanks again for a very informative review, certainly helped with my decison making.
That was a serious review! I went to the full review at cameralabs & was amazed. I bought a T2i back in Oct and was just looking at reviews to see what people where saying. Its my 1st DSLR and I enjoy it. Your review is awesome! I learned about the pros & cons. I have been taking DSLR youtube tutorials for about 2 weeks and now have a better understanding of what makes a good camera good compared to my entry T2i. I love the review and I think the T2i is a great beginner DSLR.
@cameralabs I went thru all the tutorials on the dslrtips website as you suggested and they were great! The plus side for me was you used a canon thru all them :) You explain things very well and as a beginner in DSLRs, I can only say THANK YOU! I watched everyone of them and you really know how to cater to your audience. I will refer to the tutorials again & again as needed the and refer people to them. You Rock!
What would be a good substitute for this cam.?? I'm looking for something with about same quality but maybe a lil less in price. 100-200 dollars cheaper......also are there any camcorders with similar hd quality as the 550d??
@Borderlands808 im no expert but the nikon d3100 is often compared to the 550d, and is about $100 cheaper. from what ive heard the 550d is worth the extra money if you want to shoot videos, but the image quality is very similar.
You are seriously the best camera reviewer on the net. You're very fair, you cover everything important and above all your reviews are easy to understand someone relatively new to photography like myself. Thank-you!
Could someone please help me with changing the self-timer value on the 550D? In single shot mode, the default setting is 2 seconds for the self-timer. This seems very short, but I can't find an appropriate tab in the Menu to change this value to a longer setting. Is there any way of changing this or will I have to get a digital remote shutter to customize how long the self-timer is? Any help much appreciated, cheers.
@lukeyblunt This is to change how things look through the viewfinder for people who wear prescription glasses, to accommodate for the fact that the image has to go through your glasses as well. It would be confusing if images were perfectly focussed onto your digital sensor and you were getting good, sharp pictures, but you kept seeing a blurry image when looking through the viewfinder because of your glasses. The +/- dial adjusts for this.
@awsomepossum1340 Sadly not, the viewfinder on a DSLR requires the mirror to be down - and when filming video, the mirror is up. If you want to film video with a viewfinder, you'll need a mirrorless ILC like a Sony NEX or Micro Four Thirds.
um i kinda decided to touch one of ur features and now i don't know what i did but now there are 2 grey bars on the top and bottom and i want them gone
I have the canon eos 550D and I have 3 questions, first is it the same as canon eos 550D t2i like is there one with t2i and one just 550d? 2: Is there a timer option & if so, how do i set it up? 3: is there auto focus on it? I would really appreciate if you could answer this. thanks.
Hi Everyone. If someone could kindly help me? I'm an amateur photographer. I use a semi DSLR for my pictures. I was thinking of buying a 550D for my very first DSLR. Is there a better choice than this? I know all the main controls of a basic dslr. I just don't own one. Is the 550D a good choice? Thanks! ♥
i am thinking of buying this or the eos 1100d. which do you suggest gordon? it will be my first dslr and i am really an uber amateur. please help me decide.
I have a Canon Vixia HF R21 that I use to make short films and someone recommended that I get the T2i. Can you tell me why it's better? My Vixia looks pretty good for daytime shots outside but if it's dark out, the picture gets a lot more grainy. Does the t2i have better night quality?
@BobbyDigital1980 DSLRs have the potentiual for lower noise in low light thanks to their much bigger sensors, BUT most won't autofocus while filming and you'll only see a real benefit in noise if the DSLR lens has a similar f-number to your camcorder. If you use the DSLR kit lens, it will have a bigger f-number than a camcorder and therefore gather much less light, so much of the big sensor benefit is lost compensating for the dim lens.
Hello. I am looking for a camera that can record good video and also decent high speed video. I am going to be recording bowling and want to be able to see a good view of the release of the ball. Any suggestions on a camera? I have been looking at the Exilim Zr100.
@cameralabs Hi Gordon I was thinking about getting the 550 for some surf Photography and Motocross Photography, and In this video you suggest another camera if using it for those types of photography. What camera would you recommend , in a similar price range that can still do 1080 video whilst giving a faster rate of fire? Cheers Jon
Gordon, you are the God of camera reviews. After watching your videos I'm actually hoping for more cameras to come out, simply so you can make reviews of them. Truly, you have made purchasing my first DSLR an easy task. Thank you.
@MrRapala91 I do have one other question. Is there any other camera the same or about the same but a little cheaper? Me and my friend wanted to make a short movie, so need high quality cameras. But want to see if there is a cheaper camear before we splurge. I'm cheap i know =P Thanks
@joaquinfelipe100 Thanks, that makes me feel really good. I think you're under the mistaken impression there's more than one guy to choose from. I'm a one-man operation here, so it's not like there's anyone else in the office to do it. I suggest closing your eyes when I come on!
@cameralabs Don't worry Gordon the rest of us would rather hear from someone who knows what they're talking about than an actor reading from a script. Keep up the good work. :-)
@ksearles85 Cheers! It's annoying for me as it's human nature to rise-to and respond to negative comments rather than ignoring them and spending your time trying to help with other questions... then again, maybe it's not negative. Perhaps it is constructive and I am too scary for youtube!
@joaquinfelipe100 What? Gordon, you are awesome! Keep up these stellar reviews. Many of us rely on your attention to detail to make informed decisions. Your approach is far more professional and attractive than the offensively casual reviews done by some of the "professional" review outfits.
Great review. Had already bought the camera as a spur of the moment buy, it was a choice of a camcorder & a digi cam and was steered toward this as a good compromise. As it has the edge on movies probably good advice from the seller.
Hello buy a canon eos 550D but me aparese an err 80 that probability problem that if the change another equally I happen again the same or the change by sony to nex 5N
wanting to start up Photography. im wanting something thats not too big, not too small, and will hold small enough lenses so i dont have to carry around a huge lens everywhere i go. basically wanting to do some landscape shots/family photo's. will this camera be okay or would anyone else recommend one? thanks x
@TallGirlSarah01 If you want something smaller but with the same quality, try the Panasonic G3 or Sony NEX C3 or NEX 5N. See the best buys section at cameralabs . com!
hi, i am more of a sports photographer, not professional or anything, but i take pictures of horses in motions over jumps, and im looking to ugrade, wondering if this camera would be suitable for that? im like how it is 18megapixel, my one is currently 12, but has it got continues pictures? and the zoom i believe is only 3X? can i buy a better zooming lense for it? i didn't have time to watch the video, but will be back!

@dadiyoki if you're a beginner, get the 1100D or the Nikon D100, or the Panasonic G3

I have a Canon Vixia HF R21 that I use to make short films and someone recommended that I get the T2i. Can you tell me why it's better? My Vixia looks pretty good for daytime shots outside but if it's dark out, the picture gets a lot more grainy. Does the t2i have better night quality?
BobbyDigital1980 2 months ago
@BobbyDigital1980 DSLRs have the potentiual for lower noise in low light thanks to their much bigger sensors, BUT most won't autofocus while filming and you'll only see a real benefit in noise if the DSLR lens has a similar f-number to your camcorder. If you use the DSLR kit lens, it will have a bigger f-number than a camcorder and therefore gather much less light, so much of the big sensor benefit is lost compensating for the dim lens.

Hello. I am looking for a camera that can record good video and also decent high speed video. I am going to be recording bowling and want to be able to see a good view of the release of the ball. Any suggestions on a camera? I have been looking at the Exilim Zr100.

@cameralabs Hi Gordon I was thinking about getting the 550 for some surf Photography and Motocross Photography, and In this video you suggest another camera if using it for those types of photography. What camera would you recommend , in a similar price range that can still do 1080 video whilst giving a faster rate of fire? Cheers Jon

one thing that this camera also does better than Nikon D5000/D3100 is processing a long exposure shot. It's much much faster.

@MrRapala91 I do have one other question. Is there any other camera the same or about the same but a little cheaper? Me and my friend wanted to make a short movie, so need high quality cameras. But want to see if there is a cheaper camear before we splurge. I'm cheap i know =P Thanks

@joaquinfelipe100 Thanks, that makes me feel really good. I think you're under the mistaken impression there's more than one guy to choose from. I'm a one-man operation here, so it's not like there's anyone else in the office to do it. I suggest closing your eyes when I come on!

@cameralabs Don't worry Gordon the rest of us would rather hear from someone who knows what they're talking about than an actor reading from a script. Keep up the good work. :-)

@ksearles85 Cheers! It's annoying for me as it's human nature to rise-to and respond to negative comments rather than ignoring them and spending your time trying to help with other questions... then again, maybe it's not negative. Perhaps it is constructive and I am too scary for youtube!

@joaquinfelipe100 What? Gordon, you are awesome! Keep up these stellar reviews. Many of us rely on your attention to detail to make informed decisions. Your approach is far more professional and attractive than the offensively casual reviews done by some of the "professional" review outfits.

Great review. Had already bought the camera as a spur of the moment buy, it was a choice of a camcorder & a digi cam and was steered toward this as a good compromise. As it has the edge on movies probably good advice from the seller.
