buying a 7d with a mediocre lens over a 550d with a good lense is retarded.
no difference in picture quality, your baciasally paying close to twice the price for a slighlty larger viewfinder, and double the shooting speed.
I got the 550d, and i usually use a 50mm 1.8 prime as standard.
put a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L on a 7d and u got a slighlty less sharp image, equal image quality for close to 4 times the price.
Buy 550d with a 50mm 1.8 and you got a camera with the proffesional picture quality, and ultra low weight(this matters alot too, heavy equipment stayes home) . forget about the zoom, and learn to move and focus manually.

This DSLR allowed you to have your video image crystal clear in the front, and had your background blurred to create depth of field. The difference is remarkable and is comparable to watching daytime soap opera or watching a feature length movie.

I hate the T2i. Anyone thinking about the T2i should be aware of the busy flash issue. After taking multiple pictures in a row using built-in flash, the camera will show a busy message and take up to 10 seconds before you are able to take another picture. Never had this problem with my Rebel XT. Here’s direct quote from Canon support:

The busy message occurs when the flash has discharged and requires time to charge. This amount of time will increase when the battery becomes depleted. Recharging the battery will reduce the amount of time required, between photographs. I do not believe the issue you’re experiencing is a malfunction, as it is noted in the users manual on page 70.

Hi everyone, can you tell me please what is the difference between 550D and 7D for shooting video? About the image quality is the 7D superior than 550D?
thanks

I think any DSLR camera with a dedicated macro lens, and good light source (flash with a diffuser) will be a good set up for this type of photography.

Or if portability is needed, a Canon G12 or S95 will suffice

Hi, what would the best camera be for taking macro images. I am trying to take images of diamond rings and wondering what the best would be.

I think you should seriously consider the Nikon D7000 That is, if you haven’t invested in a Canon system.

On another note, I would want to suggest either a Pentax K-r or a Pentax K-5 but that would involve some element of bias on my part because I am a Pentax shooter and right now, I wouldn’t want anything else other than a K-5, and of course, a complete set of the Pentax Limited lenses!

I honestly haven’t tried looking in at the specs of the 7D until I read this post. I am planning to buy a camera next week, something like an entry level dslr just like the 550D but still I haven’t decide which one to get between 550D and nikon d5000. Any suggestion?
