Fantastic image quality

The editors didn't like
JPEGs are soft at default settings
Good lenses needed for best results
Redeye a problem
No way to remove it in playback mode
Small right hand grip not for everyone
LCD outdoor visibility could be better
Sluggish contrast detect autofocus in live view
Continuous shooting mode could be better
Very basic playback mode
Wireless flash control would've been nice
Relatively slow burst mode
Video controls could be easier to use
Some detail loss in very dark or bright conditions
Auto Lighting Optimizer's effect is subtle to the point of being unnoticeable
No rear control dial (as found on higher-end Canon bodies)
Entry-level ergonomics won't suit everyone (the EOS 50D and 7D just feel nicer)
No in-camera raw conversion option
Slightly soft JPEG output at default settings (but this is far from unusual)
Chroma noise takes a fairly big chunk out of resolution at ISO 12
Main dial has too much resistance
Is uncomfortable in use
No rear control dial
Evaluative metering tends to blow highlights
Often requires 1/3 to 2/3EV of negative exposure compensation
No dedicated AF-assist lamp (flash is used)
And AF-assist ad...
Relatively expensive for entry level camera kit
Light plastic feel is a turn off for some photographers
Autofocus doesn't work in Movie mode
Video recording is not as intuitive as with a dedicated camcorder. Frames-per-second capture is slower than the competition.
Smaller form size
Almost too light
Plasticy.
Lack of quick control wheel (you have to get Canon's 7D or a higher model to have one). Bothersome autofocus assist flash. Build quality not as robust as feature set.
AF Assist lamp not on body
Kit lens is weak
Problematic videos
Annoying viewfinder
Irritating control layout for video capture
Modest 3.7fps shooting and small RAW buffer
Screen fixed in position
Unlike several rivals
Average 9-point AF system and viewfinder
Compelling rivals if you don't care for 1080p movies.

Bonne gestion du bruit électronique jusqu'à 3200 ISO, Mode vidéo HDTV 1080 et 720, Ecran LCD de qualité, Excellente autonomie, Ergonomie et menu
Autofocus parfois hésitant en basse lumière, Écran non rotatif, Viseur optique un peu étroit, Poignée un peu petite, Pas de lampe d'assistance pour l'autofocus
Le Canon EOS 550D est une vraie réussite : les images sont de qualité, le bruit bien géré et le mode vidéo convaincant (hors mise au point). Si les 18 Mpix n'étaient pas obligatoires, ils sont bien gérés par Canon....
En jouant la surenchère de pixels (18 Mpix, vidéo HDTV 1080) Canon prenait un pari risqué, mais qui s'avère payant : non seulement le 550D n'est pas pénalisé par ce surcroît de pixels, mais, en plus, la marque prend une sérieuse longueur d'avance sur l...
Abstract: EOS 550D occupa l'estremità più lussuosa del segmento entry-level di Canon, un gradino sotto la 50D per fattura del corpo macchina e velocità di esecuzione. Ma se guardiamo la dotazione e la ricchezza delle funzioni è difficile pensare di avere in mano un...
sehr gute Bildqualität, hohe ISOEmpfindlichkeit, gute HD Videoaufnahme, gutes Display
RAWGröße nicht veränderbar, Probleme bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen, kein Autofokus im Video Modus
Bei guten Lichtverhältnissen hält die Canon EOS 550D was sie verspricht, hochauflösende Fotos, die an ein professionelles Gerät erinnern. Dennoch ist ein Abstand zu besseren Kameras sichtbar. Die eingebaute Videofunktion kann einen Camcorder nicht ers...
Die EOS 550D reizt definitiv nicht aus. Dafür ist sie etwas zu unscharf, was allerdings auch für alle anderen bisher von uns getesteten DSLRs (incl. Sonys neuer NEX-VG10) gilt. Dass sie dennoch tolle Videos macht, liegt unter anderem auch daran, dass ...
