Conclusion
|
The Canon EOS 550D is a real success: the photos are good, electronic noise is well-handled and the video mode won us over (apart from when focusing). Canon didn't have to go for 18 Megapixels--but it's used them very wisely. |
The Canon EOS 600D is a logical, if not strictly necessary, update of the 550D. It's not a camera that'll go down in history but it's a decent SLR that takes good pictures and has plenty of settings. |
