Here are a few observations from using Canon EOS Rebel T2i for the past 2 days:
* RAW files from this camera not supported in OS X yet
* MOV files created will test your computers speed
* MOV files in 1080p will eat up ~330MB/min and use ~15mbit/s bitrate
* Good starter lens, but I can already tell I’ll want something to supplement it
* Great fit and finish
* Very light

Wouldn’t the 18Mp, 3.7fps, Full HD and small-form-factor b killing 5D MkII…. slowly?

Think many who wanted and find 5D MkII to $high$ to b reached will b very happy with 550D. Maybe I should try this one.

whichever one you choose, learn the equipment and learn it well; know its limitations and you’ll be set using anything :)

almost everything but:
AF, 100% VF, 8 fps, built in flash master, sealing, ergonomics of the 7D, dual processor and mega pixel (probably more than 18mp XD)

What I think NHUSA meant was that some of the 550D Beta sample pics had ISO values that were not in full-stop increments. This has been explained: when Auto ISO is enabled the camera can select from 1/3-stop ISO values, but manually selected ISO values are still only at full-stop increments, just like in previous Rebels with Auto ISO. At least now the Auto ISO function on the new 550D would be more flexible with this ability to select 1/3-stop ISO values. It’s just strange that Canon has once again disabled it from manual selection in the name of “product differentiation”, as our goof friend Chuck W. would say… :P

As many have pointed out already, here are the advantages the 7D has over the 550D:

-Different sensor according to dpreview
-AF system second only to the 1D IV
-8fps shooting
-100% viewfinder coverage
-Info LCD on the top of the camera
-Clear view II LCD (Glass)
-Digital level
-Built in Speedlite master
-Better sealing
-Better ergonomics
-Dual DIGIC IV. Logically this should translate to better noise reduction. But we will see.

While I agree that people who just want to shoot 1080p 24fps video can just opt for the 550D, I hardly see it as comparable to the 7D.

Now the million dollar question is, which of the features above will Canon put in the 60D to differentiate the product lines?

Your post is as asinine as the similar one you made in the other thread. Troll.

Yep. Inhabitants of 400D-land dream of usable 1600 let alone 6400.

1250 is 2/3rds of a stop past 800 (and 1/3rd of a stop below 1600). OTOH, the values between full stops are interpolated. So, yes, the camera has those increments but, no, I never use them. YMMV.
