Pros: Value for money

Cons: Nothing if you know what you are buying

Opinion: I took it a couple of years ago to introduce my son to photography. For me, the best value for money for used Canon aps-c for those who want to start with less than 200 euros. To have a sensor that is a minimum better you have to spend about twice as much and switch to the 750D. It has everything you need, it is compact and lightweight. Simple to use. To be coupled with the Tamron 17-50mm or EF50mm STM / EF40mm STM / EF-S 24mm STM zoom if you prefer fixed (always with a view to low cost a lot of yield).

Pros: All if you know what you buy.

Cons: No one if you know what you buy.

Opinion: Purchased used for a hundred euros after the drowning of the 4000d, the feeling it gave me was immediately of reliability and robustness. It has a respectable dynamic range for an amateur photographer, and the availability of the pieces, in my opinion, make it go up a level. It immediately gives very beautiful and detailed photos, obviously at high ISO it suffers a lot of noise, but with due care and a little post production, you can really get wonderful results. Magic lantern runs wonderfully and helps a lot in some conditions. If it had the posable display, it would have been the perfect camera.

Pros: 7d sensor, dynamic / detail range, color rendering, value for money, light, excellent jpg

Cons: Slightly plasticy

Opinion: The 550d is an advanced amateur camera, clearly superior to the entry level 1000 series including 1200 and 1300 (which derive precisely from the 550) made in Taiwan, the 550 came out 3 years earlier, already mounts the DIGIC 4, has pro functions such as mirror lock up and is made in japan as the 'most series' machines, already from this it is clear which lens Canon intended to approach ... The body is solid, well assembled while maintaining a perceived more plasticous than the upper series (60d / 70d etc ..) combined with the 18-55 IS you immediately get beautiful photos, sharp, with bright colors in typical canon style well balanced and detailed, ISO hold up to 1600 excellent. An excellent machine to start but also for the amateur photographer who wants a second light body for street or otherwise convenient to carry around at a price used today really super, vote 9

Pros: Magic Lantern that runs very well above, colors, robustness even if it is not tropicalized, perfect size and low weight to carry it everywhere, very manageable noise with magic lantern and using multiples of 80.

Cons: For me, nobody.

Opinion: It may seem strange, but since I installed magic lantern on my 550d, my love for my SLR has increased a lot. Try to believe: test the 550d using the multiples of 80, then from 160 ISO upwards and you will notice that the situations of serious noise will be reduced to a minimum. Maybe it's a risky phrase but I did a test of daily photos with a 5d mark II and a 550d, using the same lens and same settings and 2 professional photographers friends, they could not recognize the origin of the two photos. This SLR is exceptional. Needless to talk about 600d 650d 700d 750d ... because in reality after 2010-11 there were very few changes to entry level level, semi pro. There were only minor news that are almost never used, such as NFC, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc. So I recommend it to all those who want to start and to those who want a valid second body. Install magic lantern immediately to take advantage of the infinite settings added and taken taken. In conclusion I wanted to say that, tested with an objective of the L series, qhis reflex makes it really breathless ... so my advice is: take it at prices now torn and with the money saved invest in a high quality lens and a battery grip. And it will be just pure fun!

Pros: Ease of use, speed, weight, quality / price ratio

Cons: Autofocus, high ISO seal

Opinion: It seems a review copy of the other, well, in part it is. rnMa the vote that I gave is 9, because when I passed by this machine current, a bit 'to tear it scesa.rnE' easy to use and great to gain experience taking out some beautiful pictures. They feel very much in the dark limits (up to 800 ok, besides suffering), but for what it costs used with any lens, I would say that more can not pretendere.rnLa speed with which the carousel with the parameters after having taken hand is really nice.
