Your first impression of Canon

Personally, I feel that the price/performance ratio is pretty good. Reasons:

The Canon 550D performs on the same level as the 7D in all major performance configurations, which makes us compare this Canon 550D with the best An entry-level DSLR hook.

The release of Canon 550D, and the fact that 550D will use certain original components with 7D, are all expected. However, as an entry-level SLR that is two levels lower than the 7D, the Canon 550D has shrunk in many aspects of performance compared to the 7D, but it also brings us many fresh features, such as new specifications of LCD, 7D Double digital zoom

video cropping function, etc. Judging from the parameters alone, the Canon 550D should be able to claim the title of "the most powerful entry-level SLR".

While testing the Canon 550D, I participated in an outdoor shooting event organized by the PConline Photography Forum and Photography Tribe. Of course, I used the 550D to shoot throughout the entire process

. After half a day, the biggest impression I have on the 550D is that the metering is very accurate, and the evaluative metering can handle most scenes; the details of the picture are very good, but the shooting success rate is not very high, and in many scenes There is no problem with aperture, shutter, or ISO, but the picture is blurry (detailed explanation below); the new LCD picture

is stunningly beautiful; the built-in flash works surprisingly well.< /p>

But it is one thing to have the strongest performance, and it is another thing to have a high price when it is first launched. It is true that the price of the 550D, which has just been launched for a few days, is a bit pricey

Whether consumers will readily pay for the powerful performance of the 550D (compared to the entry-level SLR level) depends on the market. reaction. My point of view is that if you buy early and enjoy it early, you will miss the opportunity to take photos. I believe no amount of money can make up for it.

The performance of the Canon 550D is on par with the 7D in all major performance configurations, which makes us link this Canon 550D with the best entry-level SLR.

First of all, it uses the same 18-megapixel APS-C sensor as the 7D; secondly, in terms of light metering, the 550D also adds a 63-area double-layer metering sensor that is on par with the 7D

< p>; Third, the highest sensitivity can be extended to ISO12800, which is very practical in today's high-sensitivity era.

This machine makes up for the shortcomings of the 500D in 1080 high-definition photography, achieving 1080 high-definition video at a maximum of about 25 frames/second in PAL format and about 30 frames/second in NTSC format

Shooting, incredibly powerful. Moreover, Canon has applied a 3:2 LCD screen to a SLR for the first time, with 1.04 million pixels and a very pleasing 3-inch size.

In short, Canon 550D The emergence of Canon has further maintained the advantages of Canon's entry-level SLR and may even expand it. For this entry-level SLR, the improvement in configuration is very gratifying, and it has basically reached the luxury of an entry-level SLR. Configuration puts great pressure on competitors. In terms of body shooting performance

, the 550D also borrows a lot of 7D technology. Although the core aspect is somewhat smaller than that of the 7D, this is also determined by their different positioning. This

This gives the 550D a powerful performance guarantee.
