Great value for money I have had mine for over 5 years and i will not part with it. I recently purchased the Canon 6D as I want a beast for low light.. The 550D accompanied with the right lenses will give great low light photos but I just wanted more as I progressed into photography and now I shoot weddings so the Canon 6D will be my go to camera for weddings but I know I can trust my 550D as a solid backup should anything go wrong .. I purchased my 550D Brand new from Harvey Norman for $990 with a kit lens but have since replaced my kit lenses except the 55mm f3.5 as it still gives sharp photos - The 550D is dependable reliable and not bulky to carry but as previously stated I now have 7 lenses and I will not give up my 550D camera ever ..

I bought this when B&H Photo had a firesale in the USA. Cheap as chips and offered really good image quality for the size. AF is average, but as a pro videographer I used manual all the time anyway. A great second cam or holiday cam.
