Just released today and I can’t wait to check it out.  “The EOS 550D redefines the boundaries of Canon’s consumer DSLR range, incorporating technologies and features more commonly found in semi-professional DSLRs into the compact, lightweight body favoured by consumers.”

I am in the process of publishing a comparison of some of the 2009 Canon, Nikon, Olympus and other models, with up to date prices as well as giving you the specific features and individual highlights of each camera.  Having said that the news of new cameras being released will (and has) drastically changed the cost of consumer level cameras.  Today at  London Drugs (Broadway at Cambie) the Canon EOS 40D is on sale for $699.98!  And the Canon EOS 50D for a low price as well.  So if you are price hunting keep your EYES OPEN for some great deals and if you are looking for the newest changes in the newest Canon DSLR consumer cameras then start here —-> The Canon EOS T2i/550D .
