Just wondering if you have seen much of an improvement, enough to upgrade from the 450d

thanks

I think the main thing is video capability...

I would upgrade to 50D,7D or 5D mkII...

I didn't even know the 550D had been released..........noticed it has an 18MP sensor.....does this make the IQ a lot better than a 40D with it's 10MP?

probably worse, because all those extra pixels packed onto the sensor.

Its out , and there is one on its way to me as i type.

I had a 400d before so will give a comparison when i have time to play.

I think the main thing that swayed it for me is the chance to be creative with motion pictures as well.

I think WHE have had it in stock for about a week... I'm toying with getting one as I fancy having a play with video but don't want to spend out on a 7D.
