    Canon today announced the latest model in its consumer DSLR series, the EOS 550D.

    Main features:

    • DIGIC 4 processor with ISO 100-6400 (Expansion to 12800)

    Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

    Why use a sledge hammer to crack a nut, when a steam roller will do an even better job, AND, is fun to drive.

    A bit too steep for me at the moment.

    Nigel,

    It will come down. The photography stores always offer new cameras at the full RRP for pre-orders. Some people just have to have the latest and greatest as soon as it is out. The previous model, the 500D, started around the same level and now sells around £500-600.

    I can afford to wait until I can afford it. It would actually be for Eileen as she takes good photos where I just take snaps.
