18 megapixels in an APS-C sensor, that is insane. I am already getting noisy high ISO from the 50D which has 15 MP.

Yes, all cameras in the Rebel line (EOS XX0D) are APS-C

Looks like it is going to be an interesting year ahead for the camera brands.

Yes, but when was the last time you needed more than 10MP?

Ths 550 is the smaller version of the 7D. Wink

That's what I usually say, Orio. But today I have shot with a good friend's 7D and I was abolutely amazed by it. Excellent handling, great built and fantastic images. Even at ISO1000 really low noise!

BTW, the 15-85 IS is an amazing lens. The best EF-S lens I have aver used!
Much, I mean, MUCH better than the EF-S 17-85 IS. Even way better than the Sigma 17-70. I have never seen any APS-sensor-lens that performes better than this new Canon, I have to admit.

Three years from 400D -> 450D -> 500D -> 550D?? That's too much.

Apparently is has much better noise control than the 50d and 500d

I'm really interested but I don't think it has the micro AF adjust like the more expensive models, I would love this feature, you can tune the AF to each different lens you own to eliminate back and front focus.

If it had the AF adjust I would give it very serious consideration as a replacement to my 350D but I just cannot afford to go higher up in the range!

The size of the sensor remains the same but the software [algorithm] is getting better and better, so it may be possible to get better high iso results using better analysis.

Indeed sometimes you can increase pixel density and still get better high iso results through better sensor design and software processing.

The 14mp Canon G10 has less noise at iso 400 than my old G3 has at iso 200 and the G3 only has 4mp!
