Any thought on the EOS 550d? Are there better DSLR's for the same price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know what it has over the 550d but I thought if I sell in a few years the newer model might be worth $50 more. Problem is it's addictive, I'm getting a macro lens and really want a bird lens, but that would mean selling a kidney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pic was 1/200 f4 and iso 800 = tiny DOF = 5% keeper rateEnded up getting the cheap ebay speedlite to work with the camera so now I'll make a snoot for it. Hoping for 1/200 f10 and iso 400 with the same keeper rate + clearer pics and more dof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
