550D start sell next week

[agoodfella]

I’m not sure… I don’t think $1.7 is the price. I’ll say DD is charging higher because its the its an imported set, and currently overseas prices are high.

Wait for IT show then see?

That's good advice. I guess I'll be patient and wait until the official retail price comes out.

I hope that they offer some good packages (like the battery + case + dry box + SD card, etc.) they are offering currently with the 500D.

But really.... if it cost S$1700++ for 550D, then Canon has overprice it..... :dunno:

RRP S$1700++ okie, so long street price is ard S$1300 to S$1500 with kit lens.... if lower then D90 street price, even better.....

Then we will see how the 2 fight it out... :lovegrin:.... and it is only good for consumer.... this is really so call competition..... unlike the kns Sing and Tel vs Star and Hug..... pushing the price even higher..... :nono:

Dont think so bah..... but you may be right..... gotto wait and see.... :dunno:

 

[auden09]

I hope the 550D is a replacement for the ID4 and 1Ds4. Ideally the street price would be $300-400 and comes with a 70-200 2.8L IS II kit lens.

If the retail package (SD card, bag, xtra battery, dry box, tripod, cleaning kit, screen protector) = $1,500

then I'm def. buying it.

--> if it's $1,700 for just the body + standard lens, forget it, I'm getting the 500D

i think if you want the more advanced video feature, get the 550d.
otherwise, for photography only, 500d is more than enough while considering the price difference..

I don't think so. 550d is targeting at general consumer while 50d is for more advance user. but my feeling is xxd series maybe stop for a while in order not to mess 7d market. depend on your own need. I don't use video function and I often shoot sports or concert event so 50d is still better for me due to the speed and grip
