just to share. i accompanied my friend a few days ago to buy camera. she bought 550D.after buying we sat at a restaurant and asked her to try with her new toy. she took my picture and saw that my picture turn out to be so fair. the colour is not natural. compare to my Nikon D90, the colour is so vibrant. my suggestion here is that u go to a camera shop that allows u to try their product. test shot with this two camera and make comparison.
