Woozy: The AF is the same as the 20/30D, not 40D (which has all nine-point cross sensors).

Yeah. Somehow I prefer 350D's 7 point layout. However, 350D X sensors are not as effective as 550D's 1.
 

Went to mscolor at amkhub, the original batt lpe8 is 85... i did not buy from them as the sales person is more interested in his iphone than the customer... :thumbsd:

So bad? I always thought MS Color got good service base on comments by fellow forumers.
That's one of the reason why i wanted to get my 550 from there..other than their lowest quote.
Though sometimes a bit irritated when email them or call them cause they like reluctant to provide more info.. somehow give me a feeling like not too interested..

Ordered my first dslr through priviledge program, $1429 for KIT 2!! Happy...

Any recommendation of nice good value lens hood for the 18-135mm? and also filters? sorry for the noobishness :P
 

Crap... YOu should have bought 55-250mm IS instead of 75-300mm USM.
Rather Ex for Kit 1 + that lens....
But then, keep shooting to fully uterlise your camera value!!

@yinsheng
Lens hood for kit 1? That lens hood don't seems to be effective. :P

I think he is referring to the 70-300mm IS not the 75mm-300mm....

Hi guys
I've just registered to join this thread :) I purchased the 550d kit at it show last week. I'm looking to buy 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 as an upgrade of the kit lens. I think this will be a good upgrade but most stores have no stock. (Anybody knows where there is stock pls Pm me.) I don't like the 17-85mm one. But I do have the cheap 50mm f/1.8 II which is my favorite at the moment because of its sharpness.

Very nice camera indeed. And very useful thread by the way. I've backread from page 1 :)

17-85mm F4-F5.6 is quite sharp on my 550D wide open. :)
Only corners lost are quite cui at 17mm.
But I am selling it away in favour of Tamron 28-75mm.
 

does anyone know when the 550D User Guide is coming out (not the manual).
 

is the screen protector available in stores already? too lazy to cut and fit :p

Good to hear that. Haven't tried it personally but a friend also says the image is sharp as well. Still I'm eying for 15-85mm, if my budget permits. I heard John 3:16 has stock for $1,0XX cash :)
