Yo! When did you bought it from MS? I called on Sun, MOn and tues..still no stock... and they cant confirm when it will be in...
John3:16 still got but MS quoted lower price and nearer to my place...

Last friday bro. they only have 3 stocks left after i bought the 550D. I think some shops in funan offer more freebies.

The Digital Picture reviews the 550D: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-Rebel-T2i-550D-Digital-SLR-Camera-Review.aspx

"The EOS 7D delivers the most-comparable image in both resolution and in noise performance. I don't see a significant difference between the images from these two cameras, but give the T2i the slight edge."

Just tested 1080p NTSC 30fps video last night with the pendrive 8GB Class 4 card. The buffer windows never comes out. However, if u snap a picture (I tested L super fine and Raw + L super fine), the video recording stops approx 2 sec later as the camera writes the picture file.

Just tested with my 4GB Lexar 60x platinum card: Able to take Super fine L photos while video recording at 1080p. However, cannot take RAW.
Not bad.
