Always view the pictures taken on computer, not on the 550D LCD!! I always find colour extremely appealing when view on 550D LCD than computer screen, any fellow 550D user face the same issue also?? :bsmilie:
Bro you’re in the same boat as me in terms of low light use. I think the 15.1mp sensor doesn’t do well at 3200 and above, and sometimes 3200 is needed in concert settings, even with 2.8 lens.
Yea, the canon 15.1 mp sensor is known to be a lil red heavy, thou the 500D is less than the 50D, I still then to have to do some WB in post processing. It’s not alot, but it’s still a noticable tad redder than what I see. It might be the metering thou. The 18mp iFCL sensor metering pair looks to be more natural, but for now I still think it’s either 7D, or failing that wait for the 60D. Because 500D to 550D is just too little of an upgrade to spend a possible $400 or more.

Ive been seriously considering upgrading to the 7D, not thinking about the 550D, because from my recent concert shoot, 3fps and the very small raw Buffer is quite limiting. Its not even about just continuous shooting. In the situations where you have to take multiple shots in quick succession, adjust and shoot somemore, youll find you wont even get to check your shots exposure because the camera is still writing to the card.
But if these features dont matter to you, based on PURE IQ and Low light then ok. I just think its a case of paying $ to lose some features you might miss later. Oh, the XXXD series shutter is quite loud compared to the XXD and XD series
7D is too expensive for me now, and the 2nd hand prices are still only $100-200 off the street price.
Don’t see why it shouldn’t be. My 500D does it really fast. Lock, swish of the USM, Snap. Then again i’m using a f2.8 or better usually so, it might affect because I think the center AF point is the cross type that is more sensitive at f2.8
Can't really comment coz I haven't really use the 50D so I'm not in the position to compare. 7D is fast though. Sell your 50D and go 7D!
Nothing wrong to that.
Not really, cross type AF allow u to lock focus faster in low light irregardless f Aperture.
I find 550D centre AF point very fast & good, but the other 8 points are painfully slow.
However, it can be solved if u mount a flash that shoots IR at all AF points to assist in focus.
Yeah, I like the fact the center AF point is extremely good. I am facing fornt & back focus on my Tamron lens on my 350D at times (4/10 times), but with 550D centre AF cross point, the ratio went down to 0.5/10.

Broad daylight, digital cameras also no problem. lolx
