Can anyone tell me which of this is best to invest? I have seen many comparison reviews about this 2 powerful Canon cameras but I'm confuse which one should I get. The 7D boasts 18 megapixel, 8.5 frame rate/sec, and is HD ready but its much costly and bulkier while 550D has same specs in 7D and the only difference is 3.7 frames rate/sec and its much fair in price.
Has anyone have these DSLR cameras? If so how is one really differ to one another in terms in lighting, still, sharpness and etc. you know what I mean.. Some people also state that the 550D is a baby version of 7D.

If I was the one that was making this choice, then there would really be no question in my mind. I would go with the 550D. The reason that this would be the proper choice for me is the fact that I like to save money where saving money is possible. Besides that, I don't take a lot of high action photography so I really don't have a need to have a frame rate of 8.5 per second. As far as the other abilities of the cameras, I've found that all of the Canon DSLRs are about the same when it comes to these.

Yeah I'm going for the 550D. I'm just wondering why did canon do this? They are going to compete their own products.. I just don't understand.. They should really make some few adjustment if the prices is worth it. 550D is just slightly have a disadvantage and plus the body is just plastic.. that's it.

nykel I would go with the one you can afford and that you really want the most,also I think it depends on whether you are an accomplished photographer or a beginner too. I say go with your heart as you will be sorry you did not get the one you really want the most. good luck.

I have tried many digital cameras, but I got to admit that I have found Canon to be the best. I don't know a lot of the technical details, but I've had two Canon's and the colors are so close to the original that I can see with my eye. The one I use right now is a few years old, but still going well. It's an IXUS 851S, compact, 10 Magpixels with great battery life.
