Canon EOS 550d or Canon EOS 7d?
I know you can see this comparison everywhere on the internet but my concern is that I don’t see much difference. I was close to buying the 7d until I saw the LCD control panel which is supposed to show a wide range of information about camera settings and exposure.
Should I fear it or not?
And in a DSLR I am looking for:
1. High ISO speed (most probably 12800)
2. Great auto focus
3. A rapid continuous shooting (kind like EOS 7d which takes 8 frames per second)
4. Image Stabilizer
5. User friendly
I don’t mind the videos that much. Thank you! xx
Operation of the two cameras is actually very similar and the rear LCD menus are nearly identical. The 550D uses an older 9-point AF system similar to that found in the 50D and nearly all XXD series cameras before it. It works just fine but, the 7D’s AF system is much more versatile and allows a range of customization to suit user preferences and/or shooting conditions that until now, was only found in the 1D/1Ds series cameras. Both cameras offer Canon’s “Creative Auto” mode turns the exposure adjustments into a graphical user interface on the rear LCD panel. The 7D omits the “basic modes” or scene modes found on the 55D. This is because most 7D buyers are experienced SLR users and professional photographers who don’t want or use those modes. Conversely, most 550D buyers are first time SLR buyers moving up from point-n-shoots cameras with similar mode options. Most new users will find the 550D more user friendly because it is lighter and doesn’t have nearly as many buttons/switches.
ISO 12800 is not really usable on either camera body or any crop-body camera on the market today. Nikon’s full-frame cameras can generate usable images at ISOs that high but, they are in an entirely different class of camera. That said, both the 7D and 550D produce very clean image through ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 is usable depending on the exposure and your final output size. Image quality between the 7D and 550D is almost identical because the sensors are the same design. The only difference is the 7D’s sensor has more twice as many output channels to feed the 7D’s dual image processors and support the 8fps burst rate. The 550D supports continuous bursts at about half the speed of the 7D but, most people are served well and quite happy with the cheaper 550D….Your opinion may be different.
Image stabilization with Canon and Nikon cameras is a function of the lens, not the camera body. That said, the kit lenses available with both the 550D and 7D are all IS lenses that include the Image Stabilizer feature. The kit lenses are fine choices for anyone just starting out but, as your skills broaden and increase, you may choose different lenses all together. If you don’t buy the kit lenses sold with these cameras, consider the EF-s 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or EF-s 18-200mm f/4-5.6 IS as a general purpose lens unless you have something more specific in mind. Beyond that, without knowing exactly what you plan to shoot, it is rather difficult to make lens recommendations.
The bottom line is that if you can’t see much difference between the two cameras, you are better off buying the cheaper 550D and devoting more of your budget toward better lenses. You’ll get a lot more use out of your equipment this way than you would with an expensive camera body and a cheap lens. The rule with SLRs is lenses before bodies.
