Canon 550d/T2i

Just announced a new canon consumer SLR. Superceding the T1i and roughly $900MSRP it is not going to compete with Nikon’s D5000 or similar bodies. In traditional SLR camera fashion we will have to wait 2+ months to find out what the goods really deliver.

There is a preview over at DPreviewCanonrumors hasn’t yet picked up on the release.

The highlights are:

18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high image quality and speed.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light.
Improved EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control, expanded recording, new Movie Crop recording in 640 x 480 and external microphone IN terminal for access to improved sound quality.
Enhanced iFCL 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system; and 9-point AF system utilizing a high-precision, f/2.8 cross-type center point.
Wide 3.0-inch (3:2 aspect ratio) Clear View LCD monitor (1.04 million dots) for improved viewing.
New Quick Control Screen button for easy access to frequently used settings.
Improved layout with dedicated Live View/Movie shooting button.
New compatibility with SDXC memory cards, plus new menu status indicator for Eye-Fi* support.
3.7 fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately 6 RAW.
