I want to do …
I want to do expressive portrait/nature photography and im looking for main features such as fast shutter speed, really clear and defined images, and aperture priority. Im tossing up between this camera and the 50d (both in kits). Im just a beginner, but really really keen. What do you recommend?

@profsorxxx Anything Class 6 or above should be fine for HD recording. So the memory card you are saying should do it easy :)

@sfuk89 Yes, …
@sfuk89 Yes, actually you can. It takes a seperate picture as a seperate file. The video actually freezes for about a second and loses the audio for that second as well.

Is it worth buying the 18-55mm kit lens with the body for someone who just started with photography?

I was going to address that lighting issue problem you mentioned, but then its good that you realized the exposure lock wasn’t on.

Good Review.

Good videos Dave. Don’t understand groomlakes comment. I found the 4 in the set to be a super introduction to the camera and of great help in making an expensive decision. As I posted earlier – I purchased one and and they helped me get a quick understanding of the many functions – as just like all real men – I rearly read manuals. Thanks- Alan. South Africa.

Hi Dave, just a …
Hi Dave, just a question. Are you sure that it was the exposure changing and not the lens aperture? If the lens is for example from F4.0 to F5.6, then wouldn’t the lighting change either way when you zoom in and out? Just wondering, because then the only solution really would be to buy an expensive zoom lens that has a fixed aperture.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a lot of work goes into the reviews. I hope that viewers find the info useful.

The music is called Jaracanda, it is an Apple Loop. As for the quality question, not sure. Maybe it would determine the low light performance more, so well lit scenes should be of equal quality. Anyone else care to answer this one?

like the music at 2:00. What is it?a very usefull set of reviews since there seems to be a shortage of 550D review videos at the moment. If the sensor on the 550D is smaller than the 5D MKII, does that mean that the quality of the high definition video will not be as high on the 550 as the MKII, even on the same 1080p setting?

Yes, I had the IS active on the lens. Also, if you listen carefully on this video you can hear the IS working in the audio. It is only just audible though.

Thanks for the review… Did you use lens stabilisation on the video shots, and does the mic pick up lens noise?
