About the Canon EOS 550D DSLR Body

The Canon EOS 550D (also known as the Rebel T2i) is an 18-megapixel APS-C DSLR aimed at enthusiasts stepping up from a compact or an older entry-level body. Its DIGIC 4 processor delivers clean images up to ISO 6400, 3.7 frames per second continuous shooting and Full HD 1080p video at 24, 25 or 30fps, with a microphone input for better sound. The 3-inch 1.04-million-dot LCD is bright and detailed, and the 9-point autofocus system with a centre cross-type point handles everyday subjects well. This listing is for the camera body only, so you can pair it with any Canon EF or EF-S lens you already own.
