18 MP CMOS sensor
Ideal for those who want to create large, poster-size prints - or
crop images without losing any of the detail necessary for printing
- EOS 550D's 18MP CMOS sensor is outstanding in low light, and
produces images with incredibly low noise.
DIGIC 4
Canon's DIGIC 4 processor works with the CMOS sensor to deliver
14-bit image processing, for smooth gradations and natural looking
colours. DIGIC 4 also powers advanced Noise Reduction when shooting
at higher ISO speeds, plus split-second start-up times and
near-instant image review after shooting.
High ISO for low light
When light levels fall, the EOS 550D offers an ISO range of up to
6400 - expandable to 12800 for those environments where using flash
is undesirable.

to shoot Full HD (1080p) video. To satisfy your creativity the EOS
550D features full manual control and selectable frame rates. You

action is really fast. An HDMI connection allows High Definition

TVs playback can be controlled using the TV's remote control.
