This morning I saw Planet5D’s comparison chart between the 55oD, 7D, 5D, and 1D. Here are a few of the differences (pertaining to video) Between the 550D and the 7D.
- Price (duh) is half of the 7D and a third of the 5D.
- No weather proofing vs. the 7D’s tough body build and weather proofing, which we discussed here.
- Weight of 1.2lbs (520 grams) vs. 7D’s 1.9lbs (860 grams), which for us heavier is good on these cameras.
So aside from the physical the 550D is the little camera that could. All that remains to be seen is how it will handle temperature and how well recording on SD cards will go.
