Canon 550D

Sometimes I wonder why money is spent so quickly. Besides the reason of inflation (well, thanks to the burst of the US banking system, we who live in Asia are having our food much more expensive ever), cool stuff and toys churns out at warp speed. Features just stacked up against each other. Sometimes like the OS in your computer, lots of powerful 'features', only 5-10% are those you will ever use. Now it is time to burn your red-pockets.

Back to this cool little 'entry-level' camera. It was dubbed the mini-7D due to the borrowing of features from the highend 7D. Now the entry barrier is pushed further down but the features are pushed higher up. And it is officially released in Hong Kong now. The packages are quite affordable.
