They are coming out with the EOS 550D or Digital Rebel T2i.<\/p>\n<p>The Digital Rebel T2i is a pretty sweet camera.  So here, for very little cost is a digital SLR that can shoot 18 megapixel still pictures at 3.7 frames per second, is very good with low light, and records 1080P HD video.  This is perfect for a huge segment of consumers.<\/p>\n<p>The camera has one digic 4 processor in it.  That&#8217;s the same processor as in the Canon 7D.<br \/>\nFor video use, it has a port for an external microphone.  That means that you can get high quality pictures, video, and audio from this camera for about $800 for a body or $900 for a body and 18-55mm lens.  Taking video with this should be fun.  Remember, when you shoot video with a digital SLR you have the benefit of being able to use any lens you can afford for the exact effect you want.  Most consumer grade video cameras don&#8217;t let you switch lenses.  You also can use selective focus and full f-stop control.  Those are usually non-existent or poorly implemented in consumer grade video cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from being a good camera for the average consumer, the EOS 550D \/ Digital Rebel T2i is going to be a great backup camera for the more sophisticated shooter.  I know a few pros that will use this as their main camera but yet this camera is simple enough for the entry level photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Amazon writeup on this.
