I’m in a very privileged position where I get to teach young local kids in Aylesbury how to be a better photographer. Part of that job is to get the best equipment for them. I recommended the Canon 550D and before we let the camera’s loose on the kids I’ve been getting myself familiar with them. So far I’m very impressed. If I were to compare the 550D to the Nikon D90 (which happens to be a great little camera) I would say the 550D has the slight edge because it can do great video (more of that to come later).

In the meantime, check out these test shots.
