The Canon EOS 550D digital SLR camera takes many of the features found in professional cameras and squeezes them into a smaller, more consumer friendly body. The 550D's 18 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor is paired with Canon's advanced DIGIC IV image processor to give users superb image quality, unlimited creativity and Full 1920x1080p HD movie capability. The sensor and processor combination offers ISO settings of 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) and the clever in-camera noise reduction technology further improves the EOS 550D's low-light performance. Despite being considerably smaller than many Pro DSLRs, the Canon EOS 550D offers a continuous shooting rate of 3.7 frames per second and a 9 point auto-focus system, making it capable of grabbing fast-paced action shots that other cameras may struggle with.

18-55mm lens main features
The Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS lens is a standard zoom lens. It features the smaller size image circle, especially designed for Canon EOS 20D, 30D, 40D upwards and other cameras using the "APS-C" size sensor. The focal length is equivalent to approx. 28-90mm in 35mm format. This makes this lens ideal as a basic everyday lens. This lens features Canon's optical Image Stabilizer technology, which gives it up to 3-4 stop compensation for image blur created by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. This guarantees clear, crisp images, even in dim light. It is specifically designed for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare.
