The Canon EOS 550D is a solid mid-range camera whose main virtue is that it allows you to capture incredibly detailed photos without ever getting in the way or spoiling the fun of picture taking. Surely enough, it doesn't have the robust build, comfortable hand-grip, weather sealing, dual control wheels, large viewfinder, 8fps burst mode. Canon understands the principles of product differentiation, and knows that those who really need these features will eventually cough up the price for the higher-specified model, while the rest of the target market will happily embrace the smaller, lighter and friendlier Rebel.
Not to mention that apart from these few things, the Canon EOS 550D has practically everything its bigger brother has to offer. 18 megapixels? Tick. 63-zone metering sensor? Tick. Full HD movie recording with user selectable frame rates? 1,040,000-dot LCD screen with 3:2 aspect ratio? Some of these are things the 7D doesn't even have. Clearly, if you are shopping for a new DSLR camera, the EOS 550D should be high on your list.
