Canon has announced the 550D with 18 MP sensor, full HD-recording at 1080p resolution (at 30 fps), advanced 63 zone metering system and a 3.7 frame per second burst speed and a high resolution LCD.

Well, 1500/2000D may just be round the corner!

Seems like people who think Nikon D90 is ISO king in mid range would go wrong..

Just checked the samples of EOS 550D.. Beautiful performance.. Awesome till ISO 3200..
Check and compare it with D90..

Photo from Canon 550D.. at ISO 3200

Photos are of original size... will take lot time to load [are about 8mb each]

BUT everyone must check..
And comparison is quite easy.. for me 550D is winner..

Wait for the 60D and you'll learn soon enough. However, if it turns out to be too good, it will cannibalize the 7D!

I still cant find any post from Nikon lovers to accept the very fact that 550D ISO performance is better that D90 Neutral

Ashvary, I'm not taking your bait.

Yet, please do not forget that you are talking of two highly sophisticated cameras and it is rather sad that you have chosen to dwell on one out of a long list of aptitudes to deride at a capable imaging equipment, Nikon D90. I do not own either of the two DSLRs mentioned by you and any decisions I may arrive at will be based on secondary data, either the pictorial output or the analysis thereof available at the Net and other media, of the two cameras at different ISOs. And if I'm allowed to use your own yardstick, The Canon 550D has an on-board flash which is blind as a bat to Canon flashlight systems! You think it is an insignificant omission? Think of those who can afford to purchase only one Speedlight and want to use it off camera.

No, this may not be a deal-breaker for some. Similarly, high ISO performances may not be a deal-breaker for the others. Therefore, Sir, it is my humble submission that you do not write off the Nikon D90 in such a hasty and unfortunate manner, that too, when most folks may have barely been able to sniff through the new Canon 550D.

Just translated Uma ji's post in Google Translate for fun..
Cant stop laughing after reading the Hindi Version..

फिर भी, भूल जाते हैं कि तुम दोनों के अत्यधिक परिष्कृत कैमरों की बात कर रहे हैं और यह न कि दुख की बात है कि तुम aptitudes की लंबी सूची में से एक पर रहने के लिये एक योग्य इमेजिंग उपकरणों पर उपहास, Nikon D90 चुना है मत करो. मैं तुम दोनों ने उल्लेख किया DSLRs के किसी और किसी भी फैसले पर मैं आ सकते हैं द्वितीयक डेटा पर आधारित होगा ही नहीं, दो कैमरों की भी सचित्र उत्पादन या इंटरनेट और अन्य मीडिया में तत्संबंधी उपलब्ध विश्लेषण, विभिन्न ISOs में. और अगर मैं अपने मानदण्ड, कैन्यन 550D उपयोग की अनुमति दी है एक पर है, जो बोर्ड फ़्लैश कैन्यन टॉर्च सिस्टम को बल्लेबाजी के रूप में अंधा होता है! आपको लगता है कि यह एक मामूली चूक रहा है? जो लोग केवल एक ही Speedlight खरीद और उसे कैमरे से उपयोग करना चाहते हैं खर्च कर सकते हैं के बारे में सोचो.

नहीं, यह एक सौदे के लिए कुछ ब्रेकर नहीं हो सकता. इसी प्रकार, उच्च आईएसओ प्रदर्शन एक सौदे दूसरों के लिए ब्रेकर नहीं हो सकता. इसलिए, महोदय, यह मेरा विनम्र निवेदन है कि आप से इतनी जल्दबाजी और दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण तरीके से, वह भी, जब ज्यादातर लोग मुश्किल से किया गया है के लिए के माध्यम से सूंघ कर सकते में Nikon D90 लिख नहीं है नए 550D कैन्यन.

Amazing job, Ahvary! My sides are still aching laughing!!

Hi Umaji & Ashvary,

Read your conversation chain, and enjoyed it. Very Happy
Thanks to Umaji for the news about the launch of EOS 550D.

Ashvary, I saw the pics in the links that u have mentioned.
If one takes a casual look then sure the 550D scores over D90, at 3200 ISO.
However, on a closer look what I can see is that the shot taken by 550D was under much better lit conditions than the one taken my D90.

I am not a inclined towards any one of the manufacturers, but still I will go with Umaji, and say that we cannot judge the cameras with photos on the links.

If it was same shot taken by both cams, at similar light conditions, it would be a much better and even comparison.

Well, thats just my opinion.... Smile

Yeh! you are right porno..

The 550D shot is in better lit condition..

As said, when same location shot is taken with both camera, then the things could be best judged..
But now a days, these face to face comparison is least seen in the websites...
