Canon has announced a new consumer DSLR: the EOS 550D or Rebel T2i (USA) as an evolution of 500D.

Let''s see the main additions and improvements with comments as in the style of LightPoint articles:

SD/SDHC and SDXC format memory cards are supported.

Camera weight is 530 g, 50 g more than 500D but almost 300 g less than 7D.

Given all these updates, we are curious to see how Canon might fit a rumoured 60D model between this new consumer camera and the 7D model: 7D basically distinguishes itself for a higher and longer burst rate, AF lens microadjustments and better AF, important features but not so many ones to let another mid-level model enter in between. We will see.

Availability should be from March 2010 with initial price around 800 $ that is quite interesting having some higher-end features.
