Buy or wait for popular camera price trends and cost-effective sharing

The development of digital cameras today can be described as a "pixel dispute" and a "personal revolution." After entering the "post-pixel" era, major digital camera brands will focus on handling or other more personalized features. From the new products released this year, we can see that the "personalization dispute" is probably a competition direction for digital cameras in the next few years. For ordinary people, no matter how the digital camera market changes, the most concerned is always the price, only the outstanding digital camera can truly win favor. Now, let Xiaobian take everyone to see if the popular camera of this year is worth buying. Also, when is the best value for money when buying?

Recommended products: Canon 550D kit (18-55mm IS)
Reference price: 5550 yuan

Speaking of Canon's popular digital cameras this year, it is sure to be an entry-level SLR "machine emperor" with close to mid-range SLR performance - the Canon 550D. First, it was sold out and the market went 500 yen. Even if there was a significant price cut, the Canon 550D was still in a rising state from the perspective of an overall price trend in the first half of the year. Although it has reached the peak of a camera release in the second half of the year, many entry-level SLRs have begun to cut prices to meet the arrival of new products, such as the Sony A550 kit, in just two or three weeks to madly drop 1,000 yuan. However, the impact of Canon’s 60D launch of the Canon 550D was only slightly reduced, and the overall price was at a firm state.

From the current situation, the upward trend of the Canon 550D may still maintain a certain amount of time. Unless Canon re-emerges itself, and then an entry-level SLR's "king of kings", this may change the Canon 550D price "smell only sound" situation. However, Canon apparently has no plan in this regard for the time being, and none of the other brands of entry-level SLRs can threaten its status as a king. In addition, Canon's supply is relatively tight, and it may be necessary to see it as a “descent” spectacular scene. Wait for a while.

The Canon 550D is Canon’s newest entry-level digital SLR camera with an 18 megapixel CMOS sensor, a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor, and a 3-inch 3:2 aspect ratio 1.04 million point high-definition LCD. Can shoot 1920x1080/30fps full HD video clips. As a Canon 3-digit SLR, it shares certain originals with its mid-to-high end SLR Canon 7D, so its performance in performance is not to be discounted.

The Canon 550D uses a 63-zone dual-layer photometric sensor and a 63-zone dual-layer photometric sensor that is equivalent to the high-end model 7D. The photometric sensor is equipped with a color detection function capable of detecting red and blue light color information in RGB. At the time of shooting, it is possible to correct the exposure deviation due to the type of the light source, the color of the subject, and the like, as well as the focusing error. In addition, the Canon 550D can achieve ±5 grades in the exposure compensation range, so it is easy to show extreme high-profile and low-key. This function can also be used flexibly in a performance technique (HDR) that captures a plurality of images with different exposure levels.
