Yup its very good ...... I just bought my new kit yesterday on my bday .... My first dslr , so i did a lot of research for around 3 months n bought it , its an excellent camera

yes canon 550D is good for beginners ..what kind of specifications you want..check the dpreview for complete specification..

currently there is good deal for canon 550d with kit lens at Rs 27500 in ebay...

550D is just too good for begineers...it have great features ...actually u need to learn every DSLR slowly ...the learning curve will be same for all dslrs....

As mastervk said there r some great offers right now...

u can also consider nikon D5100 if u have the budget

I think 550d is for an advanced armature. If you are a beginner, you can still go for it but for a beginner, 1100d is better.

@audiophilic now days 550D have come down for begineers

Yes it is good also for a beginner, especially if you are not out of money. But if you are slightly lower on cash, 1100d will be a good choice as well as an entry level.

PS i would say intermediate armature, not advanced (my bad :-D

I would have bought a 550D instead of my D3100 if the price difference at that time was not 12k

^ No, you would have bought D5100

@nac D5100 was not released at that time

....nikon had D5000 which had old sensor
