Canon EOS 550D – ternyata ciamik juga ya …

Dua hari yang lalu saya menemani saudara yang lagi mencari kamera DSLR. Opsi saat itu antara 50D atau 550D. Karena pertimbangan budget, akhirnya dipilihlah Canon EOS 550D dengan harga 7.9jt dapet bonus Memory 8Gb dan tripod. Berhubung tripodnya ringkih alias abal-abal, akhirnya tripod dituker dengan filter UV Hoya (0).

Setelah dicharge semaleman, langsung saya ikut mencoba kamera ini. Kesan pertama yang timbul … MAKNYOSSS …. meski pake lensa bawaan, warnanya benar-benar bisa keluar. Cuma ini masih subyektif dari pendapat saya sendiri, mungkin saja karena pixelnya yang 18mp atau mungkin karena layar dispalaynya yang sudah 1,040,000 dpi (peningkatan yang luar biasa dibanding kamera saya 50D).

Dari sisi tampilan, memang kamera ini masih terkesan kurang garang (tidak jauh beda dengan 1000D, hanya selisih sedikit) jika dibandingkan dengan 50D tapi dari sisi fungsionalitas, kelihatannya kamera ini hanya beda-beda tipis dengan 50D, dan dari sisi teknis 550D cenderung lebih unggul pada beberapa ukuran. Utamanya fitur live view dan video HDMI-nya.

Silahkan menilai sendiri dari spesifikasi di atas. Bagi para pemula seperti saya mungkin 550D bisa jadi pertimbangan yang masuk akal, tapi bagi yang pengin serius, mungkin 50D bisa diunggulkan dari sisi profesionalitas, kegarangan, dan kepuasan batin ha ha ha ha ….
