Superb camera and service!

Ordered this on Thursday night and got in on Saturday morning. Outstanding service from Flipkart and at a great price!

This camera is really a steal at this price, given that its sensor is the same as that of its replacement, the 600d which will retail for Rs. 10k more (as a matter of fact it has the same sensor as the far more expensive eos 7d). In well lit conditions it takes superb images in auto mode, but what makes an slr truly enjoyable is the ability to play with aperture and shutter speed settings in manual mode. The interface is really easy to use and well explained in the manual, and had me up and shooting in no time.

Highly recommended!

Awesome Cam, Good Service, Courteous and Responsive Staff.

My entry into the DSLR world and i chose the 550D. after about a week, i am one happy and proud owner. It was either a 550D or a Nikon D5100 for me. Both are good and both have their pros and cons. I chose the 550D.

I was told i would get the Cam on the 4th, but received it on the 5th. But that was within their 3 days delivery time :). So no complaints. I was very eager (and anxious) to get my hands on this beauty. And therefore kept calling the Support, who btw were very courteous. Provided the right information and not once did they mislead me.

The cam and the other freebies were packed very well.

Overall, a great experience with flipkart and i'll definitely be back for more. Would also highly recommend flipkart. Safe and Fast, with good EMI options.

Just Amazing piece of camera

i oredered for this camera after extensive research on the net and of course some freinds from the feild of photography. i must say, it was worth every bit of effort put in. A masterstroke camera and definately worth the money, anybody who has this passion of photography and wants to graduate from the point to shoot to the DSLR should make the entry with this piece...enjoin every bit of it. As far as the service of Flipkart goes..i m impressed with their packing, update on the order track and the way the whole transaction was handled. i had orderd for cash on delivery and let me admit nobody sends stuff worth 38k just like tht. Thank u flipkart, it was worth it:)
