This 18 megapixel camera uses a CMOS sensor “almost” the same as the much more expensive Canon 7D. The body bulk and mass are less than the 7D and there is one Digic processor rather than two. The viewfinder is penta mirror not prism. However, for most people all the desirable features of a DSLR are found in the 550D. The high resolution LCD doubles as the function display and turns off when the eye approaches the viewfinder. — dpexpert

Spotted the first signs of spring? Then that means that there’s nothing quite like the great outdoors for all amateur photographers and their faithful camera right now. The two new Optima 103 and Optima 104 digital cameras from AgfaPhoto make it easy to capture those first shots of spring.
Measuring in at only 16.9mm or 18mm in depth they are particularly slimline and practical – although anything but lean in features.
