Packing an 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor (1.6x crop), a 3-inch LCD screen and a DIGIC 4 image processor into a 475g body, the Canon 550D is ideal for your travel needs.

With a 9-point auto focus (AF) system, 63-dual-zone layer metering sensor (also found in the higher-end EOS 7D) and the ability to shoot 3.7 frames per second (fps), you can be sure of capturing every photo in sharp focus with the correct exposure. Furthermore, the camera can shoot full high-definition 1920x1080 videos at up to 30fps.

Even if the lighting conditions are not favourable, fret not. With a flexible ISO speed from 100 to 12,800, you can still capture the shot you want with a fast shutter speed and not worry about camera shake.
