T2i/550D???

IV been doing alot of reading and im confused. Is the canon T2i and 550D the same camera. I really want the T2i since everyone on this forum speaks highly of it.

Same camera (as is the Kiss X4). I'm not sure if the 550D will work for us, though, cuz the battery charger is probably using that weird alien Euopean electrical plug. The Kiss X4, however, uses the exact same electrical plug, so you can totally buy the Japanese version, save a little money, as long as you don't mind having a Japanese instruction manual (English version downloadable as PDF).

You can get the conversion adapter plug for the European version, so i believe.

I've used those and, in my experience, they are not the most convenient things.

Better to just get the correct plug for your region.

Definitely, unnecessary fuss.

Anytime i go to the US, I'm stood over the plugs staring at the conversion sockets, knowing they're going to screw me over one-way or another.

I bought mine from Japan, and the only problem was the japanese manual, but like TheCranker said, you can always download the pdf version from canon's site.

Forget the T2i and 550D, go for the Kiss X4





Theyre all the same model, just different names.
