    epic,

    the senors are not the same, very similar though, that is stated even by Canon. Beyond the sensors there are still a lot of components on board that are not mentioned. I will have to wait to till dpreview does their full review of the 550D to be entirely conclusive. I am actually waiting for it.

    Don't get me wrong. The 550D brings the entry level line closer to the am/pro line. No doubt about it. I am a skeptic to say the 550D will perform as well as or outperform the 50D. It would be consumer suicide for Canon to do that and terrible marketing. From my experience, the line has always been drawn between the entry level and the entry level for amateur/pro line products. Generally this is in overall image quality. ;)

    • interesting... I remember 300D had worse iq than 10D despite having the same sensor. Is it true for current lineup?raf
