Do I need to wait for a 60D? I don’t think so now.
I have just recently purchased the Rebel T2i (550D) for my wife, this will be her third Rebel and never a problem.
Her new T2i has amazing IQ, and as sharp as a tack, (blows away my 30D) and it’s on par with our son’s 50D, and no micro adjustment to worry about. She has one Canon lens and two Sigma’s, lenses, no problems with any of them.
My concern was always a smaller body with the Rebel, but the T2i although being small, somehow feels better than previous models.
I’ve never been very keen on having to do micro adjustments, and the Rebel appears to work just great without that feature.
I know many of you are going say “It’s still an amateur, or entry level camera” but the fact is, it still has great IQ and is that not what we want.
Do I need 6fps? Not really. Do I want to do micro adjustment? No. Do I need a metal body? It would be nice, but I can live without it.

Oh stop it, you make me want one! Glad you're enjoying it. :D
 
I've been thinking about selling my 50D for one, having an interest in video really makes it a difficult choice for me as the video features on the 550D are excellent IMO.
 
I recently bought the Rebel T2i 550D and so far I love how everything works and I'm new at having a camera with different features not quite sure how to use all of them but slowly learning if you were to buy it I know you would love it
 
I've just gone back to my 550D after selling my 7D and 5D2 to finance a 5D3. I had given it to the wife when I got both of the other bodies, as I liked the 550D so much I didn't want to sell it. It's taking a bit of getting used to again, but Im really enjoying using it again. I might have to end up getting a second hand 40 or 50D as a backup to the 5D3 though, as the wife wants her camera back as soon as I get my new one.

And I was thinking about the opposite, as the 50d has a much better burst rate and alloy body.
 
Check the dates, this thread has been dragged up from 2010 :thinking:
