It is 129 x 98 x 62 mm (5.1 x 3.9 x 2.4 in) and weights 530g. I dont' think it fits in the "mini" category. Add to that lens dimensions and weight, battery weight.
Any EF or EF-S lens will work with both the Canon 500D and 550D. So yes.
Yes u should buy the canon
The Canon EOS 500D is a 15.1 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced by Canon. It continues the Rebel line of mid-range DSLR cameras, is placed by Canon as the next model up from the EOS 450D, and has been superseded by the EOS 550D (T2i).
I use this LPE8 battery as a spare battery for my EOS 550D camera. After almost a month of use I cannot distinguish between this and Canon OEM battery in terms of battery life, quality, ease of use. No issues of any kind. Buy 2 packs only $32.22 on amazon.
Yes it is compatible. Click here for a list of the full range of lenses available for the Canon 550D: http://www.cameraquip.co.za/joomla/index.php?option=com_content& view=article&id=221&Itemid=85 Cheers, Andrew
The Canon EOS 550D is consistently the most highly rated among customer reviews. Its balance of price and quality make it an extremely popular camera.
I actually recommend canon 6000 because it has so many things that is more and better than 550d
Canon eos rebel t3 slr is a better camera compared to canon eos rebel t2i
Absolutely yes. Canon EOS 450D has the same mount as Canon EOS 400D, wich is EF and EF-S.
The most popular brand of SLR digital cameras is Nikon D3100,Canon's EOS 550D,Canon's EOS 600D or Sony's DLSR-A390. They are all excellent for beginners or experts and they vary in price.
The 500D is the predecessor or earlier model to the 550D, but that same line is now up to the 650D, passing the 600D as well.
