Hi, im new here. Need some help
The easy answer is the 60D. It is the newer of the two cameras but a little more expensive.
The harder answer would be based on your needs which haven't been mentioned. From that perspective, the question is difficult to answer. Could a little more information be provided so that we can be of help to you?
I want to learn to take good quality photos and learn more about DSLR. I was thinking about getting 550D but the price range diff not really alot,so why not get 60D. Thanks for the help

If budget, size and weight are not major considerations, then I would definitely recommend the 60D. The 550D is a smaller, lighter camera and its IQ is similar to the 60D, but there are more features on the 60D that make it easier and more flexible to use.
well the diff is about S$300-400 if i'm not mistaken, u can top up a bit and get a 2nd hand fast zoom or a prime + accesory, maybe u would like to tell ur max budget, both 550D or 60D is capable of producing good image, u might wanna save the extra $ diff to lens department or a flash
you like asking a question of "Should I eat Hainanese Chicken rice from a hawker center or a restaurant?" or "should I drink coffee from Kopitiam or Starbuck?"Hi, im new here. Need some help
the sensible answer is depends on your whether is a need or want and your budget.
try to hold both cams, get which ever you think is more comfortable to you...
performance wise, both are almost the same...

550D body now only $1012 at Parisilk and SLR Revo, with standard Canon freebies. The savings of $400 can be used to buy accesories, or just top up a little to get a Tamron 17-50non VC... The 550D price has really came tumbling down since 60D launched, and I would encourage anyone who is first starting out to try out this wonderful camera.
Now not really worth it to buy the 550D from B&S given the low street price for the body now. Might as well go for a new one

I guess that the prices for a 550D from BnS will have to drop correspondingly.
just a question...what lens will you pair with the camera?I want to learn to take good quality photos and learn more about DSLR. I was thinking about getting 550D but the price range diff not really alot,so why not get 60D. Thanks for the help
do you intend to get an external flash as well?
judging from his reply up there i doubt he even aware or care about lens yet lol :bsmilie: in my opinion, TS better to start out with 18-55 kit and upgrade when he know's more about DSLR
Now TS cam go read this and decide for himself..

not now obviously, someone still selling it for $1000 (FIXED) for their 6 months old 550D without memory card, bag and all the canon freebies if you buy new one
it's just a ripoff
BnS sellers of 550D body will have to price their second hand copy at around $800 (with remaining warranty left) to really catch attention.
If they sell at 1K or even $900, I think very hard to get rid...

probably the cheapest is 945 if u have trade-in some spoilt canon PnS digicam at the service centre..
Brand new Canon EOS 550D: DD Electronics selling at S$1,055 (nett before 2% cash payment discount) or package with EF-S 15-85mm IS USM Lens at $1,994 (nett before 2% cash payment discount).
And Brand new Canon EOS 60D with 15-85mm IS USM S$2,371 (Nett before 2% cash payment discount) while body alone is S$1,379 (nett before 2% cash discount).
Btw...I don't work for them but just want to share of an alternative place to get very competitive gears (parallel importer so warranty rest with them, not Canon which is fine with me with big discounts).
