Buying 1st DSLR 550D...

[ahbian]

hey.. i am also thinking about buying the cannon 550D but i chance upon the 7D and like the grip and body a lot more on the 7D.. i am a first time DSLR buyer and was wondering if buying the 7D is an overkill for me.. Should i buy the 550D body and buy maybe better lens like the !8-85is usm? would appreciate any advise..thanks..

If its within your budget and you like its handling better, then by all means go for the 7D. I don't really believe that its overkill, so long as you spend the time to learn as you go along.

Just curious, what do you mean by shutter vibration? Does that really affect how your pictures turn out?

i think he is referring to the sound of the mirror slap.
