\"Canon<\/img>The Canon EOS 550D has been voted European Camera 2010-11 by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EISA judges – who included Amateur Photographer <\/em>Editor Damien Demolder – praised the DSLR as an ?excellent entry level camera, as it offers a wide range of features in a well-designed body?. <\/p>\n

The EISA judging panel added: ?Full HD video recording is available with full manual control of exposure and focusing, as well as still image modes for photographers of all skills.<\/p>\n

?The camera has the same 18-million-pixel resolution as the high-end EOS 7D, and offers very similar image quality, but in a camera that is much more affordable.<\/p>\n

?This is a well-specified camera packed with features that will help all types of photographer enjoy their hobby more.?<\/p>\n

The 550D’s higher-spec sibling, the EOS 7D, triumphed in the Advanced SLR category.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nikon?s D3S bagged this year?s European professional camera title. <\/p>\n

The Nikon D3S was lauded as the ?perfect DSLR for professional sports, action and low-light photography?.<\/p>\n

Last year’s Best SLR Camera<\/a> title was won by the EOS 550D?s predecessor, the Canon EOS 500D. <\/p>\n

Keep an eye out for upcoming issues of Amateur Photographer<\/em> magazine for a full list of this year’s winners.<\/p>\n
