1. the original 18/55 kit lens on 550D - buy a lens hood (HK$90) to protect the lens and also to shelter against the side light flare in - just like when it's sunny bright, you need to have your hands held against your eyebrows to see things clearly. 2. Get a hand grip (Canon brand at HK$1,2xx and sub-brand at $1,0xx) to make it larger for your hand to hold the camera firmer.
3. Of course, the hand grip isn't just for style. It can be put with 2 batteries to boost up the performance of 550D. Well simply say it as "turbo". 4. This is something I neglected in the past - the battery mha value. mha is like horse power, voltage is the speed for a car. 400D's battery is at 720mha, 500D at 1,000mha and 550D at 1,120. One 2A alkaline battery (pen battery) is about 1,500mha. So this 6 x 2A batteries mean 9,000mha vs. 2,300 mha (on turbo). Well the more mha, the faster the flash can restore to get ready again and the faster the focus...etc. That reminded me of my old time remote speed boat that I also use 8 or 12 batteries to boost up the motor power, and also part of the electrical knowledge I learned from my father and my brother.
5. See how this one looks but it's 60% heavier. I hesitated to do that since together with a zoom lens 300mm, this is even heavier. 6. What's good about the hand grip is that it has the side buttons for enlarging and focus/shutter button; so you don't need to bend your hand up for pressing the button on the main camera body.
