Question 3 choices: 450d, 500d, 550d

Hi
I'm trying to decide among the three models listed above as my first entry-level dSLR camera. Which one would be good (regardless of the date of release). I will be travelling this summer, taking tons of photos.If you could back your rec with some reasons, I would really appreciate your help!

If there's no worries about budget, just get the 550D and enjoy it.

I second that. It's arguably THE best starter camera available.

haha. 550D gets a vote from me as well. The price difference for a 7D sensor is such a good deal imo.
