Will the CANON EOS KISS X4 work without complications in the UK?

canon digital camera japan made image

WhySoSerio

I have found this camera online for a mere £330 which is around £200 cheaper than the 500D version. My question is if I buy the japanese version will I have any complications with things like memory card and lens compatibility and also menus, power and video format? Should this camera be fine to use and have no notable issues apart from needing a universal adapter to charge the battery?

Thanks

The Canon EOS 550D is an 18.0 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced by Canon on

February 8, 2010.[1] It was made available starting February 24, 2010[2] and to US dealers starting

early March.[3] It is known as the EOS Kiss X4 in Japan, and as the EOS Rebel T2i in North America.

[4] It continues the entry level digital SLR camera series (known as Rebel line in North America) of

Canon, and is currently placed by Canon as the successor model to the EOS 500D, and has been superseded by the EOS 600D (T3i

Film lens for my digital camera?

arnold

I shoot with Canon 5D mk1 and I am planning to buy some film lens. I was looking at carl zeiss and voigtlander. I know somebody who uses a zeiss 50mm and an adapter for canon. I don't mind not having the auto focus since I shoot manual. I really like the sharpness and the colors it produces. I do own a couple of "L" and a prime. Any advise and websites where I can research?
Thanks

Answer
Carl Zeiss makes 50 mm lenses specifically for Canon and Nikon cameras

Some history from Ken Rockwell's website:

"Some years ago Zeiss licensed Kyrocera of Japan to use the name Zeiss on some lenses. Zeiss decided to put these former Contax mount lenses in Nikon mounts instead, and that's how we get these ZF lenses. This lens was not made in Germany and it was not made in a Zeiss factory. It is made in Japan by Cosina." - KR

Here is an adapter for Voigtlander to EOS camera.

You will notice that you will be using this lens in the fully manual mode.

For clarity, there is no such thing as a "film" lens. ALL Canon EF lenses are designed to be used on either 35 mm EOS cameras, full frame digital cameras (1D and 5D series) and any of the Canon EOS cropped sensor cameras.
