^^ Thanks Aryan.
I have also been contemplating a lot on the 550D mainly because of the bigger sensor and higher ISO capabilities. As you said, the video is not something I am interested in. However it does have a manual exposure control in the Video mode. Apparently Its not available on EBAY and only one piece available on AMAZON since the camera was launched on Feb 8th, 2010, which is like 30 days back.

For the price, I feel its a steal. I can invest the rest of my budget on a decent Flashgun, memory card and some silver reflectors.

I have been using a friend's Canon EOS 1000D till now. I have used it for more than a year and I am quite well versed with it.
I will ask a friend who is coming back from America to bring it along in 2 months. Just waiting for some good reviews about the camera.
