Answer #1

The 500d, for sure. They both have the equal amount of components. One may have one or two things over the other & vice versa..

Answer #2

The 500D is a 15.1 mp sensor camera, also known as the T1i. The 550D is an 18 mp sensor camera also known as the T2i. More mp the better the resolution.
Advantages of the 550 over the 500 reported by test sites. 550 Lower noise levels at higher speed 550 Has external Mic Jack 500 doesn’t 550 supports 24p video 500 doesn’t 550 captures 20% more detail in pictures 550 better depth of color 550 better light sensitivity 6,400 ISO vs 3,200 ISO 550 10% longer battery life

Price difference of only about $40 I’d go with the 550D over the 500D
