The limit for SES is 10,000 per 24 hours as dirktheman said; you can request more but I haven't needed to yet so I don't know what that entails.
We use sendy.co - it's software you install on your own server (EC2 in your case, I use Rackspace), configure it to use SES and off you go.
I have since gone so far as to code my transactional emails (new user signed up, etc...) to use SES with their PHP samples - It was easy.
I like SES and Sendy so far; we've been using it for a few months now with no problems. Hell of a lot better then trying to code an email campaign system myself and after the initial $60 for Sendy, your just paying the email fee for SES which is so low its negligible.
