## Description

Canon 4462b003 18.0 Megapixel EOS Digital Rebel T2i Camera (18 - 55 Is Camera Kit)

Review: Way to go Canon! - It's hard to sum up this camera in a short review, but overall: I liked it! The T2i gives you a huge amount of bang for the buck. The 18 megapixel sensor is relatively as good as the 7D's in my opinion, and I'm saying this as a current owner of the 7D. ISO 100 files were clean, sharp, and great in the lab. Post production only made them sharper. If you held a print from this camera, a 7d, a 5D Mark II at ISO 100 I doubt seriously that any client could really tell what camera the image came from. The inclusion of a full manual video was a surprise to me, and from the samples I've seen running on my computer the videos are off incredibly excellent quality...1080p! PROS for the T2i: * Bang for the buck - Canon gives it's users a lot in terms of features. With current pricing for the body under $800, you get a sensor that matches the quality of the 7D for most of the ISO range, and at low ISO that matches the quality of the full-frame 5D Mark II. * Incredibly powerful movie mode - Canon went all out here. With full manual movie mode at 1080p @30fps and 24fps, Canon has shown they are absolutely serious about movie mode on an SLR. Using 5 different lenses in movie mode brought me back to why it was amazing on the 5D Mark II. I see the T2i now as a 5D Mark II movie wise with a built in teleconverter. Very nice! Also huge thank you for the microphone slot Canon. Very nice inclusion there * New LCD - The wide screen LCD didn't require getting any used too, and looked great. * Great ISO 100~3200 Performance - Mind you lots of cameras now are sporting high iso, but remember it was only 2 generations ago that ISO 1600 was the hard cap for the rebel series. Now pushing ISO 12800, with ISO 6400 usable in video, that's a pretty big improvement for an introductory camera. I'm personally not a fan of high iso, but if you shot a killer must get shot at iso 3200 with this camera...its easily cleanable, fixable, and usable to the extent of a big print. Just don't shoot 3200 all day long, use the high iso's with caution CONS: * AEB - Entry level cameras are a perfect time to promote tests with things like HDR. Canon still hasn't implemented taking three frames in AEB yet, and you can only go up or down two stops when you do. I rarely use AEB, but this has been a consistent issue for a while, when competitors (such as Nikon) have already moved forward with options to accomplish this with wider stop ranges. * New battery system - Companies can so easily say they are improving the performance of their batteries that they have to change it, but it really feels like they are just doing this so you have to buy their extremely expensive batteries. When I sold the t1i it had 4 batteries and a grip that cost me less than $100....now I'm stuck with 1 battery for the t2i, and probably a bill of $60 just to get another one. This is pretty much a consistent complaint whenever a new battery system is out. Can wait to see how much the grip is also. Overall this camera gives you almost everything you could want in a prosumer DSLR. It's hard to justify the extra cost of the 7D given the lack of extra features (besides the weather-sealing, 19 point AF, etc.) With the extra money you could save, I would put that money towards from better lenses. Just my two cents, but I'll be selling my 7D in lieu of the T2i so I can finally get some L lenses.
Review: Lots of research; concluded this is "the one" - This camera is as fantastic as the other 5-star reviewers have indicated. I was a young amateur SLR hobby-photographer 20 years ago; I mostly stopped buying film but never purchased anything more than a compact digital point'n'shoot for mediocre memory-shots. This DSLR was worth the wait. I buy a lot at desertcart but don't review much; this is an exception. I'll try not to reiterate too much, but I'll endorse some of the points in other reviews, and then offer some of my own thoughts. Endorsements: * Indeed, image quality is fantastic; 18MP is not "too much" for the APS-C-size sensor. Low-light performance is also great. But rather than listening to my broad statements (or those of other reviewers), Just read through the many pages of www.[desertcart removed the website name - but it's the same review site that they feature near the top of this camera's page, or if you just google for "digital photography reviews" it should be the first hit].com review, including the comparisons with "competitor" cameras. The bottom line: is the T2i light-years better than all competitors at a similar price: no; but is it very good, often equaling its own master-at-twice-the-price EOS 7D: YES! * No, no stereo mic and silent lens operation like the Panasonic GH1, but the standard stereo mic jack resolves this for me. If I want fantastic sound, then I want two mics on a stereo mic bar out on a boom anyway. In fact, I prefer this mic-input over the high-quality built-in stereo mic of the GH1 (and the few other new-comers that boast built-in stereo mics). * I will side with those who appreciate the video qualities of the camera. No, it's probably not the right camera for taping the kids' full basketball games (in 1080p HD!?), where you may want electronic zoom and quiet auto-focus (though a better lens would help with the auto-focus problem a little). But if you wonder what kind of masterpiece videos can be taken with this gem, google around for T2i videos and prepare to be awed. The community of artistic videographers is having a hay-day with the T2i, Panasonic GH1/GF1, and a (very) few others. These stand out in a class of their own. And the T2i, with 60fps 720p stands on its own, really, enabling some incredible slow-motion effects. Indeed, as has been mentioned, you can't get an interchangeable-lens video camera with a large sensor like this for anywhere near the price of this camera. Oh, and yes, make sure you have at least a Class-6 SD card, preferably Class-10, apparently (though I only have a Class-6 card and it's done ok so far), before you blame the camera for choppiness, and make sure you have a fast computer with a fast video-card before you blame the camera for taking unwatchable video. * Indeed, indoor auto-white-balance doesn't seem perfect. But the auto-ISO works pretty well; thank you Canon for the ability to limit the ceiling on it - that makes it worth using. My additional thoughts: * Yes, the body is light. It's not a professional all-magnesium brick that you can leave out in the snow and rain every night as one reviewer elsewhere likes to do with his professional Canons. But it's also not entirely "plastic", as some reviewers suggest. It's a stainless steel chassis (though who knows what gauge) with a polycarbonate resin / glass fiber shell (ok, yeah, plastic). It does "feel" light enough to be all plastic. I wouldn't treat it like a professional brick, but I also appreciate the advantages of its light weight. In my opinion: it feels light without feeling cheap. Of course, compared to a solid Magnesium, I might be inclined to say it feels cheap. To hold, that is. The function of the controls does _not_ feel cheap. Also worth noting: I have medium-small hands and have no trouble operating all of the controls _with_ thin gloves on; the profile and controls may not be acceptable to the largest-handed pro photographers, but I wouldn't read too much into those negative comments. And, finally, I, too, can't wait for camera-armor to produce a mold for the T2i (with the cutout for the new video button) so that I don't have to worry as much that the body isn't brick solid. * The kit lens may be relatively slow at f3.5 and may be plastic, but it really is a great start lens its price. You'll find a faster (f1.8) plastic lens for the same price, but it won't have image-stabilization (though the argument that you won't need it at f1.8 has some merit). It really is quite sharp, for the money. It does hunt a little for (auto-)focus in imperfect conditions, but it's not clear to me (yet) that this is all the fault of the lens. The hunting _noise_ (audible noise, that is), on the other hand, clearly marks it as an inexpensive lens. * Battery: I don't have enough experience with it yet to comment much on its performance, other than to refer to the stats according to CIPA standards. But I did notice that you can choose your background color for the LCD, where settings are displayed. I changed mine from the default white background to a dark background. If my hypothesis is right, this will save a little power. You can also reduce the amount of time a shot is displayed on the LCD after it's taken. Or you can turn the LCD off altogether, which is likely to save a healthy bit of juice. Like I said: I'll leave a great deal unsaid because other reviewers have already said it. I did a lot of research over the last 5 monhttp://www.desertcart.com/review/edit-reviewths and finally concluded that this newcomer was "the one" for me. Still, I watched developments for a few more weeks before making my purchase. Bottom line: this is a 5-star purchase. UPDATE: I emailed camera-armor, and they reported: "We currently do not have any plans on releasing Camera Armor for the Canon T2i. We apologize for the disappointment." But they say to stay tuned for new products. Perhaps the plans are around the corner even if the product is not as near as hoped. I'd be interested in knowing how well the Xsi/T1i's armor ( MADE Products CA-1135-BLK Camera Armor for Canon XSI Digital SLR Cameras (Black) ) would work -- it looks to me like the movie-record button might be covered, but otherwise the fit might be right. I haven't found any comments on this anywhere.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I've been waiting for in a Digital SLR
*by N***3 on December 1, 2010*

I've used a number of cameras through the years and this is one is as good as any of them. I got started in college with an old 35mm manual focus Canon and moved up to a 35mm Rebel a few years later. I loved both of those cameras and this one follows squarely in their footsteps. The lens compatibility with my older Rebel is fantastic and allowed me to concentrate more on the camera than a camera/lens combo (the included lens isn't bad though). One of the primary reasons I got the camera is because I wanted to take pictures of my young nieces and nephews. They simply moved faster than the shutter wanted to close on my point and shoot digital camera. With this, every picture is in focus and there's not blurring (unless you want to do it intentionally). I was thrilled at my first shots. Then I discovered the continuous shooting mode. Now I just point and press the button and it fires off several succesive frames of action and I can pick and choose which ones to keep later. The camera modes make for easy picture taking. The full auto mode is great for when you just want some quick snaps of a family event. The programmable mode adds a little more control while still allowing the camera to do most of the work. But you can also shoot shutter or aperture preferred mode or go whole hog with the full manual mode. I recently had an opportunity to test this and shooting in low light is MUCH easier with this camera compared to a non-digital as you can get instant feedback as to how your settings look. I took some great nighttime photos at a downtown event recently and had a good time fiddling with all the features. The only small complaint I have about the camera is that if you are shooting moving people in low light, you'd better be within ten feet of them and preferably closer. I believe the flash is rated at five meters but that wasn't my experience. A better lens would certainly help, as would a stronger external flash so I'm not taking any stars off for it (I found similar comments to this when doing pre-purchase research) but it is something to be aware of. I've had this camera for about two months now and have shot a couple thousand pictures on it in that time. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This camera is not without its limitations but it doesn't claim to be a professional studio camera. It's an entry level SLR and should suit the needs of a knowledgeable amateur quite well.
