Whether you're new to the world of DSLRs, or are a seasoned photographer who wants to try your luck at video, the Canon Rebel T2i is perfect. I've had nothing but great experiences with it so far, and highly recommend to everyone.

Other than the T2i, I own (and primarily shoot with) the Rebel XS (1000D), and also have extensive experience with the Canon 50D. While my XS still serves me very well, I wanted to get an SLR with video capabilities since the release of the T1i. After finally saving up enough for the T1i, I really lucked out that Canon announced the T2i, which has even better features! I am lucky enough to finally have it, and want to share my experiences, and how they compare to my expectations

The camera is very small and light. It is not weather-sealed or as durable as some of the more expensive SLRs, but it doesn't "feel cheap" in my opinion. It features a 3-inch LCD (compared to the Rebel XS's 2.5 inch screen), which also has a very high resolution. It looks lovely! Auto-focus is fast, and I've been very pleased with the quality of the pictures and videos I've taken so far.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i IMAGE QUALITY: I feared that cramming so many megapixels onto this sensor, there would be a lot of image 'noise' (the megapixel myth). This thankfully hasn't been an issue, and I've been very pleased with the pictures taken with this camera! Aside from White Balance issues (see below, Cons), image quality is pretty good!

VIDEO: Some people have disparagingly said that Video on DSLRs is just a gimmick. I disagree. Based on sample clips I'd seen on YouTube, I was excited about getting an HDSLR, and while videos are sometimes shaky if you don't have very steady hands, a tripod eliminates those concerns.

First, I have an extensive background in both photography and video. I was looking for a smaller camera to carry around that could also shoot video. When I heard about this one I thought it would be perfect and it is good, very good BUT its does have its issues... I will try to keep this short and to the point.

Our daughter loves her new camera - and that's all that matters to us!! Her college sophomore son is trying to guilt her out of it - but she's not about to cave on this one!! 

I can say that The Canon Eost Rebel T2i is impresive camera, special for beginers... because all the qualities of this are realy thankful. In good light condition it makes impresive pictures(special in in RAW Format) but in low light condition it needs another obective with better aperture, for example 50mm 1.4 aperture. Video mode is amazing, even in low light condition. About the memory card: I advice you to buy an Lexar 32 GB or Sandisk Extreme 32 GB because I have two 16 GB Lexar Profesional and Sandisk Extreme. and it is not enought for long sesion in RAW mode, so you decide what you need ! The battery is more than beautiful, I made also many pictures in diferrent condition with flafh and without, shortly- verry good battery life. So if you want to begin with better, choose this one but for the lowest price bicose you will need another obectives ! 

The camera came quickly and was well packed. It works perfectly! The zoom lens is really awesome....... it is small but mighty! A great camera and lens that takes perfect pictures.

I was misled by the ad, though. It said I qualified for a bundle that was a really good special, for the same price. The bundle included a memory chip and a camera bag. Apparently I did something wrong when I ordered, because no bag or memory chip was included. I had to purchase both items. I'm not sure what I had to do to get the bundle, because the offer was right there with the camera. That was why I bought this particular camera from this particular dealer. The price was great because of the bundle. That being said........... my son loves the camera!  

This camera is very easy to use and takes great pictures! You definitely need the telephoto zoom lens to able to take pictures from far away. I am amazed how clear the picture is and the coloring is right on! I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this camera to my family and friends!
