Abstract: The Canon Digital Rebel T2i (known as the EOS 550D outside the USA) is Canon's most recent addition to their "entry level" DSLR lineup. It's an upgrade of the Digital Rebel T1i, though Canon haven't discontinued the T1i so as of right now the Digita...

Abstract: Canon's Rebel T2i is an incredible camera—everything a first DSLR should be. It takes fantastic photos (and, crucially, video) for the price, it's easy to use, and perhaps most importantly, it's a camera you can grow with.AdvertisementBut there's no shame...
Imagestabilized kit lens. Threeinch 3:2 aspect ratio LCD with a slightly greater viewing angle than the old version. Dedicated Live View/Movie Record button. Quick Control Screen. External microphone jack. Quicktime H.264 video format. SD memorycard slot handles speedy SDXC memory cards. AV output and HDMI connections. Video in 1080p at 30 and 24 fps; 720p at 60 fps, 640 x 480 at 60 fps and VGA
Lack of quick control wheel (you have to get Canon's 7D or a higher model to have one). Bothersome autofocus assist flash. Build quality not as robust as feature set.
The T2i is a great success and a great value. I know I’m biased as a Canon shooter, but I think it really is the best value on the market right now for an all-purpose imaging device. Stills are excellent, video is fun. As long as you are aware of the ...
Abstract: Just six months after Canon wowed us with the video capability of its EOS 7D, along comes the EOS Rebel T2i—with the same movie-making prowess at less than half the price. And this 18MP DSLR ($800, street, body only; $900 with 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 EF IS l...
Very good photo quality, Excellent high ISO performance, especially considering the 18 Megapixel resolution of the camera, Compact body, welldesigned body, Ultrahigh resolution 3inch LCD with 3:2 aspect ratio, Fast startup, focus, shottoshot times, Full manual controls, with support for RAW image format, RAW format supported; good editing software included, Full HD movie recording with full manua
JPEGs are soft at default settings; good lenses needed for best results, Redeye a problem; no way to remove it in playback mode, Small right hand grip not for everyone, LCD outdoor visibility could be better, Sluggish contrast detect autofocus in live view, Continuous shooting mode could be better, Very basic playback mode, Wireless flash control would've been nice
Canon's Digital Rebel models have always been the leaders in the entry-level D-SLR category, and that tradition continues with the EOS Rebel T2i. This 18 Megapixel camera features excellent photo quality (even at high ISOs), a compact, well-designed b...

Fast performance; excellent photo quality; above average video-capture quality
Annoying viewfinder, irritating control layout for video capture
A great follow-up to the T1i, if you want the best photo and video quality in a dSLR for less than $1,000, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is hard to beat.
Abstract: When Canon unveiled its T2i camera earlier this year, amateur photographers like myself got pretty excited. Sure, last year's T1i was an affordable DSLR with video recording, but the T2i looked like it was actually getting it right, promising better vi...
