As expected, Canon has taken its entry-level DSLR series to new heights. For someone who is looking to step up from a point and shoot camera, the Rebel T2i is very enticing. It also provides a gentle learning curve with very basic settings, while offer...
Excellent detail and resolution (especially in raw mode), Lovely new LCD screen - the 3:2 format really makes a difference, Capable, flexible AF system in both phase-detection and live view modes, High-spec video mode, including external microphone jack, Highly intuitive operation, refined ergonomics, Fast and responsive operation (although shooting in raw mode slows things down), Very reliable
Auto Lighting Optimizer's effect is subtle to the point of being unnoticeable, No rear control dial (as found on higher-end Canon bodies), Entry-level ergonomics won't suit everyone (the EOS 50D and 7D just feel nicer), No in-camera raw conversion option, Slightly soft JPEG output at default settings (but this is far from unusual), Chroma noise takes a fairly big chunk out of resolution at ISO 12
As I mentioned in the introduction to this review, Canon has pulled out all the stops with the EOS 550D, and has delivered the most highly specified Rebel-series DSLR we've ever seen. In practice, the camera does not disappoint, and in all respects it...
Abstract: We've seen plenty of the headline 1080p / 30fps video mode on the Rebel T2i, but what's been missing till now are the equally comprehensive reviews of this new 18 megapixel shooter's other talents. Starting off with image quality -- still the bread and bu...
The Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i is a solid mid-range camera whose main virtue is that it allows you to capture incredibly detailed photos without ever getting in the way or spoiling the fun of picture taking. Surely enough, it doesn't have the robust ...
Top-notch images. 18-MP resolution. Low noise levels through ISO 3200. Largest and sharpest LCD available on a D-SLR. Multiple HD video-capture modes. Manual exposure control available during video capture. Compatible with SDXC memory cards. HDMI-CEC supp...
Video recording is not as intuitive as with a dedicated camcorder. Frames-per-second capture is slower than the competition.
The Canon EOS Rebel T2i pumps out beautiful pictures and boasts full-featured 1080p video recording options that were previously only available with D-SLRs twice its price....
High resolution 18 Megapixel stills, Adjustable HD resolution and fps with mic input, Superb high resolution screen with 3:2 shape, Confident 63-zone metering system from 7D.
Modest 3.7fps shooting and small RAW buffer, Screen fixed in position, unlike several rivals, Average 9-point AF system and viewfinder, Compelling rivals if you don't care for 1080p movies.
Canon's EOS 550D / Rebel T2i continues the company's tradition of filtering-down features from a higher-end model into a more affordable body. As such, the 550D / T2i enjoys the same high resolution photos and flexible movie modes of the 7D, not t...
Abstract: Overall, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D's image quality is excellent. I don't have any complaints - especially for the price of the camera...
Abstract: With a definition of 18 MP, the Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i competes with her more expensive sister-competitor. This advanced DSLR includes a 1920 x 1080 full-HD video mode, efficient Live View, an impressive number of settings and functions and is ded...
Abstract: The Rebel T2i is one of the best consumer level DSLR cameras on the market. It is lightweight, with the ability to capture incredibly detailed pictures with minimum fuss. It has many of the features that its bigger brother, the Canon 7D offers, but at...
