Love any Rebel
on July 12, 2012
Posted by: madurorr
from Tucson, AZ and Oxford, OH
I have had three Rebels and each time have enjoyed the newest more than the last. The T2i is a pleasure to own and use. Love it. I think my last Rebel was the XTi and it took photos as nice as this camera but without an HDMI out, etc, etc. Can't go wrong with Rebels. This is my first experience with video (HD) with an SLR and it is awe inspiring as well.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best camera I've ever had!

All my cameras are Canons. There's a reason for that! Canon makes the best, period. And this one is no exception! This is my first DSLR. This camera is very easy to use. The 18 MP is amazing. I didn't know pictures could look this clear and sharp. The colors produced are perfect. I just cannot say enough good things about it. I am not new to photography, just new to SLRs because I am finally able to afford one. And this has a very affordable price tag...yet it takes photos like it's worth a million dollars! You get the picture! LOL! I highly recommend the t2i as an entry level camera!
Pros: everything
Cons: none

Couldn't be happier with this camera
on June 2, 2012

I have been a shutterbug for over 35 years and was an old school 35mm SLR purist. The lack of quality film and processing hassles drove me out of the old school and pushed me into the digital age. I started with a series of point and shoots from assorted manufacturers. I used them to compare image and workmanship quality, features, accessories and value. Canon scored the best for me across the board.
I bought a T2i 550D camera body with EF-S 18-55mm lens package about seven months ago. I also purchased a Canon 55-250mm f/4-5.6 telephoto zoom. Both of the lenses feature image stabilization. I upgraded to a Sandisck Extreme 16 gig memory card. (I also have an 8 gig card, but it just doesn’t have the speed for large format video and bogs the camera down.)
From the beginning I have been very satisfied with camera. The image and video quality are superb. The camera body ergonomics are comfortable and intuitive. The camera and upgraded memory card sync very well. The 18-55mm lens is a great general purpose and portrait lens. The telephoto lens is a solid performer (including when shooting in video mode) and very reasonably priced although its depth of field is somewhat narrow. The balance and ergonomics of the telephoto lens are outstanding for the price and one would have to spend a lot more money to outperform this lens.

The image quality is first rate. Stills and video are crisp, with great color resolution; whether shooting in aperture or shutter priority modes.
Back in the day, Tri-X pan 400 black and white was my favorite film platform. Something that has always disappointed me about digital photography was the quality of monochrome photos. To me, the images had, for lack of a better way to put, a plastic quality. No matter how much digital processing I did, I was never able to re-produce the nuance of Tri-X pan image quality. That was one of the things that turned me off to digital photography. The Rebel has overcome this disappointment. With minimal processing, I can reproduce classic quality black and white images.
I had planned to purchase a new video camera, however the performance of Rebel in video mode makes that a pointless investment.
We recently took cruise. I took over 2,500 still images and shot nearly 4 hours of video. I was pleasantly surprised by the battery life. I was able to shoot all day on a single charge! I shot in every mode the camera is capable of. I used both lenses. Shot in less than ideal conditions. The camera stood up to the abuse and performed reliably and nimbly.
This is one the most satisfying discretionary purchases I have made in years. I’m looking forward to years of fun with this camera. In my opinion, for quality, performance, accessories and value; the T2i punches well above its weight.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, ergonomics make for intuitive operation
Cons: noisy

Fantastic Camera

I purchased my T2i in November of 2010. This is a great camera for the newby to photography or a seasoned pro. I take nature shots as well as sports shots. I have used the sports mode (and no other special settings!) to get some great stop action basketball and football photos. The manual is easy to read and the amount of custom settings is amazing. I would highly recommend purchasing the RF remote; this is a great feature to use when taking group shots and you need to be in the group! The auto focus and stablization on the lenses both work great; no problems. You cannot go wrong with this camera!

T2i still best in class
on December 5, 2012
Posted by: Ann53

Recently I looked hi and low to find a brand new T2i in a local shop. They are getting a little harder to find these days. This will be the third T2i in our household. I use it with the 100-400L lens, so this lens partnered with the 18mp of the T2i allows me to crop some of my shots at 100%. This saves me from needing a longer more expensive lens. I always found the smoother profile of the non adjustable LCD feels better to me and gives my thumb more room to use the controls. I strongly Recommend the T2i.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, smooth rear panel

Perfect

If you want a SLR that is compact in size this is it.
Amazing low light pictures and works with the old manual Canon SLR zoom lenses.
I still prefer this over the T3i. This on is significantly smaller than the 3i.

so far so good. the camera takes great video and pics. everything is sharp and crystal clear, just the way i like it. as a videographer for a school newspaper i need a camera that delivers high quality images, and the t2i does exactly that.
Pros: has many nice features.
Cons: it would be nice if there were another sd slot.
