The Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) incorporates a number of advanced pro DSLR features in a compact, and very affordable camera body. Driven by a DIGIC 4 image processor, the T2i contains a high-resolution 18.0 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, and can capture JPEGs, RAW (14-bit, Canon original), or RAW+JPEG stills at burst rates of up to 3.7 frames-per-second. The EOS Reel T2i can also capture Full 1080p HD video with monaural sound, or stereo sound when using (optional) 3.5mm external microphones.
In addition to the camera's bright eye-level optical reflex viewfinder, the Rebel T2i also features Advanced Live View (with dedicated Live view/Movie button) for composing and editing your stills and video using the T2i's 3.0" Clear View LCD, which contains a whopping 1.04 million dots of resolving power.
Additional image enhancing tools include Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone, which further improve detail in the highlight, mid-tone, and shadow areas in both stills and videos. As you'd expect there's also a 3-point Dust Deletion System and the option of shooting in either sRGB or Adobe RGB.
Videophiles will appreciate the Rebel T2i's Improved EOS Movie mode that allows for full manual exposure control, expanded recording 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 1280 x 720 (HD), 60p (59.94) / 50p, 640 x 480 (SD), 60p (59.94) / 50p), Movie Crop recording in 640 x 480, and an external microphone IN terminal for improved sound quality.
An enhanced 63-zone dual-layer metering system and a 9-point AF system featuring a precision f/2.8 cross-type center point enable rapid focusing and accurate exposures. For low-light shooting, the Rebel T2i features an ISO range of 100-6400, which can be expanded to an equivalent of 12800 when necessary, and there's a Quick Control Screen that enables easy access to frequently used settings.
The Canon EOS Rebel T2i records imagery onto a choice of SD memory card, SDHC memory card, or SDXC Memory Cards and powers off an LP-E8 lithium-ion battery, which is good for up to 550 still exposures or 1 hour and 40 minutes of video recording. The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S optics.
- 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) Sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for High Image Quality and Speed.
-
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops. This first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies as used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).
The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS Rebel T2i's camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T2i's CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of performance in nearly any situation.
- ISO 100-6400 (Expandable to 12800) for Shooting from Bright to Dim Light.
- The EOS Rebel T2i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an ISO rating up to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities abound. Combine the EOS Rebel T2i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both movies and stills expand even further.
- Movie Mode Has Manual Exposure Control, Expanded Recording, and Movie Crop Recording
- Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS Rebel T2i features HD Video capture technologies - manual exposure control for more creative control, for example - borrowed directly from professional Canon SLRs to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with an SLR. By shooting video with the EOS Rebel T2i, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of the creative features native to SLR cameras. Along with its manual controls, the EOS Rebel T2i allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout with its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions. In a first for EOS cameras, a Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality movie (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular shooting. Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS Rebel T2i's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 (59.94) fps). The EOS Rebel T2i has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone.
- Enhanced iFCL 63-Zone, Dual-Layer Metering System and 9-Point AF System
- The EOS Rebel T2i features Canon's newest Dual-layer sensor, with 63 zones. By measuring not only the amount of light, but also taking into account color and luminosity, this new system delivers a very high level of accuracy for better results every time. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T2i gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as sports on a cloudy day, or indoor holiday scenes. Additionally, the EOS Rebel T2i has a high-precision, 9-point AF system utilizing a high-precision, f/2.8 cross-type center point. The 9-point AF system uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually selected.
- Wide 3.0-Inch (3:2 Aspect Ratio) Clear View LCD Monitor (1.04 Million Dots) for Improved Viewing.
- The EOS Rebel T2i has a high-resolution 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor that features 1.04 million dots/VGA for spectacular detail. It also has the same aspect ratio (3:2) as the camera's sensor, making for clear and easy Live View composition. An anti-reflective and water-repellant coating provides a clearer and more smudge-resistant surface and screen brightness can be adjusted in 7 steps in accordance with ambient light.
- Quick Control Screen Button for Easy Access to Frequently Used Settings
- The EOS Rebel T2i's refined button layout includes a dedicated button that directs the camera immediately to the Quick Control screen, where it's simple to navigate among any number of settings, including ISO, Exposure and Flash Exposure compensation, drive mode, white balance, image quality and more.
- Improved Layout With Dedicated Live View/Movie Shooting Button
- Without the need to navigate through a bunch of menus, the EOS Rebel T2i transitions effortlessly between still and movie mode. By pressing the Live View/Movie button, a situation that had required menu access with other cameras, still images can change to a movie shoot and vice versa. It's literally as simple as the press of a button.
- Compatibility With SDXC Memory Cards, Plus Menu Status Indicator for Eye-Fi* Support
-
The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with both SDXC memory cards for greater storage capacity and with Eye-Fi SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T2i can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.
*Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including wireless transfer. In case of an issue with the Eye-Fi card, please consult with the card manufacturer. The use of Eye-Fi cards may not be available outside the United States and Canada, please contact the card manufacturer for territory availability.
- 3.7 FPS Continuous Shooting Up to Approximately 34 JPEGs or Approximately 6 RAW
- The EOS Rebel T2i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up to approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution JPEGs. Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T2i can capture even rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease.
- Compatible With the Full Line of Canon EF and EF-S Lenses
- The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like the Canon Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses helps to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light. With a dizzying array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T2i with superlative Canon optics.

This is TECHNICALLY, a rebel in size, shape, composition, etc., but don't let that fool you. The T2i is a wonderful piece of D-SLR equipment, either as a backup to a more professional camera (7D, 1D series, etc.) or as a first D-SLR for someone who either came from point and shoots, or from Film SLRs (I'm the latter). However, when I saw my first photos from Central Park, I was blown away by not only the resolving power of the camera, but also the quality of pictures even at 1600 ISO speeds, with 3200 being completely usable. There isn't much noise at these two levels; levels that were pro-territory just 3 years ago, and that will be a great surprise to those coming from small-sensor point and shoots, where such high ISOs result in noise.
As this is a camera that can shoot at 18MP JPG and do basic RAW (18MP), this is not a camera that will suffer low capacity or low-speed SD cards. To really get the best out fo it, a quality (ie: sandisk extreme class 6 or higher, or hoodman class 6 or higher) card would serve the camera well for functions such as 1080p recording, or for those times one wants a very long burst of photos. JPGs in Large / Fine are 5 to 8 MB each, and RAW Files are 25MB and up. You get a LOT of detail from this camera, and 11 x 17 shots at 300dpi are a reality. The Buffer is small relative to the 18MP / shot and 3.7 fps the camera is capable of... thus making a fast card all the more important. (NB: This camera IS compatible with upcoming SDXC cards, so it will be able to hit MUCH higher write speeds in the future)
A note of warning: the "kit" lens (i got mine separate) of 18-55 does not do this camera justice; there is just so much sensor resolution that it's not a bad idea to invest in the 18-135, or if finances permit, the 17-55 f/2.8 or the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM. Be forewarned, the sensor has a 1.6x crop, so any EF lens you put on needs to be multiplied by 1.6 (ie: 50mm lens on a full-frame = 80mm on this camera). You won't lose f-stops though in the crop, so it will still be the marked f-stop on the lens.
Nothing bad to report, loving this camera, looking forward to procuring more lenses for what is a baby 7D (it even has the DIGIC 4 processor!)

I really wanted to like this camera. It takes wonderful photos. However, certain issues were dealbreakers for me. First, I got the "oil-flinged-from-the-mirror-to-the-sensor" problem. Canon officially acknowledged this problem for their top models. Also, the manual indicates it can happen on rare occasions. I'm not happy about that. Second, there's the overheating issue and it's annoying red icon in the screen. Probably, not a problem if you limit the use of Live View and the Video features. Live View isn't useful if I can't use it for extended periods of time for the kind of work I do. Perhaps I'm being too harsh but I'm comparing the T2i with my old Canon, which is trully a workhorse camera: works nonstop for hours without overheating issues or other problems. I wouldn't mind some sort of cooling system grip even if it makes the T2i bulkier or requires more batteries. Finally, the T2i body feels fragile. The battery door looks really flimsy. There's the possibility of digital pellix cameras coming out soon which would mean less moving/mechanical parts and perhaps a more reliable Live View. I might wait for that.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
In the fast changing digital world this older technology is still a great value. The movable screen on the 3Ti seemed a little vulnerable. This is too much of an investment in the short interval to better technology or when my use requires a better body ( One rebel ago I had a 20D which I loved until it got fungus on sensor when I lived in tropics)

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
After traveling for nearly seven months through South America with only my Canon Powershot 200 IS, I decided to upgrade my gear before starting my trip through South East Asia. The T2i will be my primary camera during this trip and afterwards.
The learning curve on this camera is very small. Thankfully I was already relying on Manual mode shooting on my Powershot before purchasing this DSLR, so I was already familiar with the basic setup. After navigating through the main screen everything else is a cinch.
So far I don't think I am an advanced enough user such that the camera is limiting my capacity to do anything that I want. I'm sure in due time I will hit a wall, but that is definitely not the case yet.

I love this camera! It is so easy I use it everyday, the nice thing about this one is that you get professional photos without actually having to be a professional photographer, and trust me if youve got kids, family, pets etc. you'll want to have this good quality high durability camera by your side at all times!!! Then you too can be getting high quality photos, but seriously don't be surprised when you go down to pick up your prints and they ask you for a release form!! Its that good!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I have been working with Canons and researching them for a while now and the biggest thing I found out while trying to decide which Canon to buy was the Canon EOS T2i vs Canon EOS 7D argument. Well The T2i is the best as far as price. The 7d has a better build but the picture quality is better on the T2i just barley (not enough to tell the difference buy looking at a photo side by side) The 7D has more FPS (Frames per second) then the T2i. The T2i has a brighter screen and better resolution then the 7D. In a nut shell if your are set on FPS and a weatherproof body then the 7D would be your go to camera but both camera's are great for HD video shooting so for anyone that's interested in film, music videos, documentaries then the T2i is a great camera to have. The T2i and 7D both get hot after filming for 45 minutes straight in 720p or 1080p but still not a huge deal for me at least, the main reason I say choose the T2i over the 7D is the fact that they have the same Censor in them so why spend $1500+ for the same camera ?

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I bought this as a second body to use along with my 50d. So far I'm quite pleased with the image quality. I use L lenses so that's a big part of it, but even with a Sigma 150-500 they are sharp and clear. So far I've only played with the video, but I'm looking forward to exploring more while on vacation this summer.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
Camera has many of the features of the larger 7D, although without additional firmware is not nearly as customizable.
Although not as durably built as 1/5/7D cameras, this is MUCH smaller and lighter, which has its advantages.
The scroll wheel from the upper level cameras is missed, but once you learn the button combos to get the same effects, it's not so bad.
Great for use with small lenses and a small rig for handheld footage, fitting into tight shooting locations (cars, etc.).
If Canon made this camera with a full frame sensor instead of APS-C, I think the 5D would be in real trouble. Compares very well with 7D and has some distinct advantages with lighter weight and smaller size, although many fewer options with customized ISO/WB etc.
Overall, great value for the price.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
Simply put...buy at T2i!
Everyone thinks the latest and greatest is what you need, but really this is the same as the T3i with the exception for the LCD (T3i flips out).
To upgrade to a better model in the Canon line, you have to go up $300 to start seeing minimal improvements (not on the sensor or noticeable quality differences) but rather in frames per second. To get a noticeably better camera in build and quality pics you have to spend around $2000 or more.
Get this model (w/out the standard 18-55mm lens) and use that money to get a better lens that will fit your needs.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I think this is probably the best camera I have ever owned. It is low in price but high in features and quality. Features are comparable to a higher priced Canon camera. To anyone who is considerimg a high quality Canon camera, take a look at this one, you won't regret it. I haven't.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I use this camera for video and am very pleased with the image quality and control you get with this dslr. From what I gathered from my research is that ths camera has the same sensor as the 7d and the quality of the video footage is Identicle to that of the 7d. If you are just looking to do video then save yourself the $ and get this camera and spend the savings on a lens.I use a sigma 30mm 1.4 lens, great fast lense for video for those shallow DOF shots.
