Get the type of lens for the shot you need, and a high-capacity memory card so you don't get caught without memory.
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):
I have been taking pictures professionally for about a year and a half now and I needed to upgrade my equipment. I was going to purchase the 5D Mark II, but I felt that it was too big of a leap for me. I have heard great things about the T2i, so I decided to purchase it. I went from an 8 megapixel to the 18 megapixel and I am very happy with the results. The pictures are so much clearer and the fps is much faster. I love the bigger screen. What can I say, I can't put the camera down.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
The T2i uses a great 18.7 megapixel sensor that's similar, but not exactly the same as the one featured in the EOS 7D. The central to the impressive specification of the EOS T2i is a high-spec movie mode which offers full HD capture at up to 30 fps, manual control over exposure, and the option to use an external stereo microphone that I really love. The new camera also inherits the EOS 7D's sophisticated metering system. Canon has pulled out all the stops with the EOS T2i and produced the most highly-specced Rebel ever. Highly recommended product.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I have bought this camera nearly 5 months ago and have had enough time to use it. I use it with Canon 50mm 1.8 lens for landscapes, plants and insects in macro with macrofilter 3x and extension tube Canon 25 II.
It produces excellent images, automatic white balance and autofocus work great.
I shoot in raw and this is great shooting mode.

To list some of the great things about the T2i Rebel camera include its light weight, its easy access to controls, its ability to accept many interchangable lens and its user friendlyness.
I am an owner of a AE1 Program Canon camera which provided super pictures and I put the same trust in all Canon products.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
This camera is super-duper. My Rebel XTi just died a month ago, and I HAD to have another camera. I knew that I wanted a Canon, and since I'm a poor college student, I couldn't afford anything but a Rebel, haha!! But I knew that I would love this one - my friend is a photog, too, and she loved hers. I shot several weddings and portrait sessions with my XTi, and so *anything* would be an improvement!! That thing was old and well-loved. But when my T2i came, there was a world of difference. Not that my XTi wasn't great - it was. But this T2i is epic!! I highly, highly recommend it to anyone except the *highest* of photographers. I still run my business and I'm planning to use my T2i well into the future. =)

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
For any one that put interest in getting excellent pictures, and movie you can do it with this camera. I own Rebel XTi for four years and happy with it. The only thing, it doesn't have a movie mode. So I look around what is the available DSLR that take good quality picture and video. The answer is Canon T2i. Sure you can buy the more expensive body like 5D, 60D , or T3i, but this is the best buy for anyone.

I am a long time Canon user and own several Canon lenses. I looked hard at what camera to buy to upgrade from my Rebel XT.
Bought the T2i and love it. All the features I could ever want. Seems to cover all the space all the way up to professional photographer very well and is the size and weight to allow you to take it everywhere.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I am a p&s girl. Never strayed from one. Until I kept getting tired of missing the shot. I researched cameras, and talked to professionals about which brand and model they recommended. It was a toss-up between Nikon and Canon, and since I had other Canon p&s's, I went with Canon. Then I had to narrow it down to which model. After reading every single review for the T2i and the T3 (which helped immensely), I went with the T2i, because 1...it was in my price range, and 2...it offered what I needed. I take pictures of mostly my children and my horses. And both are known to move quickly!
I opened this box, and immediately started taking pictures without reading the manual. Even the battery had a decent charge to begin with. The manual is not a big help, honestly. I have been watching YouTube videos about the T2i, and how to use it. This helped so much. Folks love to share what they know! I finally ventured off of the "Auto" mode and into "P" land. I still need to learn the ISO and other stuff, but for taking general shots with and without the flash, this camera does the trick. The pictures are clear, and the color is wonderful.
It was interesting concerning the price...I was looking at just the body, and comparing it with the complete camera kit, and by purchasing the body and lens separately, I came out cheaper than buying the entire camera and lens kit together.
Overall, I am so happy with this camera. It's easy to use and learn, and I feel like I've upped my game with it. I haven't picked up my P&S since I got my T2i!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I've had the Rebel T2i for about a month now. Bought it as a replacement for my Rebel XS as a recreational DSLR. I love this camera. It's twice the camera the XS is.
I've used the camera mainly on trips and shooting around my neighborhood and have been nothing short of impressed. Canon's interface is easy to navigate, and shooting in Manual mode is extremely easy and fun. Plus, the price is great. The T2i may not be a 7D, but it sure comes as close as an entry-level camera can. I'd recommend the T2i to anyone.

This is a great DSLR for a beginner. I almost hate to use the term beginner because it really is a fabulous camera. I find it easy to use and lightweight.

Our church purchased this product because we needed a crisper picture from our SD Cannon. We are using it mostly as a quality picture video camera to interview people at our church in hopes to inspirer our community.
The picture (with a quality lens) is spectacular. We couldn't be happier! The sound quality for our videos is really great. Low lighting isn't great... it gets pretty grainy. Also if you are wanting to zoom you will need a quality lens otherwise it's not going to be smooth. But both of those are standard.
Bottom line. Beautiful picture, it's worth it as long as your lens is a good one.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):
I use the T2i for senior and wedding photography. I moved up from Mamiya RB 6x7's and 645's. I will not miss them. WOW! This little camera is great. I bought it to try out digital...thinking if I liked digital I would end up buying a real "pro" model. The T2i is it!
