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):

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 upgraded my "backup" body from an XTi to the T2i, purchased from B&H. I'm ecstatically happy with the decision. Imagine quality is outstanding (and in many ways rivals that of my 5D MkII), the HD video is terrific, and Canon has added lots of other nice little touches since my XTi came out. With the lower price since the T3i came out, the T2i is probably the best value in DSLRs available. I adore it. Have used it on 6 professional jobs so far, and haven't found anything about it to gripe about. If you get one, get the battery grip...it makes it much easier to handle and more well balanced.

          Moved up from P&S to this unit after considering several other (D3100/D5100, Sony A55).
          I am new and still learning but really happy with my choice - not just becasue of the quality of pictures but also how easy and intiutive I find this camera to be. Based on the many reviews on the internet, I was reassured that it will provide great pictures and a lot in terms of learning as I get more into this hobby. So technically, the one choice I had to make was around ergonmics, menu, ease of use etc...
          I played with friend's D90 and didn't have the same feeling for the Nikon.
          Battery lasts good amount of time, but I don't have a good reference point.
          Great placement of all important settings/ buttons

          I feel like I will very quickly get my skills up from casual to enthusiast photographer with this camera.

            Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

            I was upgrading from a 20D. Much of the operation is similar - enough is different to require some reading of the (well laid out) manual.

            The biggest disappointment was the video operation. The manual says that you need a class 6 of higher SDHC card. I purchased two class 10 PNY cards from two sources and neither will keep up with the data rate. I keep getting a buffer low indication on the screen, followed with a "Movie recording has been stopped automatically" message. Said message is NOT covered in the manual and it took me three days of testing to sort this out. In all fairness, I've been too stressed to spend the time yet to contact B&H and see if I have a defective body.

                I'm a professional filmmaker and use this for nearly every shoot. I initially bought the 5D, after comparing the results with the T2i I found nearly no difference and traded the 5D for 2 T2i's. The HD video is superb and the video and photo options built into the camera are so powerful it makes color correcting in post a thousand times easier. I would recommend this to any filmmaker in search of a reasonably priced, professional result product.

                Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

                I am a beginner in the DSLR field, and I have found this camera to be extremely accessible and pretty easy to use and figure out. I am still learning about the different settings and ways to shoot a picture, but I can tell that I'll be able to do everything that I want with this camera.

                I love the bright display and the picture quality. The menus are clear and easy to use and maneuver around. I love the weight and body of the camera.

                One thing that isn't so great is when switching from a picture to a video, there is a lot of movement required on the settings wheel - it only turns one way, so that makes it a little difficult to get to a different setting quickly.

                  This is a great camera. Now that I had it for a couple of months and used it in several different conditions I can say that it works well in all of them including low light. It has more options then I will ever use, it is fast and so far have not missed a shot. Find battery life more then adequate having shot upwards of 300+ pictures at one time.

                    Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

                    Photography challenges in our house have been fast moving, action, low light situations and images. Specifically, dancers at varying light levels (recitals, routines inside a school gymnasium, football games with light transition to night). I have outstanding images from my Canon Rebel XT, with over years of practice, but the few shots I was able to get out of hundreds do not compare to the abilities I have already seen with my Canon T2i. The T2i results are so remarkable specifically for low light situations, it was highly recommended from another avid photographer after witnessing the difference this camera made in the same challenge situations (gymnastics). Highly recommend this camera body. It was stated to me side by side, one would not be able to discern my photograph, from those taken professionally of same event and images.

                            I am a professional photographer, and educator. I was looking for the right camera for my 15 year old daughter, for her birthday. The Canon EOS Rebel T2i was the perfect choice because of its state of the art features, quality and ease of use. She is already an excellent photographer and shoots with her new Canon almost daily. I would highly recommend this camera.

                              Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

                              This is my first digital camera and I wish I had purchased it years ago. I am a very amateur photographer but the camera makes professional photos. Don't be confused by all the settings on the dial. It is really easy to use. Just read the book, become familiar with what it is capable of and shoot away. Very easy to use and take high quality photographs. The included software make printing very easy. I love this camera. Thanks B&H !!!!

                              I upgraded from an XT and I love it thus far. I'm a photography student and basically it meets all my needs. I wish f stops had their own one button rather than first having to press that button and then scrolling left or right.
