The Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II 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.

Ele opera junto com o Sensor de Imagem CMOS da EOS Rebel T2i para a obtenção de níveis de performance surpreendentes em praticamente todas as situações.
Junto com seus controles manuais, a EOS Rebel T2i permite o uso por completo das lentes Canon EF e EF-S, incluindo Macro e Olho de Peixe, fornecendo uma gama de opções de operação que eram restritas à fotografia.

As a photography student, yearbook photographer, and someone using the T2i as a tool to make money, I am very happy with it. If you are new to buying a DSLR like I was, you may be weighing the T2i against other models like the Nikon D7000 or D3100. After a ton of research and some conversations with professional photographers, I found that the real difference between Nikon and Canon users seems to be brand bias. Of course, there are different applications for the cameras, for example the faster shutter burst speed on the Nikon D7000 makes it better suited for fast action photography. It appears, however, that the T2i is the most versatile for its price. The D3100 is comparable to the T2i in price, but is inferior in its specifications, while the D7000 is comparable in its specifications but at $500 more the small step up in ability seems over-rated. The T2i is a incredible value, with the highest resolution in picture quality and display. High resolution isn't everything, but when using the T2i to make money it is great to be able to print larger photos and have the ability to crop while maintaining high resolution.Some (supposed) Negatives: 1. The T2i has a plastic body. Some see this as a downside, but I don't think the metal Nikons are any more durable. I have dropped the camera from four feet onto pavement and it only has two small chips on the surface. The plastic is uncommonly durable, it seems like a completely different kind than electronics are usually made of. 2. The mode wheel has scene modes (presets) and doesn't rotate 360 degrees. I guess for professionals the presets are insulting on a camera this expensive, but I don't see how that makes sense. The presets are actually really accurate and useful if you don't feel like adjusting on manual for a quick shot or if you just want something reliable and quick. 3. Button locations. This is really just a preference, like I prefer the shutter dial near my thumb the way it is on my Nikon N70, but it's just an adjustment and not actually anything bad. 4. Auto focus in Live View. Using Live View is fun to mess around, but the focus is too slow and often inaccurate to take action shots or even portraits. There is a setting that allows focus through the 9 point system, but the shutter must close to focus which confuses people (about when the picture is done) and still ends up taking longer to get the shot. Auto focus without Live View however is extremely fast, easy and accurate. 7. Loud Shutter. The shutter on the T2i is one of the loudest i've heard. This isn't a problem unless the noise disrupts a subject (animal or something), which I haven't experienced yet, though I have shot animals and they seemed not to notice. People can easily hear the shutter from at least five feet away, which is why Live View auto-focus, as mentioned above, is confusing to subjects. 6. Upgrade from the T1i? A common criticism of the T2i is that it is barely an upgrade from its predecessor. While this is kind of true, The improvements are noticeable, especially in the screen quality, video fps and iso. Also the ability to plug in an external stereo microphone is essential to anyone interested in film -making (the built in mic picks up every movement in the lens and an unbearable amount of wind). Overall, this camera is incredible. It's applications are extremely versatile, with the one exception being fast action photography. The T2i takes great sports photos, but it's on the slow side of DSLR's, meaning you might not catch the right moment. Everything else is wonderful; the T2i has superior video, indoor/ low light, portrait abilities, screen resolution, brightness and viewing angle, and overall is an incredible shooting experience. In all, the T2i performs excellently in almost any situation or application.

Cheap to buy for a Video DSLR. Images are excellent at low ISO's, but video falls apart over 800 ISO.
The best way to start if you just don't have the cash.
This is a great B cam for event video, but it lacks many professional features. The most important missing feature is full ISO control. You have access only to 100, 200, 800, 1600, 3200 and 6400. And anything over 800 looks pretty lousy.

This camera is the best Ive seen for its price. I know people who have cameras that were similarly priced and are very jealous of the quality of the picture I get on this camera. Its very easy to use. I had the film version of the Rebel originally, which I loved, and this lived up to if not surpassed my expectations

This is my first camera and so far it has been great. The selection of basic functions are very easy to use and self explanatory. Then you have the creative settings, which are very adjustable towards to creative shot you are trying to capture. I am still getting used to these settings. They are very easy to play around with, as I find that the best way to learn how to use them. The quality of photo's are amazing. Better than what I was expecting!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II:
I am an amateur photographer who recently made the jump from a point and shoot to a dSLR. I had been reading reviews, comparing prices, and waiting for almost a year and half before choosing the T2i, and I am so happy with it.
The kit lens that came with this bundle is a great fit for someone (like me) who wasn't sure about different lens types and sizes. It's a solid everyday use lens.
I bought the camera specifically to take HDR photos. It has a 5 f-stop range, but seems to only allow -+2 on auto expsoure bracketing. I find this is perfect for me, but I don't know if other cameras allow for a greater AEB range.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II:
This is my first DSLR. Even though changing lenses can be a little bit of a hassle after being so used to a point and shoot, the quality of the pics is awesome. I like having control over the focus and zoom. I still have a lot to learn about what this camera can do, but so far, I am very happy with the shots that I'm getting. Other minor things I like - very quick processing between shots, quicker focus, shutter button is much easier and smoother to use and doesn't mess up my shot when I press it, lenses are fairly easy to switch between (just takes a little more time than the point and shoot), and for the most part, it's fairly user friendly for a first timer.
I use my camera for nature photography and at local music events. I did get a second battery to keep up with the amount of time I have the camera on/in use. My only issue so far, is some of the video I took had multiple colored lights flashing throughout and the quality of the picture of the video diminished considerably in the red light. I'm fairly certain there is something I can do about that in the settings, but I still have to play with them.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II:
The last time I had, and used, a camera of this caliber was during my undergrad film class. I have gotten by since using point and shoot cameras that had a manual setting to get the pictures I wanted. The last point and shoot recently died, and I needed a new camera for the new baby on the way. It had to take good pictures, it had to take video, and it had to be easy to use for my wife to be comfortable working with it.
We've had the camera (and the baby) for about a week and both are working out very well. The camera has a ton of features (including video), makes excellent photos, and yet simple enough to hand over to my wife. The hi ISO values give great photos in low light, the photo resolution is phenomenal, and large LCD makes it very easy to see if you have good picture.
Other than that the automatic settings are a bit bright (it loses some detail in the highlights). The body feels plastic-y, and a little small. The rubber grips help combat this, but I have somewhat large hands. The switch to video is fine, just at the other end of the dial from where I typically shoot.
All in all - an excellent camera that has room to grow.

I use this product mainly for shooting artwork so I have studio conditions in which to do this. This is a great camera packing a lot of pixels and good colour representation into a small package. I recommend buying a 3rd party shutter release and a wide angle lens with a lower f stop.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II:
LEVEL OF FAMILIARITY: amateur / intermediate
USES: landscapes, urban/nature, people (esp. a baby), food (blog),
PROS: after reading the manual I felt like this was a camera I could handle which speaks well to its actually being "entry level"; the automatic features are nice for when you want the camera to think for you (not a dig-- taking care of that opens the photographer up to think about other elements of taking the photo) while the manual features give varying level of control for experimenting; excellent image quality in most (except especially dark) lighting situations; continuous shooting mode is a delight and quite quick, though flash slows it down a bit; optional live view; superb image quality
CONS: plastic body feels cheap; sometimes the auto-focus cannot keep up with how quickly I'm taking photos; hidden underneath the upfront cost are the ENDLESS accessories that will improve image quality-- e.g. external flash (as is evident by all the "informational" booklets that come inside the box along with the camera)
SUMMARY: I'm very excited to be getting my feet wet with a dSLR and glad to have put a little extra money towards an entry-level model. I considered going with the most basic that Canon has to offer (the T3), but I read so many reviews warning there was better out there that I finally settled on the T2i. The "pros" definitely outweigh the "cons" and I'm happy so far with my purchase. I would definitely recommend it to anyone getting wanting to get further into photography-- looking for more freedom, versatility, higher-end technology, and learning opportunities than any point-and-shoot models can accommodate!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS II:
I have been waiting for this camera for 2 years even after the t3i came out, I still wanted the t2i. So my dad bought it for me for christmas of 2011. I already knew canon was an amazing brand due to my other canon cameras and nothing is comparable. I took my t2i to a christmas get-together and everyone wanted my camera and everyone was so amazed at the clarity of the photos and the quality. It takes photos super fast which benefits people like me who can't catch "moments". And I MUST mention the amazement I felt when I took a photo with the light off in my room with my tiny tv on and the photo came out as if it was daylight in my room, therefore the low-light shots are crazy amazing! It's overall the best camera I've ever owned and I honestly wouldn't choose anything else!
