The Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-135mmf/3.5-5.6 IS 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 Rebel 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 a 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. This kit comes with an image stabilized Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS zoom lens, which has an equivalent focal range of a 28.8 - 216mm lens on a full-frame (24x36mm) 35mm camera.
- 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) Sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor Offer 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 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.
- EOS Movie Mode Has Manual Exposure, Expanded Recording Modes, and Improved Sound Quality.
-
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 in 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 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. Thus, 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 much, much more.
- 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.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
I'm a student who has been using a bad point and shoot for a while and finally decided to get a DSLR. This camera is everything and more. I was considering getting the T3I but this was a better choice. The camera is amazing, lightweight,and very ergonomic. I had to figure out whether to get the 18-55 lens or the 18-135. If you have a little extra money get the 18-135. It is a much better lens and is built much more solidly than the 18-55. That said the 18-55 is still a good lens.

As a video guy finally jumping into the DSLR video world, this is a good camera to get the hang of learning the ins and outs or shooting video with DSLR. Obviously there are more advanced cameras out there that take better pictures and video, but this is a good entry level DSLR to learn with.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
This is a great all around camera for those who just enjoy photography or are quite serious about it. I opted for the longer length lens to have more options and I think it was definitely worth the money difference over the standard kit lens; quality is much higher than the price point.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
This CAMERA takes fabulous photos and the quality in low light is superior however the shutter hesitates too many times before the picture is actually taken.
My use for the camera is to photograph city scenes (including people) for me to paint so, the lag doesn't allow me to capture that moment I'm looking for, it's just too slow.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
Purchased an original EOS Rebel from B&H in 2004 and it's still going strong. But the T2i has many more features that i will make immediate use of - e.g. auto ISO, larger image size (18mp vs 6mp).

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
I love the camera! Would avoid the lens in this kit!
The EOS Rebel T2i is much lighter than my Canon EOS 20D but I upgraded for higher MP and better resolution in large prints. In this I am completely satisfied!
If you are planing to use the LCD "Live View" for most of your picture taking, it slows down the camera's ability to focus. To make this matter worse, The EF-S 18-135mm IS lens included in this kit is even slower and has several times passed the focus point and not returned. I have replaced it with my Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS, from my 20D, and have had a great improvement, but the slower 'live view' has returned me to using the Viewfinder eyepiece.
The LCD is great for checking a picture for adjustments and is very clear when zooming in to spot check a part of a picture for sharpness.
I have only tested the video a few times and find it an okay feature but I wouldn't purchase the camera if I were going to use it mostly for video as the zoom and focus are manual and you may need a tripod to do both at once.
I also purchased the Canon BG-E8 battery grip for extending camera life while on camping trips when electricity for recharging isn't readily available, but AA batteries are.
My wife loves the simple "Full Auto" point and shoot for taking pictures of the kids and I like all the other features that allow me to design a photograph's light, speed, and depth. This camera works great for both of us!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
This is my first D-SLR purchase and after a lot of research, decided to go with the T2i. So far I love the camera and am getting use to the controls. The image quality is great and you really have a lot of control over the processing. I decided to go with the 18-135mm lens because I knew that I'd have to save up for some time to get additional lenses and thought that the extra zoom would keep me busy for a while. Great Camera, Okay Lens perfect starter DSLR with room to grow....I'm glad I picked this camera!

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
I have been a casual family activity & vacation photographer for personal use only. I have been using a Canon PowerShot A710 for several years. Although that camera has done a great job for me, I wanted to make to next step of a better camera to get higher quality pictures with different zoom capabilities. I was nervous about buying a camera that had so many bells and whistles that I could not easily operate, but my new Rebel T2i is amazing! It is easy to use with similar options as far as picture type, but has so much more for me to learn. It is simple enough to use out of the box but will grow with my interest and abilities for years to come!

We were looking for a good Digital SLR since we enjoy taking many pictures. My son has taken this camera to Rome to study architecture and his pictures are wonderful, and easy to use. We already had a cannon compact camera that take good small camera pictures and wanted a new SLR. Very happy with the camera.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
After years of talking about it, I finally moved up from film to digital. I did spend a couple extra bucks for the 18-135 lens. Standard was 18-80 and didn't zoom nearly close enough. Camera is easy to use, has lots of cool features for amatures like myself. Bought an 8Gb card and can take mamy many pics before having to dump them to computer.
First digital camera and having a great experience with it so far.

The picture and color quality is awesome! It takes great low-light photos...Love the camera set-up and features...Have had great results for photoshoots and personal use. Very happy with my decision to go with this camera. So far do not have anything negative to say, besides still getting used to its mechanics. Although, I think that is just me trying to acclimate myself to a new camera.

Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Camera w/ EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens:
This is my first DSLR. My background is in Large and Medium format chemical photography... Overall I love it!! The photos look great... The kit lens seems nice and sharp and focuses quickly. Occasionally in low light I will have a focusing problem and the camera will not shoot, but this is rare. The range of the lens from wide to telephoto is good for most situations. The low light performance seems pretty good even with the kit lens (which is f3.5-f5.6 depending on the lens length) and the image stabilization allows me to hold a longer shutter speed without much blur. This camera uses SD cards for storage, which is wonderful! The menu and shooting modes (There are many) are set-up for photographers who will be using mainly automatic settings (they work very well for the most part), the default "Manual" setting automatically adjusts the ISO... (which freaked me out a little the first time I used it!) This can easily be turned off, giving the photographer full manual control. Once you get the hang of it these settings are relatively easy to change, although the Aperture control is a little awkward. (you have to hold down a button while turning a wheel, they are positioned so it's not hard to do, but still...) I also bought some studio strobes and continuous lighting for stills and video. Big Surprise... No flash Sync on the camera! ordered this: "Nikon AS-15 SYNC TERMINAL ADAPTER - NIAS15" to solve the problem. (Although a radio slave might be a better option) I'm excited to explore the video options of this camera further, have done some tests, which have worked out very nicely, I'll try to add to this review once I've worked with the camera a bit more!
