Canon EOS Rebel T2i CYBER MONDAY, BEAUTIFUL CAMERA!!
Without mincing words or using cheesy metaphors, the simplest way to describe this camera is: The Greatest Basic DSLR Ever.
Unless you are willing to pay through the roof for a full frame camera, Canon Rebels are the perfect choice for all photography needs. You get the rapid fire ability of a DSLR, Live View (essentially a point and shoot camera inside your camera) and now, HD video recording. That being said, if you are buying this camera to use as a full time video camera, keep this point in mind: The T2i has DSLR auto focus, and thus is not very well suited for capturing fast moving objects that need to be in focus constantly (like children, pets or stock cars). This is not the camera you should buy to record precious family moments or take to "the big game."
The biggest problem I have with the T2i is the obsessive drive to buy more cool stuff it inspires. Ironically, the T2i's biggest asset is its price, yet the sheer ability of this camera outpaces all of the equipment that people on a budget could possibly afford. All in all, I find that a rather good dilemma. The T2i can grow with you and, like wine and women, simply gets better with (your) age.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i CYBER MONDAY, Perfect Camera For All Users.
This is my 1st DSLR and I could not be more pleased. Functionality is easy and similar to lower model Canons. I have limited photography experience and I am still able to take amazing pictures. This camera's potential is unlimited unless you are a paparazzi. The 1080p video is stunning. Make sure and get a class 6 or higher SD card with at least 8 GB.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i BLACK FRIDAY
Canon EOS Rebel T2i BLACK FRIDAY, Great camera for pictures
I'm new to DSLRs but have been very happy with this camera so far. For pictures, the quality has been superb and I think I'm now hooked. People keep recommending I get a prime lens so the 50mm 1.4 is my next purchase. In retrospect, it might have been more economical if I'd bought the body only and gotten a lens that was better than the kit lens. The camera has really made me wish I'd taken a course or two on photography in college, now I'm playing catch up. But it's been a lot of fun learning the basics. As for the video, I'd say there are real issues. The video quality is fine, but there is no continuous auto-focus, so you have to keep half-pressing the shutter, and I found the auto-focus in video mode to be pretty slow. And noisy, though that's clearly a lens issue and I haven't tried anything other than the kit lens. And as you may have read, audio quality is somewhat poor. I'm not gonna ding it for any of that, since I bought this for picture taking, not video work. But don't get this if you think it'll help you produce anything other than youtube-type clips. But I still highly recommend this unit.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i BLACK FRIDAY, LOVE IT.
My wife and I have owned Canon cameras for many years. We bought one of the first Rebel's when digital cameras became popular. The great thing was, our old lenses from our 35mm cameras worked with the new digital Canons. This is still true with the T2i, and this is the best Canon camera we have ever owned. The resulting photos are almost unbelievable. We like the way the camera feels and handles. Can't say enough good things about the T2i that is priced right.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i BLACK FRIDAY, Very easy to use and excellent image quality
I resisted getting back into SLR cameras because of the need to buy and change lenses. I shot with a Canon G9 for two years and was very happy with most pictures. Shutter delay was an issue. With the Canon T2i, the standard 18-55mm lens, the 55-250mm zoom, and the addition of a 60mm macro lens (reviewed else where) I feel I have a system that will meet my photo needs well into the future. Shutter delay is almost eliminated and even though I hate to admit it the larger sensor of the DSLR does result in a much cleaner image file making photo editing a breeze. Edge to edge sharpness and less noise in almost every image. Another advantage of the larger sensor is much better image quality in the higher ISO ranges. There is a very noticeable improvement in image quality for those shots you take in dim light, at dusk, or dawn. As for ease of use, there are multiple automatic settings that will allow use of the camera as an advanced point-and-shoot. It is almost impossible to take a bad exposure in the automatic modes. The built in flash is adequate for many indoor lighting needs although many will want to upgrade and the ability to go full manual will unleash all your creative talents. My one and only negative is the lack of metal construction but the use of modern resin materials also reduces the overall weight of the camera so it has a very good balanced feel. I am very happy with this camera purchase and highly recommend the T2i to others wanting to transition to the DSLR world.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i REVIEWS
Canon EOS Rebel T2i First SLR.
This is my first SLR camera and I couldn't be happier. When I took the first picture, immediately You can tell the difference between a point a shot camera and this baby.
Before I bought it, I did a little bit of research on the reviews and all of them pointed to the same direction. Buy it.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Love this camera.
Bought this as a backup to my 7D. Comparable in many ways except not as fast at rapid photos and notas many focus points. Love the high ISO. We live in the Pacific Northwest and it gets dark in winter, particularly in the forest. Using 3200 ISO, no problem with my pictures coming out. Great value. I often use two cameras so as to minimize lens changes and dust issues.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Great Entry level DSLR
takes great pictures and video. if the body was made with metal material, it would make it much more better. be prepared to buy a lot of accessories because you are going to want to do that after having this.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i REALLY AMAZING!
This camera was a replacement for an OLD Olympus E100 RS which I have used for 10years as well as our old Canon FTB and F-1 with all the goodies. So I can honestly say I have been testing this on many and any subject from family indoor stuff,sunsets and flowers, to my high speed shots of our horses and livestock. So far no matter what I have done it has responded with GORGEOUS high rez photos. We have tested the HD Video and find it AWESOME! If you are looking for a lighter weight but still well built camera that can do EVERYTHING this one does it.Having multiple lens and filters enhances what it can do. I find the camera comfortable to handle even while dealing with kids and animals. The photos have been very nice when in Autofocus and great when done manually. For moving targets I do advise AF! Overall for the money one FINE camera!
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Camera Very good.
I have got this product from Amazon. Its really great Camera and the was very happy with the discount from Amazon.
I really like the picture quality. awesome pictures.
The camera is very small and light. It is not weather-sealed or as durable as some of the more expensive SLRs, but it doesn't "feel cheap" in my opinion. It features a 3-inch LCD (compared to the Rebel XS's 2.5 inch screen), which also has a very high resolution. It looks lovely! Auto-focus is fast, and I've been very pleased with the quality of the pictures and videos I've taken so far.
Video capture was decent. It is full 1080, and even though it can do 30p, I think 24p is better. Like many video cameras, the video capture is not so good in lower light (where flash would be used for a still).
The T2I has a very well designed interface. Its roots may have started in the 'starter camera' level, but its also has a full compliment of modes for those who understand how and why shutter speed, aperture, and exposure influence the final image. For a traditionalist such as myself the only limitation (if I might call it that) is in learning to become as quick and intuitive controlling those factors as I became over the years with a shutter speed dial, an aperture ring, and a traditional meter readout.
LCD Screen: Awesome. One of the best LCD's I have seen in DSLR's, prosumers, point and shoot, and mobile phones. Agreed in bright daylight, we are going to have challenges. However, it is the best LCD screen I have seen and one should be able to gauge the picture review even in bright daylight. Any other place, like indoors, overcast sky, etc ... the screen just amazes me with its clarity, and crispness.
Photographically I am impressed and pleased. I did not use the kit lens, but as it was IS, my wife used it with the older Rebel. Images were taken with Canon 50mm 1.4., Tamron superzoom, and Tamron 10-20mm. ALL images were satisfying. Very. I have very limited experience so far with the video, but a few test clips look very good. The ability to attach an external mic is extremely attractive, and other users have great results.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Camera Great SLR Camera.
This is a great camera!!
This is a great camera for those of you thinking about jumping up to an SLR camera from a point and shoot. It is very easy to use. There is definitely a learning curve when learning to shoot in the manual modes. It takes a while to learn what all the numbers and settings do (such as f-stop, aperture, shutter speed, etc., etc.) but it definitely becomes a fun hobby.
Taking video at 1080p is a huge plus and they have fixed the problems that were there with the T1i. The T1i had some problems with the microphone position and recording good quality sound for your videos. However, the new placement of the microphone on the T2i is much better and it seems the problem of the sound has been taken care of.
At this price point, you will be hard pressed to find a better camera.
The quality of the kit lens can be improved. The build quality and image quality leaves a something to be desired under close scrutiny. But again, as this camera is targeted at those people upgrading to an SLR from a point and shoot, the lens is vastly superior to the images you can take with a point and shoot.
Once you become accustomed to photography with an SLR camera, you will likely want to upgrade the lens.
Canon Rebel T2i A definite upgrade
Ditch the kit lens and combine this camera with a 50mm f1/8 or f1.4, and VOILA. Best indoor, low light pictures ever, never have to use the flash, barely noticeable noise. A HUGE HUGE improvement over the Rebel XSi. Can't believe I waited this long to upgrade - don't waste anymore time. Make it work and GET THIS CAMERA!
Canon Rebel T2i Love this camera - worth of money.
I have 2 Point-and-shoot cameras from canon but I want to buy this Rebel T2 and I'm not regret at all. I just have this for couple weeks, love this camera, picture quality is awesome. Video OK too but it takes a lot of space (I don't use this feature anyway, camera is camera not camcoder.
Canon T2i Love it.
This is the best purchase I have made in a long time. You can't ask for a better camera for the price, espcially when bundled with the 18/55 lense. I would highly reccomend this camera to anyone. The still and video qualtiy is exceptional.
Canon T2i Great Camera. Easy to learn too.
After a nice island vacation and hitting the limit of my ageing kodak Z740, I found the need to go SLR. I knew I couldn't afford a pro level unit but also didn't want a bottom line one either. Also wanted video as I do not own a camcorder. Choice came down to the Nikon 3100 and Canon T2i/550d.
After hours upon hours of reviews and articales, I went for the T2i. Seemed that although more expensive, the Canon had more growing room (mostly in the video area).
Have had the camera for three weeks now and have shot 2600 photos. Photographed things from Xmas family portraits, bridges and birds to a dark concert and my dog chasing said birds. Camera performed great in all situations. Low noise if kept under ISO 3200, quick focus even with kit lens (Works real good on servo AF), shutter is fast enough to read the lettering on the tire of a passing truck at 75mph, colors are vivid enough that people have actually noticed and asked if we had a new camera (we have 5 other digital compacts of all makes).
I also love the size and weight. Very travel friendly. Goes in the car with me everywhere.
Yeah its plastic but so is my 9mm and that takes a good beating with out breaking.
My only gripe is the kit lens. Very cheap and noisy. The noise is not just the AF motor. When the zoom ring is turned, there are little clicks and crunching. Has happened since new. Focus ring has some play too. In Af mode, it will focus but if you touch the ring at all, it will move and the focus will be lost. Servo af mode helps with this.
But hey. It works and gets you started.
Overall, VERY happy with this camera.
Now looking for new set of lenses. Let the glass collecting begin!
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Best Price, Excellent!!!
Excellent performance, easy to use. Has large viewing window, with easy understandable operating feature selections. The 18 mpxels allow very detailed results of very minute parts of the image. Perfect for nature photography.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Best Price, GREAT Camera.....Worth the investment!
I bought this camera for my wife in early December. Although it was a little pricey, it was well worth the investment! We used it for the first time over the holidays and the picture quality is outstanding. Still quite a few features that I am trying to figure out but overall very pleased with my purchase. Amazon had the best price that I could find. I would highly recommend!
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Best Buy, Great starter DSLR
For my daughters birthday I got a Canon HG10 digital camcorder to capture videos. For my son's birthday I got the Canon EOS Rebel T2i and I haven't been disappointed with either of my purchases to date. I have had the DSLR for about a week now and still have lots to experiment (play) with. The initial snaps of the children and family have come out crisp and rich in color. The range of the 18-135 lens is great for my current needs.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i Best Buy, Wow!!!
I would really have given this product 4 1/2 stars. It is easily the best camera I have ever owned. It takes good action shots and really clear pictures. I haven't figured out how to crop pictures yet but I am still working on it. The only thing bad is the flash heats up too quickly and it has to cool down which limits your multiple flash taking pictures. But this camera was definitely worth the price I paid for it. And it was the second best rated camera on consumerreports. It was only beaten by one point and the 1st camera costs a thousand dollars more. very good buy this camera.
This is my first SLR camera and I couldn't be happier. When I took the first picture, immediately You can tell the difference between a point a shot camera and this baby.
