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.
