The Canon Rebel T2i (aka 550D) is a home run for Canon Cameras.
The
Canon Rebel T2i entry level digital SLR is receiving rave reviews almost everywhere in the photography world. It is being identified as the greatest sub-$1000 camera now available to buy.
What on earth is all the buzz about? Why is this little camera getting just about all the headlines in the photography culture?
There has not been a poll taken about this, but it seems that the set of features of the new Rebel is just like another recent release in the Canon line-up, the 7D, at approximately one-half the price.
There ARE reasons for the price discrepancy, but unless you are an extremely discerning expert, it would be tough to tell the discrepancy in images and video relating to these two digital SLR cameras.
Probably the greatest reason for obtaining a new Canon Rebel T2i is for the pleasure that comes from the picture taking experience. The ease of making use of the controls to command your digital camera to snap the exact photo you want. Whether you want to manage the depth of field or get a great action shot of your favorite sport, it is doable with this fantastic Dslr camera.
And how about this.. No more waiting around for the digital camera to make up its mind to finally "snap" the photo, seemingly an eternity after you pressed the shutter button.
Digital SLR customers are really thrilled about the addition of video. And in the Canon Rebel T2i, the quality of the video output is vastly superior. Video is a comparatively new addition to DSLR cameras, and the first few cameras that had video did not do it that well. Today, with the 550D video has attained a stage that is rather impressive. Point and shoot camera owners who have held out from getting a DSLR camera because of the absence of video are now finding a persuasive reason to finally upgrade.
Another improved element is the low light picture capability. Digital SLR cameras have always had the capacity to create much better images than point and shoot cameras, especially in low light situations. Then again, previously the pictures obtained at higher ISO settings (which is required in low light) had too much noise, particularly over the 800 ISO level. Now, the Canon Rebel T2i takes pictures at ISO levels of 3200 or 6400 with really low noise. This is a major advantage for folks who like to take photos of concerts and other inside events.
A great method to discover whether a new camera is deserving of your consideration is to check with those who have recently actually spent money to buy one. The number of remarks from those individuals have been growing and the majority are very positive.
Relevant remarks from 550D buyers:
1. "Have owned all Rebels except the 500D,and this is easily the best. It's the best small DSLR on the market by a good bit."
2. "I just got the camera (upgraded from the 300D). I didn't think much of the "Live View" as an option before I bought it. I can see I'll be using this as an advantage... The "quick control" button is going to be game changer for me also, it is much easier to see what all the setting are at and I can make changes from the screen directly."
3. "I'm impressed with the quality of shots in low-low light, this was using kit lens... After parking an older Rebel (film version) for the digital point and shoots, this camera feel like going home after a long absence..is loaded with great features."
Is the Canon Rebel the finest entry level digital SLR camera on the market today? You will have to decide for yourself, but there are very few purchasers who have encountered buyer's remorse with this little gem.
