The Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital Camera: Product Review

With its latest offering in the digital SLR arena, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i, Canon impressively packs a slew of powerful features in a neat and compact package. An 18 megapixel lens and a faster frame rate speak volumes as a professional caliber camera.

While the sleek, corner rounded design, and larger sized buttons make it a joy to use even for budding camera lovers.

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i digital SLR camera comes on the heels of the earlier released and much higher priced T1i. It is apparently a move by the company to make their own version of a feature full camera that can compete with the other models of competing brands that are rising in popularity today. Judging by the first impressions that the EOS T2i is showing, Canon has definitely got the jump on the competition.

With a shooting speed of 3.7 fps, this newest Canon rebel is now also the fastest one. Furthermore, it is also the first camera in the Rebel line to feature high quality movies in crystal clear HD (1920x1080) resolution.

There is also a choice for the user of either 24 frames per second recording or 30 frames per second recording. For recording movies with sound, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i comes fully prepared with an integrated microphone and an external microphone jack.

At the back of this rebel is a glorious 3.0 inch clear display. To differentiate it further from the T1i, the screen ratio has been changed to 3:2 from the previous 4:3. This has somewhat enabled the body design to shave a few millimeters.

In addition to this, the changing of the screen ratio has also apparently affected the overall design of the back of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i. The different buttons now have clear labels on them and they have also increased in size. A new dedicated button that can be used to access a quick menu has also been added.

Storage options on this all around camera have also been upgraded. Aside from the usual SD and SDHD cards, the Rebel T2i now also supports SDXC card compatibility. This allows this rebel to take up to six images in native RAW format or up to 34 images in terms of high quality jpeg images in one single burst.

As its new flagship model camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i does not disappoint. This awesome and strikingly good looking camera sets a new standard by which future models are going to be measured. Throw in the attractive price range and it becomes the trump in the field.
