Introduction:

Flashing a softer body and enhanced features, Canon EOS Rebel T2i, a successor to the popular T1i entered the market revving the hopes up for Canon lovers. The manufacturer claims that the new camera can be used with all the EF and E-F lenses; offers support to a variety of memory cards like SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and Eye-fi wireless cards for an extended storage option.

Features:

Canon EOS Rebel T2i has made special efforts to keep the operation of its camera less complicated and accessible to every body. It has devised a Quick Control button that will give immediate access to the user for white balance, exposure and ISO settings. Besides, the user can switch between the Live View and Movie mode just by the push of a single button without wasting time.

Pros:

• The EOS Rebel T2i comes equipped with an 18.0 megapixels CMOS (APS-C) sensor to deliver images of unrivalled quality and clarity. This powerful sensor eliminates the possibility of quality reduction while the picture is being cropped or being magnified for posters.
• To offer enhanced visibility and clarity, the T2i packs a 3.0” Clear view LCD of 1.04 million dots resolution. The best thing about this LCD is that, it comes coated with a anti-glare, water-resistant feature that protects the monitor there by offering great view to the user even while shooting in bright sun light.
• Shoot amazing videos with EOS Movie mode of 1920 x 1080 Full HD video up to a maximum of 4 GB file size with audio. The user can set the exposure settings, ISO settings etc manually in the movie mode as well.
• The T2i is the first-ever camera to offer a Movie crop function. The footage can be cropped to 7x magnification if it was shot in a standard- definition resolution of 640 x 480.

Cons:

• The much-hyped Movie crop mode can be used only when shooting in standard definition VGA resolution.
• Wide-angle shots display barrel distortion and the corners of pictures look little softer than the rest.
• While shooting the video panning the camera speedily might lead to slightly distorted images which can be identified only upon watching closely.
• The continuous AF feature cannot be used while shooting a video as it makes the focus go helter-skelter.
