The new flagship of the EOS Rebel line, Canon EOS Rebel T2I brings professional EOS features into an easy to use, lightweight digital SLR that's a joy to use. Featuring a class-leading 18.0 Mega pixel CMOS Image Sensor and increased light sensitivity for low light photography, the EOS Rebel T2I also has an advanced HD Movie mode for gorgeous Full HD movies. Able to capture up to 3.7 frames per second, it's ready to go the minute it's picked up. Advanced Live View, a new wide-area screen, plus features like Canon's brilliant Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone features ensure brilliant photos and movies, easily. With some of the most advanced features of any digital SLR, it's simply the best Rebel Canon has ever created.
The T2I seems to be meeting if not exceeding consumers expectations when it comes to photography. Lightweight, Good battery Life, Quiet, Easy to Use and Excellent Image Quality. We have noticed that if your shooting HD-VIDEO, you may run into some heat issues. While the Still Pictures are AMAZING, there has been complaints of the camera overheating even as early as 6-7 minutes of shooting Hi-Def Video. The images are stunning, but the real advantage is HD video. You get a HD video machine at a third the cost of a dedicated HD video machine.
MAJOR PRO:
You now have use of all of your lenses with the advantage of depth of field missing from most video cameras. When you carry your camera gear it is only for one camera & that at least for me is wonderful because I have lightened my load by half.
MAJOR CON: You lose some bells & whistles of course and the limited audio can be worked around by purchasing a XLR pre-amp with a good xlr mic (something you should have with a dedicated video camera anyway) & audio issues are gone.
Also, the T2I camera over heating in video mode is a major issue if you want to shoot a full feature film. After an hour of continued use the camera will issue a high internal temp warning...an issue with all HDSLR units. So if your still wanting this camera, bite the bullet initially & buy a fast (10) card this will help, not eliminate the heating problem. Also shut off the camera for a minute or two while your in between shots every 20 minutes or so. This allows the camera to cool down & overheating is less of a problem.
Bottom line is if you are a photographer or a PROSUMER Videographer, and want to get a feel of how to shoot with a motion picture camera..this would be a great camera to learn from. The T2I can help teach a novice filmmaker, what the
different lens sizes will do for the images and give you a grasp on dept of field that you wouldn't get unless you were shooting with film...
Again, for anyone wanting to make full feature films..it is very impractical camera. If you like professional looking stunning images, for short-beautiful HD video clips, a camera you can learn depth of field via lenses from, and that is easy to use, while being inexpensive, then the Canon T2I is the one for you.
