Canon Digital Rebel T2i Review

Canon Digital Rebel T2i Review

Editors' Comments

The Canon Digital Rebel T2i is the latest consumer dSLR from Canon, the successor to the immensely popular T1i. The T2i, also known as the 550D, takes several features from the pro-sumer 7D model, most notably the 18 megapixel sensor and true 1080p HD video at your choice of 24, 25, and 30 frames per second. Some photo sites are already calling this the new king of entry-level dSLRs (though given the $899 price tag for the kit, Canon is actually marketing this as an entry-level/pro-sumer bridge).

Specifications

• 18 megapixels
• Canon DIGIC 4 image processor
• Continuous shooting at 3.7 fps
• 3-inch LCD monitor
• 1080p HD video at 24, 25, or 30fps
• JPEG and RAW image formats
• Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens
• Captures to SDHC/SDXC memory cards

Preview Nikon D300s

Nikon updated one of the most well-received digital SLRs on the market with the Nikon D300S, a digital SLR with the same 12.3-megapixel sensor, a slightly faster frame rate, and HD Video capture capability, among other improvements, all for the same $1,799.95 price tag.

In August 2007, Nikon launched the D300, which offered 12.3-megapixel resolution from a DX format image sensor roughly equal in size to a frame of APS-C film. Sensitivity could be extended as high as ISO 6,400 equivalent, and the Nikon D300 featured a weather-sealed body, 100% viewfinder coverage, a 920,000-dot LCD display with live-view capability, plus six frames-per-second burst shooting. The Nikon D300's feature set was robust enough not only to serve the enthusiastic amateur photographer, but also to prove attractive to pros looking for an extra camera body without breaking the bank.

Two years down the road, Nikon refreshed the D300 design with the Nikon D300S, incorporating almost the entire feature set of the previous camera plus several must-have features to compete with the latest cameras.
