3 stars amazing picture quality, but uncomfortable to hold 2010-08-07

Reviewer: Robert Spalek

This is my 4th Canon EOS, after 1 film one I've had 300D, 450D, and now 550D. while the cameras are getting better for obvious reasons, the ergonomy is getting worse and worse. each model is smaller, harder to hold, and more painful for my fingers, especially with my heavy lenses. if there was a comparable middle-class model, I would happily pay more to get it, but unfortunately feature-wise there seems to be no competition except for the highest models. I love the sensitivity and lack of noise of the sensor, great new display, and the movies are really crisp.

5 stars Amazing Camera - Canon EOS Rebel T2i 2010-08-07

Reviewer: Jayne

I replaced my Canon Rebel XSi with the new Canon EOS T2i. This new camera produces the most crisp images. It is so much fun to take pictures and movies. Also the contrast is more prominent with the T2i. The Rebel XSi did well, but the Canon EOS T2i truly wins in my opinon.

The new movie feature was a bit tricky for me. The booklet doesn't really help you there. However you can find on the internet lots of very helpful tutorials with lots of details and information you need. And the fun get started.

Once again, Canon has raised the bar with the T2i, providing even more still-image resolution, and a high-def video mode with full control over exposure, resolution and frame rate, plus the ability to use autofocus during videos.

Compare to others - this is a winner !

4 stars Defective upon receipt - SD Card slot 2010-07-24

Reviewer: salsaguy

The 1st one I got from Amazon (body only version) was defective. It had a bad SD card slot (wouldnt pop out the card when you pressed on it). I sent it back and had to order from a different company because AZ was out of stock. 2nd one is ok. Be sure to check yours when you get it. Seems like a bad batch as Im not the only one reporting this. See other owners with the same problem at the DPReview site forums.
I dont like the way the battery door opens. For someone without nails, like me, its very difficult to open. I am playing around with it and will report back more. Only have the 50 mm 1.8 lens for now as Im waiting for my backorderd 15-85mm zoon to arrive from Amazon. All the features are cool and will be enjoying my 1st DSLR (but not 1st SLR). Lots to learn on this one. Read the various T2i forums for help and assistance for best results and tips/tricks.

5 stars More expensive than from Canon directly 2010-07-18

Reviewer: Mark Kaz

This comment is about the vendor, not the camera.
That vendor's price is $100 higher than the price directly from Canon website.
