New Canon Rebel – Canon Rebel T2i Review

New Canon Rebel - Canon Rebel T2i Review Hobbies The Canon Rebel T2i has been released by Canon. It has been less than a 12 months since the last Canon Rebel descended on the digital camera universe. It would seem that Canon may be jumping the gun (pun intended) by releasing another version in its entry level class, particularly since the last one, the Canon Rebel T1i, appears to have been received so well. Product sales are really good, as have been user reviews.

So, is this particular release genuinely required? And will the digital camera purchasing public respond favorably? Although it still remains to be known, the quick answers would certainly seem to be, Yes, it is time for the new launch, and, Yes, the public will grab up this brand new release with gusto.

Here are the facts, and the facts are indisputable (A Few Good Men).

1. There is now no question that HD Movie mode is currently part of the system that photography enthusiasts will be looking for in their new DSLR purchases. And movie mode in the T2i has been improved... not just a little, but to correspond with the movie mode in the 7D semi-professional model (a 7D will cost you two times as much). With respect to the Canon press release: "The Rebel T2i DSLR captures video in both NTSC (National Television System Committee) and PAL (Phase Altering Line) standards at selectable frame rates including Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 30 (29.97), 25 or 24 (23.976) fps, and HD 1280 x 720 or Standard Definition 640 x 480 quality video, at 60 (59.94) or 50 fps." This is quite an advancement over the older model which had video capabilities of 1080p at only 20fps which supplied undesirable level of quality for nearly all viewers.

2. An external mic jack has been added for better sound recording in movie mode. This was the significant gripe from reviewers of the preceding version. Canon sales people listened to the complaint and heeded the cries for betterment in this area.

3. Megapixels have increased to the exact same degree as the 7D (again... cost is two times as much) at 18.7 megapixels. This is the greatest number of pixels in the entry level class, and, while megapixels are not the end-all of features for selection specifications, this is rather remarkable. The younger sibling had an already amazing 15 megapixel sensor.

4. ISO has been improved to a selection of sensitivity of 100 to 6400 (up from 3200 in the elder model) with the possibility of increasing to 12800. This makes taking pictures in low light much more possible. A good example would be at concerts or indoor images without using a flash.

5. Exposure compensation has been increased from 2 stops plus or minus to 5 stops. This is genuinely remarkable news for photo enthusiasts who do HDR work.

6. Improved quality LCD panel. The resolution of the panel has been increased to 1.02 million dots. This means that there is better excellent screen resolution.
