I bought this camera a month ago to shoot some pictures of friends and travels and the card door stops opening and the SD card is stuck in there. To make it better, the HDMI port isn't transferring the images from the camera to my computer.

what is good in kam? Is sharp? Is simple to be used? Is reliable? T2i is these things. For low price it take derrogoutypes which impress very much. Very simple very beautiful. Great kam, much better than filthy bolshevik Nikon.

I have been using the T2i for almost three years now & this camera has never let me down.This little gem has been reliable even in the heat & humidity of southwest Florida.It has been to the beaches on the gulf coast countless times & it has gone with me into the swamps a few times.For somebody just starting out,this is a great camera to learn on.I am looking to upgrade to a full frame camera soon (6d but this camera will come along in the camera bag as a backup until it can't take anymore pictures.Thank You Canon.

Takes nice pictures, especially when paired with my Canon 18-135mm lens. Video is not as good as with newer camera capabilities, because it is hard to keep moving objects in focus. The mode dial is easily moved when taking the camera in and out of it's case costing me some good shots. Wish there was a mode dial lock switch

Wife bought this body with a 55-250 lens as a kit (not listed) to replace the DSLR I had. Got great shots while in Glacier Nat'l. park and Yellowstone Nat'l. park. With the long range I was able to capture waterfalls with slow shutter for "cotton candy" and faster speeds for "droplet" pics. Wife had a few blown up 20x30 to "hang around". Wish I had read more about this unit and I could have taken Movies. THAT would have been great when we came across a mama black bear and her cub, from long range of course!

I've had my T2i for a few years. I took over 10,000 pictures with it and was very satisfied. In August 2013 I got caught outside in a rainstorm and the camera is now completely inoperable. Also the lens that came with it in the kit no longer has Auto Focus.

i have used this camera for less than 2 years and since the beginning i was getting a "busy" message soon after taking a picture but it would go away in secs but now the "busy" message shows up whatever i turn ON the camera and i am not able to use the camera, everything becomes frozen...i bought a new memory card class 10, did not work, i bought a new battery, did not work either, this camera was the most expensive i ever had and i really was expecting it would last more than that..

Used this on a few international trips. It's super durable and shoots great pictures with not a lot of fiddling. Pretty awesome baseline DSLR!

Perfect starter for HD Video production- on par with more expensive models in the Canon line. I also used this camera in studio photography, and this camera produces some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen- excellent resolution!

I moved up from a Canon XTi with the Digi-2 processor. Nice camera. But the T2i with Digi-4 has all the speed and 18 MP resolution I need. And it is very reasonably priced. I have two of them now, one with a long lens, the other with my 17-50 Tamron zoom. My pics have been published and I even get paid for shooting now and then. Of course, don't expect a 7D (superfast continuous sport) or 5D (superb quality) with this camera, but for the money this is a great value. Use great lenses and you will very satisfied with image quality.

I purchased the t2i a little while back. I was waiting to post my review because I wanted to try it out and give my honest opinion from experience. I rated basically every aspect of this camera 5 out of 5 stars for some good reasons. First off, I am not a professional photographer, but when I have this camera, I feel like one and the photos that I take for people look a pro's work. Second, the performance that I get out of it is just spectacular. I travel a lot all over the globe, going from cold climates in Russia, to high humidity areas in southern America. I definitely am going to continue using this camera on my upcoming plans for Spring in Germany and France. I know I will be able to depend on it functioning. I am a little concerned with the battery life after charging. when I first got it, the battery life would last probably three days from full charge to flashing. I would recommend having a spare battery in your bag if you're planning on an all day outing. But with that being my only complaint, I can say that this is a great buy. There are the newer versions out now, but for the cost of this one to its quality of photos, it's definitely worth looking into. Make sure you buy what is best for what you're looking to do, just because a model is the newest and shiniest, doesn't make it the best for your situation. Good luck on your adventures. =

For years (since 1975 I was a film photographer Canon Ftb and AE1 (both still active) but in 2010 I went digital with the then top of the line entry level T2i. As a hobbyist and all around joy hunter the T2i has made me look like a pro. I started in New Orleans and on a cruise. Great night shots of wet streets and colors galore with little noise and great landscapes of plantations, shipboard rooms and entertainment shots without a flash and those distance shots of oil rigs from a moving deck of a ship due to the kit EF-S 18-55. But as a learning tool for entry to digital the biggest eye opener was when I found out about HDR photography and the eye popping photos this T2i was able to capture with the stabilized picture with also auto focus on providing the great low noise always. The ability to AEB +/-2 or 1 in 1/3 or 1/2 three instant shots or even to do continuous 2 or more shooting with the AEB getting a set (of three -2 0 +2) for 2 (6 shots total [or more if you just want to let it go]) shots back to back with the mirror up (live view)(less shake and noise) of sunrises or sunsets WITH windy conditions or moving tides providing very little ghosting to tend with, mind blowing magical to say the least.

Excellent upgrade. Having a lot of trouble with the video feature, will record more than a few seconds(most of the time). Great clarity in the photos. Definitely needs an option to dial in the color temperature, and better one for the ISO.

I was a beginner photographer when I bought this camera and I began shooting that day with a little help from youtube. The images were great. The video capture was awesome I cant tell you how many times we made goofy videos and watched it on the frame by frame video playback. Great camera, all the other reviews convinced me to buy it, so I figured I'd help convince someone else.

I bought this for my husband before our honeymoon. He has been into photography for some time but never really worked with a dsrl. He caught on quick with this camera and has taken some wonderful shots! Hiking during our honeymoon he got GREAT pictures far and up close (and not having to switch out the lens was key). Traveling on boat and while driving we captured crisp clear landscape pictures. I definitely recommend.

Recently I looked hi and low to find a brand new T2i in a local shop. They are getting a little harder to find these days. This will be the third T2i in our household. I use it with the 100-400L lens, so this lens partnered with the 18mp of the T2i allows me to crop some of my shots at 100%. This saves me from needing a longer more expensive lens. I always found the smoother profile of the non adjustable LCD feels better to me and gives my thumb more room to use the controls. I strongly Recommend the T2i.

Overall, this is a good, solid camera and a very good value for the price. While it has some nice auto and semi-automatic functions, I work entirely in manual mode, and the controls and ability to adjust settings are clunky. If you're a landscape photographer or work with semi-automatic functions, you won't have a problem. I'm an urban photographer and find adjustments clunky, and a little slow. But again, it's a good, solid choice at at good price, and there is no reason someone with a decent skill set can't get professional photos from this camera.

I just bought my second T2i on Nov 24 2012. I wanted another one so I would change lenses less. The main reason though, is I like the fixed LCD screen. Canon if you are listening... please keep making the T2i or at least a top of the line sensor body with a fixed screen.

I get the most clear awesome sunsets and I have a view that I get some beyond beautiful sunsets. This camera has been nothing but fun. Lots of buttons and I would love to know how to get my name on the pictures. Still have allot to learn.

This is the first DSLR that we have owned, coming from a Sony Compact camera. There is a world of difference in the capabilities of the camera vs a point and shoot. My only "complaint" is that when in sport mode (or other rapid fire shooting) when you are saving the pictures as RAW+ JPG, you can get maybe 10, then you have to wait for it finish transferring to the card. Now I have a Class 10 high speed card, so it has to do with the buffer in the camera. We use the faster shooting modes, as we have young kids, dog, and the quick shutter speed combined with lots of pictures, will get us a good result. Having the JPG for everyday pics but the choice of using RAW for the really good pictures is great as well. Otherwise, this is a great camera, and it is only a minor gripe. My wife loves the camera and she just leaves it in Auto mode most of the time. I try to use the more advanced features, so it has something for everyone.

I was very happy with the T2i for my needs and price range. However, I was very disappointed with the 18-55MM lens that came with it. Therefore, I returned the T2i originally purchased and purchased a body only to buy the lens that I liked better (55MM-250MM).

Awsome camera
By AZ p.
I have had my T2i for about a month now, my third Canon Rebel after my XSi and T1i. The picture quality is awsome. The features and options are plentiful. It would have been nice to have switch for movie mode like the 7D
Best camera I've ever had!
By Macohnut
All my cameras are Canons. There's a reason for that! Canon makes the best, period. And this one is no exception! This is my first DSLR. This camera is very easy to use. The 18 MP is amazing. I didn't know pictures could look this clear and sharp. The colors produced are perfect. I just cannot say enough good things about it. I am not new to photography, just new to SLRs because I am finally able to afford one. And this has a very affordable price tag...yet it takes photos like it's worth a m...
