About Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm Autofocus SLR Camera Body

The Rebel K2 incorporates many of the most sought after attributes of the market leading Rebel Ti model including Canon's premier 7-point wide area AF system, lightning-fast shutter speeds up to 1/2000 of a second, and 35-zone AF-linked evaluative metering that optimizes exposure accuracy. Compact and feature-packed, the Rebel K2 is a stylish, ergonomically streamlined, lightweight camera that yields heavyweight results. Weighing in at a mere 12 ounces, the new K2 is extremely compact and light, with advanced ergonomic design that makes single-handed operation a snap.

A step-up from (and a step quicker than) Canon's entry level EOS Rebel GII, the EOS Rebel K2 features fast autofocus and film advance permitting users to shoot at 1.5 frames per second, 50 percent faster than the GII. Tracking and keeping moving subjects in focus is a breeze thanks to the Rebel K2's AI Servo AF mode and seven point selectable autofocus system (with focusing points superimposed on Canon's glareless new laser matte focusing screen). Users can also opt for manual focusing point selection by simply pressing the Focusing Point Selector and rotating the main dial until the preferred focus point is indicated below the picture area in the viewfinder data display, or on the large, easy-to-read LCD data panel on the back of the camera.

Like the Rebel Ti (K2's senior sibling), this newest Rebel anticipates virtually any common shooting circumstance and offers photographers fast and easy access to 12 shooting modes at the turn of the large Command Dial on top of the camera. The Command dial is divided into Basic and Creative Zone modes. Designed primarily for beginners, the Basic Zone presets a variety of camera settings including AF, metering, and film transport modes to optimize results in popular photo applications such as portraits, landscapes, close-ups, sports, and night scenes. There is also a Full Auto mode for basic snapshots as well as a Flash Off mode that disables the built-in flash or any EX Speedlite when users wish to shoot exclusively with available light. In the Creative Zone, users can select from five shooting modes: Program AE, Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Automatic Depth of Field AE and Manual for complete creative control.

With the EOS Rebel K2, Canon's exclusive 35-zone Evaluative metering links to the active focusing point and is the default metering pattern in AE modes, while center-weighted average metering is automatically selected in Manual mode. Central-area partial metering (measuring 9.5% of the picture area) is available on demand in Program AE, Shutter-priority AE, Aperture-priority AE, Auto Depth-of-Field AE and Manual. In Creative Zone modes, users can also modify exposure settings with features such as Program Shift, Exposure Compensation and Auto Exposure Bracketing. There's even a Multiple Exposure function that can composite up to 9 separate images on the same frame for creative effects.
