Less than a year after the launch of the EOS Rebel T1i (500D) comes the latest in Canon's hugely popular consumer SLR range, the Rebel T2i (EOS 550D). With the 450D and 500D Canon appeared to be pulling away slightly from the real 'entry level' (a sector driven almost entirely by price), and the EOS 550D - on paper at least - is no exception, outgunning many of the 'upper entry level' and mid range SLRs on the market today in terms of spec.

I've had my Rebel T2i for a couple years now. It's been well worth the time and money. As an eager, amateur photographer it's really a platform for learning. This camera has never failed to meet my expectations in shooting photos and videos. I'm a cyclist and took it with me when riding Glacier... Read the full review →

I mainly use the Canon 550d for film making. It was a compromise considering I didn't have the budget for the Canon 5d Mark II at the time of purchase. I immediately threw away the kit lens and purchased the lightweight and versatile 28-135mm F3.5/5.6. For documentary film making, under... Read the full review →

The Canon T2i is the best entry level DSLR for people getting started into photography. It the step before getting into the more Semi-Pro models. It takes amazing 1080p video and great shots. It's a crop frame sensor but works with all L-range lenses. Read the full review →

Best entry-level DSLR / amazing HD video camera. With a 50mm f/1.4 lens, a 55-250mm telephoto lens, and the standard lens that comes with it, I have what I need plus a few add-ons like a rode shotgun mic and a battery grip. Absolutely love this camera. The negative: durability. The build quality is... Read the full review →
