Overview — Canon EOS Rebel T2i

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i is an APS-C DSLR camera built around an 18MP sensor and powered by the DIGIC 4 image processor. It offers a native ISO range of 100 to 6400, giving photographers a reasonable span for shooting in varied lighting conditions. The 9-point phase detection autofocus system handles focus acquisition for both stills and video, though it lacks eye tracking and subject tracking functionality.

For burst shooting, the T2i manages up to 3.7 frames per second, making it capable for casual action and everyday photography. On the video side, it records up to 1080p at frame rates of 30p, 25p, and 24p — a meaningful feature set for an entry-level body. The 3.0-inch LCD display delivers 1.04 million dots of resolution, which is useful for image review and Live View composition.

An optical viewfinder is included for traditional shooting. Connectivity includes USB, Mini HDMI output, and a 3.5mm microphone jack — a handy addition for videographers. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.

The polycarbonate body measures 130 x 97 x 76mm and weighs 736g with battery. A built-in pop-up flash rounds out the feature set. The LP-E8 battery is rated for approximately 440 shots per charge.
