In terms of image quality, the Canon T2i performed as well as I'd expected -- not surprisingly given the close relationship between its image sensor, and that of the prosumer EOS 7D. It was perhaps straining the optical limits of its mm kit lens, and I'd have loved the opportunity to shoot using some of Canon's higher-end glass, but unless viewed at resolution I found its images to offer plenty of detail, and with relatively low noise.
I found Canon's menu design on the T2i was among the clearest and easiest to understand compared to current digital SLRs, but I did find a few elements somewhat confusing. Several functions related to Live View are adjusted from a dedicated Live View function settings page, but it's not accessed from the Record menus, where I'd expect to find it.
Instead, it's rather confusingly located in Setup Menu 2. Several of its options are also shared with the Canon T2i's Movie mode, whose controls appear in two menus that only appear when the camera's Mode dial is set to Movie mode. If these settings are adjusted in the Live View function settings page, they also change in the Movie menus and vice versa , which could cause photographers a little confusion.
I also thought the placement of the Histogram option in Playback Menu 2 was a little curious, given that it also affects the Live View mode's Histogram function. I believe the option might be better situated in the Setup menus. These quirks aside, though, I found the Canon T2i's menus easy to navigate, and the My Menu group was particularly useful for quickly recalling frequently changed settings. Perhaps the big story of the Canon T2i is its Movie mode, which brings the feature set of Canon's prosumer EOS 7D model down to a much more affordable price point -- and even adds a couple of functions that aren't available in the 7D.
I must confess that I'm not much of a movie shooter myself, but nonetheless was rather impressed with the range of control on offer. The ability to shoot video with completely manual exposure is still rather rare among DSLRs at any price point, and will likely prove very appealing to advanced amateur and pro videographers on a budget, affording them with complete control over the look of their movies. Likewise, the option to use an external microphone is desirable for advanced amateurs, although the T2i doesn't offer control over recording levels, and so pros will likely still need to rely on an external device for audio capture in more challenging environments.
The ability to crop pixels from the center of the image sensor in standard-definition movie shooting helps consumers who can't afford expensive telephoto lenses to get closer to their subject. AF during movie capture. If a big adjustment is needed, the kit lens is rather noisy, but for small adjustments like in this video, the ability to perform single AF operations is probably quick and quiet enough for many consumers.
Shot in standard definition VGA mode. File Size: The ability to perform single autofocus operations during movie capture is becoming more common, but I found my enthusiasm for the ability rather tempered by just how obtrusive AF noise was when using the Canon T2i's mm kit lens, at least if anything more than minor adjustments were needed. I wasn't able to try the feature with a current Canon USM lens, but did try using an aged film-era Canon USM lens which I had on hand, and while it was still clearly audible, I felt it at least produced a less high-pitched and objectionable noise.
Perhaps current USM lenses would fare even better, and even the kit lens is fairly quiet if only a very small AF adjustment is needed. I still applaud Canon for offering the capability to focus, if for no other reason than that it allows amateur photographers to choose whether they're willing to put up with the drawbacks, rather than having the decision made for them.
With modern video editing software it's relatively simple to crop out the AF operations after the fact, or simply overlay a different soundtrack on the video. Equally useful for consumer videographers is the Canon T2i's movie crop function, available only when shooting in standard definition mode. Of course since this uses resolution data from the image sensor, it will more prominently show off image noise and lens defects, but the result is still likely to prove more satisfactory than the powerful digital zooms to be found on most dedicated camcorders.
Given that powerful telephoto lenses are priced out of the reach of most amateurs, I think the crop mode is a genuinely useful feature for the Rebel T2i's target market. One minor issue I encountered in my movie shooting with the Canon T2i related to its microphone placement, and my own grip on the camera.
I generally shoot two-handed for stability, but tend to change my grip slightly when shooting video with a DSLR. Ordinarily, my left hand grips the lens barrel, but given that I lack the smoothness to adjust focus or zoom to my satisfaction during video shooting, I've grown accustomed to moving my left hand away from the lens during video capture.
Instead, I hold the left end of the camera body. My issue was that in doing so, I occasionally brushed my middle finger across the microphone, or even accidentally covered it altogether, disrupting my movie audio. Once I was aware of this, it was easy enough to consciously make myself grip the body in a more traditional style, but a different microphone placement could resolve the issue altogether.
It seems to me that beneath the pentamirror prism would be an ideal location which wouldn't likely be bumped or covered. VGA video crop. The Canon T2i's video crop mode gets you much closer to the action, at the expense of image sharpness and noise. Panning at this speed took all my concentration, so before filming, I prefocused on the bridge support at the six second point in the video, using the camera's contrast detect AF.
The resulting video is a bit soft, but probably acceptable to many consumers -- certainly when compared to the expense of a similarly powerful telephoto lens. Another feature of the Canon T2i that I welcomed was its modest increase in burst shooting rate. The difference between the T1i's 3. My reflexes are perhaps not the best, and so when shooting unpredictable subjects such as children and pets, I frequently take advantage of a camera's burst capabilities, quickly firing several shots when I think the moment right.
Every little bit helps with this approach, and the only real downside of the increased burst speed is that it is accompanied by a significant reduction in burst depth. Raw shooters such as myself are likely to find the six-shot buffer rather limiting, however. I occasionally found myself wishing for the T1i's somewhat more useful nine-shot capability as I waited for their buffer to empty.
I should note that the burst depth in both Raw and JPEG modes does vary with subject detail, and so in some scenes you may find more or less shots are available. All things considered, the Canon T2i is a very enjoyable camera to use, with impressive image quality and a generous range of features for a consumer DSLR. As noted, I'm largely a stills shooter who just occasionally dips into video to document family outings, but were I more of a videographer, the Canon T2i's depth of control over video shooting would likely have me beside myself with excitement.
The Canon T2i's megapixel sensor is an improvement on the megapixel T1i, with sharper detail and less noise overall at ISO 1, Pretty impressive. The red leaf fabric still gives the T2i trouble, though. Up against the Nikon D, the Canon T2i out-resolves its megapixel competitor in most situations, and there's less shadow chroma noise.
The Nikon still does better with the red leaf swatch, though, thanks to its better-controlled anti-noise suppression. The Pentax K7 isn't known for its superior high-ISO performance, but it's closer in resolution than most, and still does a fair job against the T2i.
The Canon T2i's sensor out-resolves the K7, though, while maintaining better detail overall. The T2i does so well, it's only fair to put it up against the full-frame Nikon D While the resolution doesn't make it a match, it's easy to see the advantage of larger pixels over more pixels, especially when looking a the red swatch.
The D gets less detail in the Mosaic area, sure, but when it comes to red leaf swatch, the D has more to true detail to work with, rendering the fabric more accurately than any other camera in this lineup.
With a time to focus and shoot of 0. There's about a 0. The only comparative disappointment is its 3. On one hand, both the autofocus system and the image processing are certainly fast enough to handle the action-shooting needs of the typical personal or hobbyist photographer, but there are faster models out there.
Overall, I think the T2i delivers the best image quality in its class, with great color and dynamic range outweighing its marginally weaker noise results. Canon's inexpensive mm kit lens delivers reasonably sharp images.
Keep in mind that other manufacturers tend to dial up the sharpness a bit more than Canon does for their defaults. Unlike Pentax and Sony's competing models, Canon takes a light touch with its default color settings--and, in fact, has more defaults that deliver accurate color than any other. While its Standard Picture Style does boost contrast a touch, it doesn't cause wholesale hue shifts the way others do, or as its Landscape setting does.
The T2i renders excellent color, saturated or subtle, with very good accuracy. For the money, Canon delivers an excellent noise profile in the T2i. The camera's usability beyond that ISO depends upon scene content and lighting. As with most of its competitors, the highest ISO sensitivities can be useful for images that will be reproduced at small sizes, but there's too much color noise for decent prints.
Canon excels with its noise-reduction algorithms, though it seems to start with a surprisingly low-noise image to begin with, at least at ISO 3, Pentax preserves sharpness better and Canon has a lot more color noise, but comparatively I'm not crazy about some of the Pentax's artifacts; sometimes I prefer the smoother albeit softer and more dithered appearance of the Canon to the blotchiness of the Pentax.
I could list individual aspects where competitors surpass it, including burst performance, high ISO sensitivity numbers, control layout, and viewfinder. But overall the camera is fast, with great photo quality and relatively standout video that help put it over the top.
