Canon Rebel T2i – Greatest Rebel Ever

Canon Rebel T2i

The Canon Corporation has really hit a home-run with its Canon EOS Rebel T2i!

The entry level digital SLR is receiving rave reviews everywhere in the digital photography community. It is being touted as the greatest sub-$1000 camera now in the marketplace.

What on earth is all the hype about? Photography gurus and buyers alike are excited about this brand-new little digital SLR camera… Why?

There is no official data, but it appears that the set of features of the new Rebel is very much like another recent release in the Canon line-up, the 7D, at roughly one-half the cost.

The price discrepancy is not unsubstantiated, but unless you are an really critical professional, it would be tough to tell the discrepancy in images and video between these two digital SLR cameras.

Perhaps the very best reason for obtaining a new Canon Rebel T2i is for the satisfaction that comes from the picture taking experience. The ease of making use of the controls to command your digital camera to get the precise picture you desire. Regardless of whether you want to control the depth of field or get a fantastic action shot of your most popular sport, it is doable with this wonderful Digital slr camera.

Are you moving up from a compact digital.. No more waiting around for the digital camera to make up its mind to finally “snap” the image, seemingly eons after you pressed the shutter button.
Digital SLR buyers are truly fired up about the addition of video. And with this new model, the quality of the video output is greatly superior. Despite the fact that there are several other versions of DSLR cameras that have video, and the first few cameras that had video did not do it that well. Today, with the 550D video has attained a level that is rather impressive. Compact digital camera owners who resisted getting a DSLR camera mainly because of the absence of video are now finding a persuasive motive to finally upgrade.

Another much better component is the low light picture capability. Digital SLR cameras have always been able to create much better pictures than digital compact cameras, especially in low light conditions. Even so, previously the pictures obtained at higher ISO settings (which is necessary in low light) have suffered from high noise levels, especially above the 800 ISO level. Now, the Canon Rebel T2i takes pictures at ISO levels of 3200 or 6400 with really low noise. This is a key plus for individuals who like to take pictures of live shows and various other inside events.

A fantastic method to find out whether a new camera is worthy of your attention is to check with those who have recently actually spent money to buy one. The number of remarks from those people have been growing and nearly all are quite positive.

Here are three comments that seemed particularly relevant:

  1. “Have owned all Rebels except the 500D,and this is easily the best. It’s the best small DSLR on the market by a good bit.”
  2. “I just got the camera (upgraded from the 300D). I didn’t think much of the “Live View” as an option before I bought it. I can see I’ll be using this as an advantage… The “quick control” button is going to be game changer for me also, it is much easier to see what all the setting are at and I can make changes from the screen directly.”
  3. “I’m impressed with the quality of shots in low-low light, this was using kit lens… After parking an older Rebel (film version) for the digital point and shoots, this camera feel like going home after a long absence..is loaded with great features.”

Is it time for you to make the move to a Canon Rebel T2i digital SLR camera? You will have to make your own judgement, but there are very few consumers who have experienced buyer’s remorse with this little gem.

Canon Rebel T2i is truly recognized as the very best Rebel yet.

Cheap DSLR Camera Gives Great Value – Pentax K-x

This Cheap DSLR is really Colorful!

This Cheap DSLR is really Colorful!

Pentax is really giving value these days!

Its Pentax K-x model is a really cheap DSLR camera with plenty of bang for the buck.

Check out these benefits:

  1. A great CMOS image sensor that is 12.4-megapixels and incorporates its own variation of Image Stabilization, which is called “Shake Reduction” by this maker.
  2. Video Capture at HD 720p – none of the other models at this price point offer video at all, let alone HD video.
  3. LCD is 2.7″ and features Live View, which compact digital photographers will be very comfortable with.
  4. Image Quality meets all others in its category, and surpasses the others when ISO is increased above 800.
  5. Burst rate of 4.7 frames per second permits for stop action images, again as good or better than its competitors.
  6. HDR in-camera processing – High Dynamic Range is really increasing in popularity with photographers. This camea (unlike any other in its class) will combine 3 shots of diverse light values into one photo with rather good results.

The benefits are really impressive. And you can do all this with a Red, White or Blue camera. How patriotic.

As usual, you can get one here :-)
