 Love love love itSep 10, 2010
Best camera I have ever owned, and shoots incredible video. Basically a 7D with 3.8 shots per second instead of 7, slightly worse lens, built a little cheaper (still good!), and with a little bit shorter battery life. Shoots incredible video, I love it.
 Got a lemon, and canon support does nothing to helpSep 08, 2010
This is my 3rd rebel.
I take about 10.000 pictures per year and have a range of Canon quality lenses, I am no professional, but do know how to take a decent photo.
Upgraded from an xti (and am now back to using that instead of the T2i)
I got a lemon that takes pictures that are out of focus, horrendously noisy and thus useless. Send it back to Canon, and after spending 1/5 of the order price on shipping it to Canon support ( i live in the Caribbean) I found out that the problem is still exactly like before.
Numerous contacts with canon now makes me want to give up on Canon and their support all together, sell the lenses, take my loss and buy Nikon products.
Beware of Canon's lack of support if you have the bad luck of buying a lemon!
$1000+ dollars wasted.
 Great entry-level DSLR with HD video capabilitiesSep 04, 2010
OVERVIEW -
This camera really is fantastic. Offering just the right balance for any beginner starting out or a professional looking for a mid-level DSLR with video capabilities. Upgrading from a Rebel XT i was able to reuse a lot, such as the lenses, filters, and shutter release cable, though the battery has changed. There are some that say a dedicated video device will always be better than a tacked on feature and in many cases they're probably right, but I feel like I can capture some really creative angles and shots with the vast amount of lenses, adapters and filters such as the lensbaby available for SLRs I know it wont go unused to any owner.
PROS -
+ The screen is just big and beautiful your photos will really pop on it. I recommend a screen protector to keep it pristine. I always go with Zagg InvisibleShields for any device I get.
+ The noise levels in photos even at high ISO is extremely impressive.
+ Live View even in Full Auto mode
+ Uses SD, SDHC, SDXC cards. This is subjective, I know, my previous DSLR used Compact Flash but SD cards are quickly getting cheaper and faster. Note: a class 6 or higher card is needed for video recording.
+ Can use both EF and EF-S lenses.
Side note:
+ When paired with a Eye-Fi Pro X2 there are built in menus to take advantage of the cards built-in wifi. Highly recommend this card it's expensive but the Geotagging and "endless memory" mode for some would make it well worth it. http://www.amazon.com/Eye-Fi-Class-Wireless-Memory-EYE-FI-8PC/dp/B002UT42UI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1283562433&sr=1-1
CONS -
- Camera can get toasty when recording video heavily.
- Battery drains quickly and gets hot during video recording
- Autofocus while recording video is hit or miss maybe it's just me and I haven't quite figured it out yet.
- I wish there was a few more controls when shooting video, and a faster FPS. Though you can get 60fps in 720p.
I've only had the camera for a short while so I can only comment on the aspects that I've been able to really test. But overall this is a very nice camera.
Also note that Canon has recently announced a slightly more expensive 60D which looks very promising and has an articulating screen and better weather proofing.

Un-Freakin-BelievableSep 03, 2010
Wow, what can I say that others haven't already? I played extensively with the D90 and the T2i before I purchased the T2i. The Nikon was bigger (substantially) and heavier (again, substantially) but otherwise it felt no different than the T2i. As I have rather small hands I actually preferred the size factor of the T2i and any less weight I have to heft around for a full day of shooting is a definite plus. All buttons and controls felt identical and the sound of the shutter on both sounded solid, substantial and like a fine tuned instrument. It's low light performance, in particular, deserves mention. This thing can take a well exposed picture in a coal mine without flash. It's just amazing. The price of this is just hard to believe. You might expect to pay at least double the asking price for anything close to it's photographic performance. No sense repeating what many others have said. It's an incredibly well made product that delivers on every aspect of its promise. There is no better crop sensor camera. To get (incrementally) better photographic qulaity you'd have to go to a full frame camera and deal with the size and weight that come with these full size sensors.

Great camera!Sep 02, 2010
The first digital camera (and I have had about 5 different ones over the years) that shows the colors the way that I actually see them. I am simply blown away by how much it accurately reflects what I see. I can ask nothing more from a camera. So far, I have found ease of use and accuracy of recording. I like it. I recommend it.
