The Canon EOS Rebel T2i brings professional EOS features into an easy to use, lightweight digital SLR that's a joy to use. Featuring a class-leading 18.0-megapixel CMOS image sensor and increased light sensitivity for low light photography, the EOS Rebel T2i also has an advanced HD Movie mode for gorgeous Full HD movies. Able to capture up to 3.7 frames per second, it's ready to go the minute it's picked up. Advanced Live View, a new wide-area screen, plus features like Canon's brilliant Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone features ensure brilliant photos and movies, easily. With some of the most advanced features of any digital SLR, it's simply the best Rebel Canon has ever created.
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images
with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough
resolution for big enlargements or crops. This first-class sensor features
many of the same new technologies as used by professional Canon cameras
to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor
creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).
The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS
Rebel T2i's camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements
in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert
with the EOS Rebel T2i's CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels
of performance in nearly any situation.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light
The EOS Rebel T2i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting
possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an
ISO rating up to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4
Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities
abound. Combine the EOS Rebel T2i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses
with Optical Image Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both
movies and stills expand even further.
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS Rebel T2i features
HD Video capture technologies--manual exposure control for more creative
control, for example--borrowed directly from professional Canon SLRs
to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with an SLR.
By shooting video with the EOS Rebel T2i, photographers as well as filmmakers
can take advantage of the creative features native to SLR cameras. Along
with its manual controls, the EOS Rebel T2i allows for full use of Canon
EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora
of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting
HD video is a standout in its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics
and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions. In a first
for EOS cameras, a Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality movie
(640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification
of regular shooting.
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for
numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame
rates of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second, for up to 4GB
per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD
through the EOS Rebel T2i's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD
at 1280 x 720 (50/60 (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 (59.94)
fps). The EOS Rebel T2i has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording
and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone.
The EOS Rebel T2i features Canon's newest Dual-layer sensor, with 63-zones.
By measuring not only the amount of light, but also taking into account
color and luminosity, this new system delivers a very high level of accuracy
for better results every time. Since the metering sensor has a color
measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different
light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T2i gives stable exposure from
shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as sports on a cloudy
day, or indoor holiday scenes.
Additionally, the EOS Rebel T2i has a high-precision, 9-point AF system
utilizing a high-precision, f/2.8 cross-type center point. The 9-point
AF system uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture
and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or
manually selected.
The EOS Rebel T2i has a high-resolution 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
that features 1.04 million dots/VGA for spectacular detail. It also has
the same aspect ratio (3:2) as the camera's sensor, making for clear
and easy Live View composition. An anti-reflective and water-repellant coating
provides a clearer and more smudge-resistant surface and screen brightness
can be adjusted in 7 steps in accordance with ambient light.
The EOS Rebel T2i's refined button layout includes a dedicated button
that directs the camera immediately to the Quick Control screen, where
it's simple to navigate among any number of settings, including ISO, Exposure
and Flash Exposure compensation, drive mode, white balance, image quality
and much, much more.
Without the need to navigate through a bunch of menus, the EOS Rebel
T2i transitions effortlessly between still and movie mode. By pressing
the Live View/Movie button, a situation that had required menu access with
other cameras, still images can change to a movie shoot and vice versa.
It's literally as simple as the press of a button.
3.7fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately
6 RAW
The EOS Rebel T2i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up
to approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution
JPEGs. Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T2i can
capture even rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease.
The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with both SDXC memory cards for greater
storage capacity and with Eye-Fi SD cards, which are outfitted with a
Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and internal antenna for wireless, high
speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T2i
can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for
fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.
*Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including
wireless transfer. In case of an issue with the Eye-Fi card, please consult
with the card manufacturer. The use of Eye-Fi cards may not be available
outside the United States and Canada, please contact the card manufacturer
for territory availability.
The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup,
including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide
angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise
and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and
deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like the Canon Image
Stabilizer technology in select lenses helps to minimize the effect of camera
shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light. With a dizzying array
of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between,
photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS
Rebel T2i with superlative Canon optics.

Includes Free Visible Dust Sensor Cleaning Kit
Chamber Clean™ has been specifically developed to aid in the reduction
of dust within the sensor chamber area. It cleans away dust
and oil that accumulate on the walls and also provides anti-static properties
to reduce further build up. Chamber Clean™ is specifically formulated
to have the following characteristics:
* Antistatic — to prevent dust accumulation
* Cleaning — helps remove stubborn flecks, dust and liner fabrics
* Lubricant — to reduce flecks by reducing friction
Chamber Clean™ solution is filtered to less than 0.2 micron, 40 times smaller
than 8 micron pixel size. Visible Dust does not recommend using other cleaning
solutions which may contaminate the sensor.
