Your Questions About Canon Rebel T2i Kit

rob answers:

I’m a Canon guy and I always recommend what I own and therefore know. I have a Rebel XS and an
eos t1i – both are excellent and I know in my heart of hearts that the t2i will be excellent as well.

Also, we’ve begun to see some problems here with Pentax, various things.

Besides that consider that Canon is one of only two brands chosen by professionals all over the world for many good reasons. Really, you can’t go wrong with Canon.

rob answers:

We’re beginning to read about problems with Olympus – early problems that just shouldn’t be there.
I have yet to see one real, true equipment with Canon.

I have two Canon dslr cameras and they’re both excellent – the t2i to be sure.

The T2i (also known as the 550D) is an excellent dSLR. The EF 50mm f/1.8, even though it’s very cheap, plasticky and toylike…has very good optical quality and makes a great portrait and lowlight lens. You’ve done your homework.

From the review below…
“Despite our (very minor) complaints, the EOS 550D is a very satisfying camera, and certainly offers the most compelling feature set of any nominally ‘entry level’ DSLR that we’ve used. It isn’t just about spec though – the 550D’s refined handling and excellent supplied software suite should not be overlooked. Although it doesn’t represent a huge improvement over the 500D, the changes that have been made are worthwhile, and well-implemented. An external mic socket, manual control and wide choice of resolutions and frame rates means that the 550D is worthy of consideration for serious video use, and when paired with a high quality lens, image quality is superb.”

and…”With all this taken into account, it is hard not to recommend the EOS 550D. Quite simply, taken as a whole, it is the best camera of its class that we’ve ever seen, and one of those rare cameras that won’t look out of date in a couple of years’ time.”

good luck…

Well if you feel like being illegal, well you can download Utorrent and go to Thepiratebay.org and illegally download ANY editing program for free. Its kind of a pain in the ass unless you know a thing or two about downloading stuff to your computer. Other than that, do u have a mac or pc? I have a PC so windows movie maker is aiight, but i dont think that the t2is format works with Movie maker.

EF (Electronic Focus) refers to the electronic lens mount. The mechanical lenses are known under the letters FD.

S is for Short Back Focus. A lens design for a crop sensor body. Crop bodies can use either EF or EF-S lenses. FF (Full Frame) bodies can only use EF lenses

18-55 is the focal length range. A prime lens (or fixed focal) would have only one number. Zooms always have two: the shortest and longest focals.

F/3.5-5.6 is the maximum aperture. In this case, at 18mm the lens opens up to f3.5 and at 55mm it opens up to f5.6. If you only had one number it would mean that the maximum aperture is the same throughout the focal length range which would make it more expensive. When it comes to aperture, the smaller the number, the bigger the aperture or the more light let in.

IS is Image Stabilization or vibration reduction which allows to handhold shots are slower speeds.
