The Canon EOS Rebel T2i Digital SLR Kit w/ EF-S/18-55 IS
incorporates a number of advanced pro-DSLR features in a compact and
very affordable camera body. Driven by a DIGIC 4 image processor, the
T2i contains a high-resolution 18.0 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, and can
capture JPEGs, RAW (14-bit, Canon original), or RAW+JPEG stills at
burst-rates of up to 3.7 frames-per-second. The EOS Rebel T2i can also
capture full 1080p HD video with monaural sound, or stereo sound when
using (optional) 3.5mm external microphones.
In addition to the
camera's bright eye-level optical reflex viewfinder, the Rebel T2i also
features Advanced Live View (with a dedicated Live view/Movie button)
for composing and editing your stills and video using the T2i's 3.0"
Clear View LCD, which contains a whopping 1.04 million dots of resolving
power.
Additional image enhancing tools include Auto Lighting
Optimizer and Highlight Tone, which further improve detail in the
highlight, mid-tone, and shadow areas in both stills and videos. As
you'd expect there's also a 3-point Dust Deletion System and the option
of shooting in either sRGB or Adobe RGB.
Videophiles will
appreciate the Rebel T2i's Improved EOS Movie mode that allows for full
manual exposure control, expanded recording 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), 30p
(29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 1280 x 720 (HD), 60p (59.94) / 50p, 640 x
480 (SD), 60p (59.94) / 50p), Movie Crop recording in 640 x 480, and an
external microphone IN terminal for improved sound quality.
An
enhanced 63-zone dual-layer metering system and a 9-point AF system
featuring a precision f/2.8 cross-type center point enable rapid
focusing and accurate exposures. For low-light shooting, the Rebel T2i
features an ISO range of 100-6400, which can be expanded to an
equivalent of 12800 when necessary, and there's a Quick Control Screen
that enables easy access to frequently used settings.
The Canon
EOS Rebel T2i records imagery onto a choice of SD memory card, SDHC
memory card, or SDXC Memory Cards and powers off an LP-E8 lithium-ion
battery, which is good for up to 550 still exposures or 1 hour and 40
minutes of video recording. The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with all
Canon EF and EF-S optics. For CAEDRT2IK only - The Canon Rebel T2i kit
comes with an image stabilized Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS zoom lens, which
has an equivalent focal range of a 28.8 - 88mm lens on a full-frame
(24x36mm) 35mm camera.
- 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) Sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor Offer High Image Quality and Speed
-
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (complementary
metal oxide semiconductor) 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 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.
- EOS Movie Mode Has Manual Exposure, Expanded Recording Modes, and Improved Sound Quality.
-
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.
- Enhanced 63-Zone, Dual-Layer Metering System and 9-point AF System
-
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. Thus, 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.
- Wide 3.0-inch (3:2 Aspect Ratio) Clear View LCD Monitor (1.04 Million Dots) for Improved Viewing.
-
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.
- Quick Control Screen Button for Easy Access to Frequently Used Settings.
-
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.
- Compatibility With SDXC Memory Cards, Plus Menu Status Indicator for Eye-Fi* Support
-
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
