The Amazing Features

on Feb10
by eos550d | Print the article |

Here are the amazing features that Canon T2i / Eos550D offer

18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor

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 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).

ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800)

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.

Awesome Movie Mode

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.

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; 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.

Bigger and Better LCD Monitor

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.

    I’ve found that the full HD video-recording is brought abruptly to an end when attempts are made to zoom. Anyone else having the same issue or is it the cheap SD card from Play.com that isn’t up to the job? (http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/5984413/Play-com-8GB-SDHC-Class-6-Memory-Card/Product.html)

    I never experienced that using the sandisk card. Apart from that, since the video has no autofocus capability, zooming won’t give you a good video result.

    Hello ive a question about the t2i.

    When im taking a picture the exposimeter does not move, always mark “0″, how can i activate the exposimeter of the camera to know if my light its fine????

    I already search in the manual but it tells me only how i can made this manually but the idea is that when you press the shooter at half the exposimeer automatically tell the exposure of the photo

    10 Feb

    The camera consider that the 0 scale on the EV give you the right exposure. But as you know it is not always correct. So for example after taking one picture you see that the 0 scale is underexposed, then you can make an EV compensation by sliding the scale to the right manually.

    I wish everyone a Happy New Year! I bought my T2i with the 18-55mm kit lens, a couple of days before Christmas-2010. I’m simply AMAZED at this camera! What also impresses me is there is sooo much support online and websites with communities dedicated to this camera and it’s capabilities. I truly feel I stepped into something good. I’ve been experimenting like crazy. Just did my first time-lapse video (thanks to this website!) as a test for when I will make some with my kids, light trails, keeping it mainly in Manual Mode so I can learn to capture the feel of the subjects/the moment. Imagine how time-consuming and expensive photography used to be when you had to pay to develop your own film! That was what kept me out of it in the past. Now, with a 4gb sd card, I am only limited by weather! Anyways, thanks for the tips on the time-lapse video, which worked perfectly, and know you’ve just inherited another fan who bookmarked your site. I wish everyone well.

    @Hassaan

    The quality of video that this camera produced is amazing, but you need to keep in mind that there is no auto focus in this camera and for a serious production you need some gear to stabilize your camera (it’s hard to hold the camera while looking at the screen without shaking)

    1) I read that many film maker recommend sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens. Consider also to rent the lenses from some online vendor (google is your friend).
    2) yes
    3) 12 minutes
    4) Depends on the capacity of your card. It takes about 330MB for one minute footage.
    5) I never use the battery completely on video, but for pictures it took about 500 pictures.
    6) The raw format is in .mov, you can edit it using adobe premiere or the newest Sony Vegas .
