For me an exploration into later photography technology. Camera is heavy. After reading the 'getting started notes' was able to commence usage and found the results very satisfactory and look forward to learing more about all the features.

This camera comes with a lot of easy-to-use features, which are comparable to semi-professional cameras such as the Canon 50D and 7D. It has a nice hand grip and the buttons are very ergonomical. You can actually do wonders in the Manual mode, changing many of the features as they suit your needs. The 18-55mm kit lens produces crisp, good quality images. The full 1080 videos it produces are outstanding!
As my first SLR camera, I have no way of comparing it to another SLR, but with my last camera (which was a point & shoot). This camera was advertised as a beginner's SLR; easy to use, and easy to learn. Pros: --18 megapixels!!! --Shoots in JPG and RAW modes --HD recording capability --Easy to learn and understand --Great software included in the box --Light and very comfortable in the hand --Its a DSLR (so it's expandable by getting more lenses) --GREAT battery life! Cons --Only can record for 30 minutes (but its camera first, not a camcorder, so is not much of a con) --Weak microphone (when recording)
Being a Nikon User for quite some time (using a D70s and D80), I bought the Canon Rebel T2i (550D) over the Nikon D90 for some for several reasons: 1. It has 18 mega pixels. The same CMOS censor and metering system found in much expesnive model, the Canon 7D (compered to Nikon's D90 14.2 mega pixel CMOS sensor) 2. 1080p HD video at 30 frames per seconds and 720p at 60 frames per second. (as of the D90 only has 720p) 3. External 1/8 stereo mic inputs (in which the Nikon has no external mic options) 4. Wide range of Canon L and EF lense that are compatable to this DSLR. Yes, I know the Nikon D5100/D7000 has a similar specs as of the Canon T2i but it's CMOS sensor is only 16 megapixels, plus you will find that the Canons T2i affordable price range is easier to your wallet than the D5100 kit. And since the T2i is a entry level DSLR, I find it alot more fun and easy to use than my Nikon D80 when it comes to taking picture, but my main reason of purchasing this is the awsome HD video you can get with this little DSLR.Read full review
