The Evolution Continues. The new flagship of the EOS Rebel line, the EOS Rebel T2i is an easy to use, lightweight SLR that's a joy to have, featuring a class-leading 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor and improved EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control, expanded recording options and a movie crop function. With increased light sensitivity for low light photography and the speed to capture up to 3.7 frames per second, the EOS Rebel T2i is ready to go the minute it's picked up. Gorgeous photos and Full HD movies are as simple as the press of a button. It's simply the best Rebel Canon has ever created. " 12 EOS SLR CAMERAS The Advanced Made Simple Created to make advanced photography simple, the EOS Rebel T2i represents the latest of Digital SLR technology. Featuring Canon's "Digital Trinity" of a Canon CMOS Image Sensor, ≥4 Image Processor and industry-leading optics, EOS Rebel T2i also includes a sophisticated HD Movie mode that captures gorgeous Full HD movies with ease. Whether it's the high-resolution 18.0 Megapixel sensor, the advanced AF system working in combination with amazing Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the increased low-light sensitivity, or the powerful 3.7 fps ability, the technology in the EOS Rebel T2i ensures simplicity, speed and precision every time, and delivers stunning quality from the start. And it produces images, in print and on the screen, with sharpness, clarity and color accuracy that will inspire, every time. High Image Quality The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) Image Sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, perfect for poster-sized enlarge- ments or significant cropping. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x angle of view (com- pared to 35mm format). The Canon CMOS Image Sensor ≥ 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the EOS Rebel T2i's camera functions for intuitive operation, working in concert with the image sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of performance - up to 3.7 fps! Thanks to the ≥4 Image Processor, the EOS Rebel T2i offers other improvements as well: It employs a 14-bit converter to process the output of the CMOS Image Sensor. 14-bit conversion means smoother tonal transitions, more natural gradations and spectacular color fidelity. Full HD Video Recording The EOS Rebel T2i captures HD video at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications, from home movies to professional shoots and everything in between. It can even capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second. It allows for full manual control over exposure and depth-of-field, which can have a profound effect on the mood of the moving image, and - in a first with Movies on an EOS camera - when shooting an SD quality movie (640 x 480) the EOS Rebel T2i can crop or magnify up to 7x the regular frame. Sound is recorded either through the LCD Monitor The EOS Rebel T2i has a 3.0-inch high resolution Clear View LCD monitor with the same aspect ratio (3:2) as the camera's sensor, making for huge, clear and easy Live View composition. It features a class-leading 1.04 million dots/VGA for spectacular detail. It also has an anti-reflective and water-repellant coating that provides a clear and smudge-resistant surface, plus 7 adjustable screen brightness levels that make the EOS Rebel T2i customizable for any situation. 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. Wide Range ISO Setting and High Speed Performance The EOS Rebel T2i's sensor is designed to maximize each individual pixel's light gathering efficiency, enabling the camera to capture a level of detail missed not only by many other cameras, but likely the human eye as well. The EOS Rebel T2i features an expanded ISO range up to 6400 (ISO 12800 expanded), making shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. And while an increased sensitivity to light enables shooting in dim light, the EOS Rebel T2i also shines when shooting action. With a 9-point AF sensor, a top shutter speed of 1/4000 sec, plus the ability to shoot up to 3.7 frames per second, the EOS Rebel T2i is as happy on the soccer field as it is in the living room.

Metering System The EOS Rebel T2i features a 63 zone, Dual-layer metering sensor designed to compliment the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the scene's color and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point(s), this system delivers an entirely new level of metering accuracy with an ideal balance of foreground and background information and natural color rendition no matter the composition. Easier Than Ever With its 3-inch wide screen, an improved button layout that includes a dedicated Live View/Movie mode button and direct access to the quick control screen, the EOS Rebel T2i is the most streamlined EOS Rebel ever created. Recording Media In addition to SDHC cards, the EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with SDXC memory cards for greater storage capacity. 13
