Users of the Canon T2i will most likely carry the camera with them on vacations and sightseeing as it is on our list of recommended cameras for travel. As part of the field review, the Canon T2i was tested for just such a thing out in Long Island, New York. For what it’s worth, the camera did hold up well. However, it does have some quirks.
The Field Review of the Canon 7D is now over, and the camera has my personal recommendation for best APS-C sensor camera. As a compliment to the 5D Mk II, it works well due to the cropped sensor, faster frame rates, video options, wireless flash controls, etc. More on all this as well as the compilation and thoughts after the jump.
Recently, my buddies over at NerdBlerp.com invited me over to come to their Podcast. Being the camera geek that I am, I volunteered to use it to test the video abilities of the T2i and the 7D. So how do they fare? Check out the video above and keep reading for some more insights.
Most readers of The Phoblographer have entry-level DSLRs (like the T2i) or very high ones (like a 5D Mk II). After spending quite some time with the Canon T2i, I’ve realized that there are a couple of items that people buying this camera should get their hands on to get the very best out of it. In addition, it will probably totally be, “all that they need” as many people in this segment of the market want one camera and won’t replace it for years. Either way, here are some great items for users to get no matter what your photography level.
With the release of Leica’s new V-LUX 20 camera, it has quickly been deduced that it is really just a Panasonic ZS-7. Leica and Panasonic have a close relationship like this, as they have done previously with the LX-3 and the D-LUX 4 (the latte was previously reviewed here). The V-LUX 20, like the ZS-7 is aimed towards photography enthusiasts that tend to travel often and want to have a compact camera. Though I haven’t had time with the V-LUX 20 yet, one can expect that when reviews come out, they will be very similar to that of the ZS-7. That said, here’s a round-up of my ZS-7 field review postings and findings.
The Canon T2i was used recently as part of the field review doing something that many Rebel users do: shoot parties and get-togethers. Go to nearly any restaurant or party in NYC and you will see people using their Canon Rebel cameras as they steadily are replacing point-and-shoots as the cameras of choice. A complete gallery, as well as full analysis after the jump.
The Canon T2i has been sent to me for a little while for a field review. As the latest entry into the Canon Rebel line of camera, the T2i is one powerful little camera in a small package. First impressions are after the jump.
During the reviews of the Nikon D300s, D3s and D3x, the 70-200mm F2.8 ED VR II almost always was around. It is an excellent lens for the Nikon system and users will be very satisfied with the results they get. Conclusions are after the jump.
The Canon 60D has been a hot topic of conversation as has the 1Ds Mk IV. Photographers everywhere are wondering what it is going to be like since the T2i and the 7D really do fill the niche to take on any possible competitors. Here’s what seems plausible so far.
Canon 5D Mk II firmware 2.0.3 was well received and I previously demoed what it was capable of. For users that say that the 50mm F1.8 II is a terrible lens, consider it for video in the video I shot for 2D-x.com.
