Canon Rebel - T2i Vs T3i
Canon has just added a twist to the decision to buy a Canon Rebel digital SLR camera. Now you have to choose between the Canon Rebel T3i or T2i. Many who are adding their opinions on the release of the new T3i are speculative about whether Canon made the wrong move because, from first appearances, it does not look like a customary Canon Rebel upgrade. Make sure you stick with this discussion in its entirety, because you will find that there are some subtle changes here that may sway your buying decision. Each review should examine a camera's main features first. The image sensor and processor are the exact same in both cameras. That means that there will be no advantage for either when it comes to image quality. In addition, other aspects are one and the same in each of the cameras. The T3i has the same ISO settings, as well as the same video feature. The ability to capture 3.7 still frames per second is the same, too. The first major difference comes in the LCD panel. The new tilt-panel LCD screen is the one feature that everyone draws attention to first. It has been very popular on the Canon 60D, and it may just be what brings out your wallet, too, when it comes to the T3i. So a swivel LCD screen is indeed a large advantage for the Canon Rebel T3i. A second advantage for the new model is the ability to fire multiple flashes remotely when taking a photo. This remote flash feature does not seem like something you would find on an entry-level digital SLR. Third on the list of added features is in the video category. You can now employ the "movie digital zoom" to zoom in to the center of the image by a factor of 3x to 10x without any degradation of the video quality. Plus there is now total manual control of focus while shooting. Let's Get Creative Those are some of the subtle differences, but perhaps the biggest changes when comparing the Canon Rebel T3i vs T2i are in the camera software. The T3i has some very creative features for the new digital SLR photographer. The first one is part of the video component. You can now take some short clips and the camera will combine them into a single video right in the camera. You take 2, 4, or 8 second clips, as many as you want, and the camera does the rest. Another creative feature is something called Basic+. Inside Basic+ there are two creative output choices. The first is choosing an ambience setting and the second is shooting by lighting or scene type. If you choose the ambience setting, the camera does its thing by changing the color and saturation along with sharpness and contrast to create the selected ambience for that shot. If you choose the lighting or scene setting, there will be changes applied that are called Creative Filters that can result in 5 separate types of effects. The results are Grainy Black and White, Miniature, Soft Focus, Toy Camera effect, and the ever-popular Fish-eye effect. Saving the most helpful characteristic for last, many who are new to digital SLR photography will treasure the Feature Guide that is now part of the Canon T3i software. This guide gives a brief description of the chosen mode or feature so that you don't have to go searching for the manual or do an Internet search to find out what the feature is.
