Key Advantages
The Canon EOS Rebel T2i offers high-resolution 18MP imaging for detailed photos. It supports Full HD 1080p video capture which was advanced for its release time.

No built-in Wi-Fi or GPS means connectivity options are limited. Video recording has a recording time limit per clip, which may be restrictive for extended shooting.
