Key Advantages

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i offers an 18-megapixel sensor delivering high-quality photographs with excellent detail and low noise. Its DIGIC 4 processor ensures fast operation and accurate color reproduction. The camera's 9-point autofocus system provides reliable focusing performance, including a cross-type point for precision. Full HD 1080p video recording at multiple frame rates enables versatile multimedia capture. A large and bright 3-inch LCD screen enhances image review and menu navigation. Compatibility with Canon EF and EF-S lenses provides a broad lens selection for various photographic needs.

Limitations

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i records video with autofocus limitations as AF is disabled during full HD recording, requiring manual focus adjustment. The continuous shooting speed maxes out at 3.7 frames per second, which is modest compared to some competitors. It lacks built-in Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity, limiting modern wireless transfer and geotagging features. The LCD screen does not have a touchscreen interface, which can affect ease of use. The ISO sensitivity, while good, may produce noticeable noise at higher expanded settings. Additionally, the camera does not have a built-in flash with advanced features found in newer models.
