The Revenge of No More Excuses

Canon today announced the Rebel T2i , AKA the 550D . It’s an 18 megapixel entry-level DSLR for $800. It features all of the video modes of the Canon 7D and 1D Mark IV: 29.97, 23.976, and 25 fps at 1080p, along with 50 and 60 fps at 720p. I haven’t seen any samples of the video yet, although I’m sure we’ll soon be buried by them. UPDATE: Did I say soon? Here you go (also embedded below)—thanks Jay I’m sure we’ll also be treated to many loving comparisons of how image quality, noise, compression, etc., stand up to Canon’s other offerings. I would not expect the Rebel to represent any progress on the HDSLR shortcomings of rolling shutter and aliasing/moir
