Digital camera reviews of Canon Rebel T2 35mm SLR Camera with the EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens
Digital camera Review: Digital can NOT compare
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried digital. I really did. But I could never get the really gorgeous shots I got from my old Yashica SLR which gave up the ghost several years back. I also could not really "focus" on what I was shooting...just pointed and shot because there was no film to run out of. The result? Pointless pics that weren't even that good looking. Digital just didn't feel "right." So about 8 months ago I decided to go back to film. What to get? After much research, I finally decided on the Canon T2. Absolutely brilliant camera. My favorite feature? I can let the camera handle focus, etc. OR I can go COMPLETELY MANUAL. May not seem like a big deal, but it feels so good being in control of what the camera does when you want to be. And of course, that means letting your imagination go...something sorely lacking in digital. Couldn't be happier and no more pointless pics. Okay, maybe a few, but they still look good. And isn't that the point?Digital camera Review: Easy to use for techno-impaired
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera just before a trip to the Galapagos, where i knew i would take hundreds of photos, and did not have time to test it by shooting a roll before leaving. After reading the instructions in my typical cursory manner, i shot 8 rolls of film, and the photos were excellent. I found it lightweight, easy to set up and adjust, and the results are just wonderful. A great camera for 'lightweights' who are used to the old SLR unautomated heavy bodied cameras none of us carries around anymore.
Bought it with the case. THe only complaint i have is that the lens cap does not securely clip on, and kept falling up, to be retrieved by my colleagues behind me on the trails.... I need to get an attacher ring so that when it unclips, it does not fall off..
Digital camera Review: Excellent Camera, beautiful pictures.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this after switching from a digital camera. The digital cameras didn't offer the depth I wanted and not having proofs was a big drawback.
I am by no means an expert on photography, but I do know a great photograph when I see one, and this camera takes beautiful shots.
This is a beautiful camera. Elegant in design; the grey body with black accents is definately an attention grabber. People will look at your camera.
It definately has brains to back up it's beauty. Loading film is easy and quick. It has about 8 or so presets. There is the automatic "point and shoot" mode which you'll probably use the most. It automatically compensates for light, adjusting shutter speed and aperture for the perfect shot. The quick autofocus allows you to grab your shot quickly, without waiting for the camera to decide to take the picture.
It also has settings for portrait shots, close ups, night, landscape, no flash, and many others. Those are settings that maximize the camera's features for those particular shot. It also has a program setting where you can program shutter speed, aperture, flash and film advance. Though with the comprehensive presets, I don't think you'll ever need to use it.
The 28-90 lens that comes with the kit is nice, and has a selector for autofocus or manual focus. It also, of course, can be removed so you can add other lenses. The zoom is powerful and leads to beautiful shots.
Overall this is an unbelievable camera. Great price, features, and pictures will be the best you've ever seen. They are very crisp, clear and have almost a 3D lifelike quality to them, something I've never seen outside of a professionally taken photograph. This camera is awesome.
Digital camera Review: Excellent value in an SLR camera
Summary: 4 Stars
I am still being dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age so my most recent SLR camera was a film one. For the money, I don't think it gets any better than the Rebel T2. It has most if not all of the features of similar cameras by Nikon or Konica/Minolta but at a much better value. The camera takes excellent pictures and the focus is very fast. If I had to pick something to complain about, I would say the FPS is not quite the 3 frames/second that is advertised, but it is still faster then any similarly priced camera. For those looking for a simple yet powerful film SLR for less money than even an average digital camera, this is a great choice.Digital camera Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this camera. I am taking my first real photography class and this camera is perfect for such a class and for taking photos once I've finished the semester. I don't have to spend precious time trying to figure out which knob to turn or button to push. A quick read of the manual lets you know the basic functions and the camera really does a lot of the brain-work. The manual mode lets me fool around with things to get certain moods or feelings and the pictures are turning out great. A lot of the students are having a hard time reading their cameras' meters, but this camera's meter is really simple to read and very easy to see. The price was great and the quality is fantastic!
