Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Rebel T2 35mm SLR Camera with the EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 III Zoom Lens
Customer 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.
Customer Review: Nice!
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at digital cameras for months - literally - before I just decided to lug around a 35 mm SLR. As everyone probably already knows, megapixels matter a whole lot when you're talking about blowing a picture up to a larger size. What's great about film is that unless the picture was taken out of focus, or in bad light, you can use a negative to blow something up and the quality really doesn't start to go down until you're making HUGE prints. (How huge exactly I don't know, but the biggest I've blown up was around 4x4 feet, and still no trouble.) The prints I've gotten out of this camera so far have been stellar. ( I use fuji film -- I think it's better than Kodak, even though Kodak has better commercials. Give it a try!)
The camera itself is not too heavy, granted, it's not the convenience of a tiny digital camera, but it's not as bad as I'd expected to carry it around all day. The neck strap is nice, the manual is actually easy to comprehend. I like a camera that has buttons for a lot of it's features on the body -- it seems complicated at first, but once you know how to use the features, they're much easier to access than they would be if you were scrolling through a menu. The T2 seems worth the hundred or so more dollars than you would pay for the very similar Rebel K2 by Canon.
One thing - make sure you take the batteries out if you're not going to be using it for a week or more. It seems like they go dead if they're in the camera, even if it is off.
Customer Review: A Wonderful Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Some years ago I bought a Canon Rebel, one of the earlier ones, it was not so great, kept if for a while and then sold it.
I have been into digital for some time now, but, its great, but it is not film, not by any chance.
I have a very old point and shoot, I started taking pictures with either Kodak of Fuji film, I then brought it into my one hour developer and had the negs developed and digitized onto a CD.
The results were gorgeous, at that point it was time for a new SLR, there are not so many left right now.
I saw The Eos Rebel T2 with the 28-90 Mark III zoom lens, it was impressive, light, but with just a touch of heft, great grip,viewfinder, very fast autofocus, it even looks great.
So forgetting my previous experience with a Rebel a long time ago I bought.
This is a superb camera, this is just no way to praise it, I love this camera.
Since getting it I,ve shot 10 rolls of film, all were digitized onto a disc, touched up where I felt they needed it, (a simple procedure.
I shot a roll in a hanger at a former Naval Aviation Base here, all kinds of aircraft were in different stages of reconstruction,it was a photographers paradise.
The results I am getting are better than a very expensive digital camera.
I cannot recommend the T2 even more, if you want one get it now, I think these cameras will be gone soon.
Canon you did great job.
Customer Review: I LOVE IT

YO! This camera is just perfect for those getting into photogrophy! Although im only 14 years old, I know what i'm talking about. I have had this camera for 3 weeks now and it is just inspirational. I got into photogrophy from Transworld Skateboarding Magazine. The photogrophers have amazing pics! Truly inspirational! I'm leaving for christmas to go to England next week and can't wait to shoot some nice pics. I tend to favor fast action pics. With Al Servo (funtion automatically set in sports mode) i can just point and shoot and the camera automatically adjusts the focus of the object during the pictures. I love to customize. The easiest customization setting that i always use for outdoor action pics is the Tv mode. This mode allows you to customize the shutter speed. First make sure you are in a bright lighted area to ensure fast shutter speed. The brighter the area is the faster the shutter speed you can set. I like to hold down the shutter button for a rapid fire of 3 frames per second. Awesome! I love the sound of instant photos. I cannot even descride what it is like. Try it out! The T2 is a great camera for begginers at a great price. Remember this review is only a "guideline". It would be good to make a decision on your own. If you try hard and can't come to a decision, that is when you can rely on other peoples opinions.

Customer 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?
