Canon Introduces EOS Digital Rebel T2i DSLR And Four New PowerShots
PMA, which is America's largest camera show, is scheduled to start this month in California, and it's safe to say that a handful of new Canons will be there. Today, the camera outfit introduced its newest consumer-level DSLR, the Digital Rebel T2i. The DSLR has features that have been previously unavailable at these price points, including an 18MP CMOS sensor, Full HD video recording and selectable frame rates of up to 30fps.
The ISO ranges from 100 to 6400 (with a boost level to 12800) and there's also a 63-zone Dual Layer Metering System, and Canon's DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor. Canon is still maintaining their lead over Nikon in the video department with this one's ability to shoot at 1920x1080 and give consumers the option to select their preferred frame rate.
You'll also get an HDMI output, an expanded ± 5 EV exposure compensation range and a price of $799.99 without a lens. It will ship this March in a kit version as well for $100, which gets you an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens.
If you're not exactly in the market for a DSLR, Canon is also introducing four new PowerShot point and shoot cameras: PowerShot SX210 IS, PowerShot SD3500 IS, PowerShot SD1400 IS and PowerShot SD1300 IS. Details and pricing on these guys are listed below.
