Canon Rebels?

[Mongomil]

WOW I saw this thread down here and thought I could get some info. Hmm has not been used in a long time lets see. Well I belive I have talked the wife into letting me get a new DLSR. Now I was looking at the Canon Rebel T2i. I want to stay with canon because I have other lenses to go with it. Is the T3i have enough upgrades/updates to spend the extra on it or is the T2i just fine? I am just a beginer/intermediate shooter. I am always trying to learn and I usally do. So any info on either of those would be handy. Thanks.

T3i is essentially the same camera as the T2i except for the new swivel screen and improved kit lens. Whether or not these will be useful to you depends on your personal creative needs. The articulating screen is handy for video but probably not worth the extra cost if you primarily shoot stills.

T3i

Congrats on the greenlight for a new camera. Like monorail lime said, the T3i is the same as the T2i with the articulating screen. I have the 60D and found a great use for the articulating screen at Disney. With a 7 year old daughter who is a roller coaster junkie, we are usually late getting to parades and such. So if I end up behind someone, i can pick the camera up above the the folks in front and use the articulating screen to frame my shot. Not earth shattering and not sure if that feature is worth the extra $$ to you, but it can be really nice. As far as the lens, it kinda depends on the glass you already have.

I'm a little late to the party here , but the T3i does have a much better menu system for those new to DSLR cameras

its about $100 more than the ti2 if you look around , it might be worth it for the new easier to understand menus

People always forget that the T3i has a wireless flash commander...not necessarily a feature you use right away when new but certainly comes in handy when expanding your skills.
