Canon unveils EOS Rebel T2i

[Admin]

Canon has unveiled the EOS Rebel T2i, its best-appointed Rebel class camera to date that offers many of the key features of the EOS 7D at a fraction of the cost. The T2i includes a 17.92 million image pixel CMOS sensor, fires at up to 3.7fps, sports 63-zone metering and 9-point AF systems, is compatible with both SD/SDHC and SDXC format memory cards and can capture 1080p video at 30fps (its other resolution and frame rate options are the same as the 7D, plus it incorporates a stereo external mic jack too).

18MP on an xxxD series camera? I hope Canon have spent a long time thinking about noise handling! I'm guessing this is a 500D replacement then? Or is it like the 40D and 50D, where they're sort of replacements, but not quite? And does anyone else not have the slightest idea of how the non-uk model naming system works?!

they're keeping the 500d and 1000d, but killing off the 450d.

"Going forward, the Rebel line will be comprised of three models: the EOS Rebel T2i(550D), EOS Rebel T1i(500d) and EOS Rebel XS( 1000d). The XSi (450d) is discontinued."

High ISO nightmare was my first thought too.
Hoewever, on dpreview there is a test shot taken at ISO 6400 - gotta say looking at the image full-frame that it looks pretty good - especially given this is 'only' an xxxD model!
I've no doubt the pixel peeping 100% crop will look dire, but it's how it look on an A3 print that counts.
