EOS Rebel T2i Highlights

18.0-megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops. This first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies as used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel's light-gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS Rebel T2i's camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T2i's CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of performance in nearly any situation.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights
Capture stunning shots in low light.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light
The EOS Rebel T2i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an ISO rating up to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities abound. Combine the EOS Rebel T2i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both movies and stills expand even further.

Improved EOS Movie mode with manual exposure control
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS Rebel T2i features HD Video capture technologies--manual exposure control for more creative control, for example--borrowed directly from professional Canon SLRs to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with an SLR. By shooting video with the EOS Rebel T2i, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of the creative features native to SLR cameras. Along with its manual controls, the EOS Rebel T2i allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics and remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions. In a first for EOS cameras, a Movie Crop function is included: An SD-quality movie (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular shooting.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights

Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS Rebel T2i's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 (59.94) fps). The EOS Rebel T2i has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone.

Enhanced 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system, and 9-point AF system
Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights
The EOS Rebel T2i features Canon's newest Dual-layer sensor, with 63-zones. By measuring not only the amount of light, but also taking into account color and luminosity, this new system delivers a very high level of accuracy for better results every time. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T2i gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as sports on a cloudy day, or indoor holiday scenes.

Additionally, the EOS Rebel T2i has a high-precision, 9-point AF system utilizing a high-precision, f/2.8 cross-type center point. The 9-point AF system uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually selected.

Wide 3.0-inch (3:2 aspect ratio) Clear View LCD monitor
The EOS Rebel T2i has a high-resolution 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor that features 1.04 million dots/VGA for spectacular detail. It also has the same aspect ratio (3:2) as the camera's sensor, making for clear and easy Live View composition. An anti-reflective and water-repellant coating provides a clearer and more smudge-resistant surface and screen brightness can be adjusted in 7 steps in accordance with ambient light.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights

New Quick Control Screen button
The EOS Rebel T2i's refined button layout includes a dedicated button that directs the camera immediately to the Quick Control screen, where it's simple to navigate among any number of settings, including ISO, Exposure and Flash Exposure compensation, drive mode, white balance, image quality and much, much more.

Improved layout with dedicated Live View/Movie shooting button
Without the need to navigate through a bunch of menus, the EOS Rebel T2i transitions effortlessly between still and movie mode. By pressing the Live View/Movie button, a situation that had required menu access with other cameras, still images can change to a movie shoot and vice versa. It's literally as simple as the press of a button.

3.7fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately 6 RAW
The EOS Rebel T2i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up to approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution JPEGs. Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T2i can capture even rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease.

New compatibility with SDXC memory cards
The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with both SDXC memory cards for greater storage capacity and with Eye-Fi SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and internal antenna for wireless, high speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T2i can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.
*Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including wireless transfer. In case of an issue with the Eye-Fi card, please consult with the card manufacturer. The use of Eye-Fi cards may not be available outside the United States and Canada, please contact the card manufacturer for territory availability.

Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses

Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights
EF Lenses
The EOS Rebel T2i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like the Canon Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses helps to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light. With a dizzying array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T2i with superlative Canon optics.

Best Camera I have Ever Owned

This is the first SLR camera that I have ever owned. I bought it because I was going on a trip around the world, wanted a nice camera, and had it recommended by a camera shop owner. It is extremely easy to use, so easy that I could hand the camera to someone in one of the countries I visited, point to the button they needed to push and I ended up with a great picture. I didn't need to explain a thing. I also didn't mind carrying it around all day, it is very light for its size.

I have owned the camera for four years now and it still takes beautiful pictures. I have taken all sorts of pictures with this camera, from landscapes to action shots and they all turn out great. The action shots are never blurry! The only complaint that I have is that the autofocus does not work well in low lighting, sometimes it is slow and sometimes it won't work at all. In these cases I just turn on the manual focus option.

All the options that the camera has are great, but to be honest I rarely use them. I've found that it is often easier to use manual focus than to adjust the camera so it will autofocus off center. If I know that I'm going to be taking action shots or landscapes I will set the camera to that mode, but often I forget and my pictures still look great.

I think that this is an excellent camera, especially for someone that is used to a point and shoot but wants the extra quality that a SLR camera can give them. There are also many choices when it comes to additional lenses, so when the photography bug gets you, this camera can stay with you.

Great way for amateurs to get into prime lenses

I never thought I could get by with just one focal length, but this lens hasn't left my D60 for more than a few hours since I got it quite some time ago.

This (relatively) cheap little lens is a great performer. I'm not quite ready to shell out the big bucks for the pro f/2.8 zooms, and this lens is a great way to match their performance without breaking the bank. [...] recently posted their review, and the numbers are even better than I would've guessed. I've noticed a marked improvement in the sharpness of my photos compared to the kit lens, and the reviews make it clear why. The kit lens is great stopped down a bit, but a lot of times there just isn't enough light to do that. With this lens stopped down just to f/2.8, it's incredibly sharp and you've still got plenty of light to work with.

On normal primes in general: they say everyone should have one, and now I see why. It eliminates two temptations that the kit lens offers: zoom and VR. Of course, both of those things are great tools, but it's tempting to use them as crutches. With this lens, you've really got to pay more attention to your composition and exposure. You can't just zoom to fit the subject into the frame--you've got to move, and once you're moving, you start coming up with compositions that you might not have thought of before. And all the while, you've got to keep an eye on your exposure--too often with the kit lens, I found I just left it wide open. Now, in dim light, you've actually got a bit of room, so you've got to think about whether you want the shot at f/1.8 or f/4.

the Nikon FM10!

I really hope that this short review is of some help to those who are out there searching for a nice and affordable camera to buy. There are so many to choose from and so many different ways, especially with shopping via the Internet, to purchase cameras that it helps to have someone help out. You'll find that the Nikon FM-10 is lightweight, but as durable as some cameras that are much more expensive.

 NIKON FM10 35mm Camera Kit

I am an avid photographer and I love two brands of cameras, Canon and Nikon. The Nikon FM10 is a durable and dependable 35mm film camera. The kit comes complete with everything you will need to begin your new photographic adventure. My only concern for people that are not VERY familiar with cameras, is that you might now realize that this model is not automatic like the newer versions. If you have the time to spend focusing your subject-then this is a camera that will perform consistently for you. If you are brand new to photography and would like for your camera to do all of the focusing and other adjustments, you're likely better off at least reviewing the newer versions of this SAME camera.

 NIKON FM10 35mm Camera Kit
I have used this camera over and over and over again. In all honesty, it's as good a camera as any at this level. The photos are always crisp and predictable and the body of the camera has held up well for over 7 years. I've found myself taking photographs and then the rain would come and soak myself and the camera. Even without proper water protection, the camera has not shown any problems or any sign of rusting.
NIKON FM10 35mm Camera Kit

You'll find it easy to load your film and quite easy to get used to taking great pictures. The lens that is included with the Camera Kit is a very good one and will serve most of your needs. There is a great array of additional lenses and other products that you can buy to add to you Nikon FM10.

The camera was launched to the public, as the Nikon FM-10 in 1995. A magazine that I like to read, Popular Photography, felt that Nikon could have done a bit better with this camera outfit-but that was ONLY their opinion. But In 1996, an automatic version of the lightweight FM10, the Nikon FE-10 was also being introduced as a continuation model to the discontinued Nikon FE-2. The FE-2 was retired in 1986. For many Nikon fans, mixed feelings were abundant about the original launch of the NIKON FM-10. But few could argue that the general mechanics of the camera are good to outstanding.
NIKON FM10 35mm Camera Kit
Take your time in researching the right camera for you. I think that this would be a great camera for students who are taking an introductory photography class. With Automatic-Everything Cameras, it's too easy to swith to "AUTO" when you're learning how to take photographs in a class. The Nikon FM10 would allow the new student to "focus" on the true and important elements of photography that are extremely helpful to an aspiring photographer.

I hope this was helpful at least in part. It was a pleasure to share information with you and I'd be happy to entertain questions about anything that I've missed in this review.

Nikon FM10 35mm SLR Camera with 35-70mm Lens

excellent, easy to use manual camera

This 35mm is pretty much the perfect college kid film camera. It wont spoon feed you when it comes to learning, which will really help you in the long run. In the age of "press this button and you're focused", this camera is one of the few 35mm's left that doesn't have AF. Also wont change exposure levels to what the camera suggests(such as AV or TV mode some cameras have), this gives you the freedom to be creative as some shots have a whole different mood if underexposed a stop or overexposed a bit. As for manual focus, it's something you need to be able to do as a photographer. Sometimes the computer in your camera just doesn't focus perfectly on that eye you want in focus, or for something as precise as macro photography which has very shallow depth you're going to need pinpoint accuracy that a computer can not do for you.

This lens is great because it's like the vintage 35mm except you don't have to worry about the light meter or any other small part inside of it being broken. Nor do you have to worry about the image quality. The kit lens in this camera is very sharp. It's a bit limiting considering it's f/3.5 so that rules out really low light(but grain can be good, unlike noise in digital; grain has an artistic quality), but considering the price and the quality of the whole kit it's great.

Sure you can get a used one from the 70's or 80's for way cheaper, but chances are something is broken in that thing and you may not know until you've invested 2 hours developing the first roll in your class...

So shell out a little bit extra and get this, it's worth it.  Buy Now!!

Great camera, best price for nikon fm10 35mm camera


The camera is over my expectations! And I have some good ones! Although it is completely manual, it is not so difficult to use (I read the manual in about 10 minutes ...). I could make some very good shots, even in unfavorable lighting conditions. It is a very good camera for those who are taking pictures with their own way, like instead of just pushing a button and hoping it goes ok. In addition, a digital camera almost as good as that is probably at least twice as expensive.

It is easy to use, but you have to be thoroughly familiar with F-stops / shutter speed / ISO film combinations to really take advantage of its versatility. The 35-70mm lens is convenient, Particularly when you are experimenting with camera angles and frame composition. The razor sharp, full color prints are a delight to see.

Nikon FM10 - Beginners Perspective.You might be in the same situation I was, ready for the world of photography, but a tad short on the knowledge and equipment that goes into making great photos. After some online research, I found the FM10.
The FM10 was perfect for me, and could be for you too. This camera set, equipped with a good photography book, provides the foundation that will turn you into a great photographer. I soon learned correct composition, exposure and vocabulary like f / stops, shutter speeds, etc. This camera will teach you the process that most automatic cameras hide.
The 35mm-70mm lens is an ideal to start out with, with enough range to capture your subject. The average rating aperature makes shots a bit easier too.
Overall, if you want a camera for Quicksnap shots and ease of mind photography, then go buy a digital camera. The FM10 is fully manual, meaning you will be changing all the settings, which is more ideal for control over artistic image. This is an excellent choice for begingings to learn all the basics, just be prepared to make a lot of mistakes and learn a lot:)
Hope this helped.BUY NOW!

Editorial Reviews

The Nikon FM10 with 35-70 mm Nikkor Lens is a totally manual 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera--great for those who want to learn the mechanics of photography from the ground up. Without fancy computerized features to confuse or override your personal artistic choices, the Nikon FM10 relies on the photographer to do most of the thinking, but it does offer a depth-of-field preview and a center-weighted light metering system. Focus and aperture are manual, and you can select film speeds down to 1/2000 second. You also have manual film wind and rewind, allowing you to create double exposures or rewind your film midroll. The Nikon FM10 has a built-in hot shoe that is compatible with just about any Nikon Speedlight flash. Also included are a carrying case, a strap, batteries, and a manufacturer's one-year parts and labor warranty. From the Manufacturer The Nikon FM10 is a basic, manual SLR/lens combo with match-diode metering and the venerable F lens mount, applicable to all Nikons since 1959. Together with the 35-70mm zoom lens, a beginner has an inexpensive way to learn creative SLR photography in a camera with the Nikon F mount, used by professionals worldwide for decades.

  • Depth-of-field Preview - Using through-the-lens SLR viewing, and being able to see the range of sharpness is an exciting way for the new photographer to visualize depth-of-field
  • Double Exposures - Double exposures can be lots of fun, and with creative thought and careful preparation, great pictures can result
  • Daylight, Night-time and Indoors - Built-in ISO hot shoe will accept just about any Nikon Speedlight for manual flash operation or non-TTL auto

Customer Reviews

A return to basics- with Nikon quality5 I've been using Nikons for over 20 years, starting with my first used and battered Ftn. Over that time I've a accumulated a dozen Nikkor lenses and numerous accessories, as well as an assortment of bodies. One thing that's been missing in recent years from the Nikon line is a reasonably priced entry-level manual camera. The cheaper Nikons have tended to be fully automated cameras, and the cheapest manual Nikon still being made was, until recently, the FM2 at well over $500. If you work the way I do, you need a manual camera and don't have a lot of use for automation and autofocusing. If you own an old Nikon and some old Nikkor lenses, you may want a simple manual camera body that can accomodate them. If you're a student starting out, or an artist on a budget, you need a manual camera. If you fit into any of these categories, the FM10 is a great choice. It may not be as rugged as a $1200 F3 or a $2500 F5, but it's well made and should last many years. I'm not a fan of zoom lenses for my own work, but the included 35-70 is a good quality lens with a useful range, and you can add more lenses if you need them. All in all, a good value and a long-needed inexpensive entry into the Nikon system. AWESOME!!!5 This is the best camera ever, when compared to others the FM10 blew it away, the FM was much more durable and takes better pictures (my friend has one of the competitors) and now that she's seen mine, she is very jealous! The pictures are outstanding. Built to last and if you're a beginner to a pro I think you'll be pleased! I was just starting out as a photographer and now after 2 years I still can't put it down. If you're thinking about buying this camera, don't, just get it!! Great fully manual 35mm5 This 35mm is pretty much the perfect college kid film camera. It wont spoon feed you when it comes to learning, which will really help you in the long run. In the age of "press this button and you're focused", this camera is one of the few 35mm's left that doesn't have AF. Also wont change exposure levels to what the camera suggests(such as AV or TV mode some cameras have), this gives you the freedom to be creative as some shots have a whole different mood if underexposed a stop or overexposed a bit. As for manual focus, it's something you need to be able to do as a photographer. Sometimes the computer in your camera just doesn't focus perfectly on that eye you want in focus, or for something as precise as macro photography which has very shallow depth you're going to need pinpoint accuracy that a computer can not do for you. This lens is great because it's like the vintage 35mm except you don't have to worry about the light meter or any other small part inside of it being broken. Nor do you have to worry about the image quality. The kit lens in this camera is very sharp. It's a bit limiting considering it's f/3.5 so that rules out really low light(but grain can be good, unlike noise in digital; grain has an artistic quality), but considering the price and the quality of the whole kit it's great. Sure you can get a used one from the 70's or 80's for way cheaper, but chances are something is broken in that thing and you may not know until you've invested 2 hours developing the first roll in your class... So shell out a little bit extra and get this, it's worth it.

Review Nikon FM10 SLR w/ 35-70 zoom SLR camera


Review Nikon FM10 SLR w/ 35-70 zoom SLR camera

The Nikon FM10 is a basic SLR that's completely manual in operation - film is advanced with single lever stroke winding and rewinding is done with a lift-up crank on the top of the body. Focusing is accomplished via an accurate center located horizontal field split microprism and matte field.

Once film is loaded, the ISO speed must be set on a scale located in the shutter speed dial. When the desired shutter speed is set, the camera is manually focused, and while the shutter release is pressed partially down, turn the aperture ring until a green LED lights up on the left side of the viewfinder, indicating the proper exposure.

When a red (+) or (-) shows either the aperture or shutter speed must be adjusted. Now fully press down the shutter release to take the picture. There is no built-in flash, but it has a standard hot shoe for an optional accessory flash unit.

The black body is texturized and has a pronounced bulge in the front right for easy gripping. Both the lens focusing and zooming are smooth and easy. Test pictures were properly exposed under varied light levels from bright daylight outdoors to indoor existing light using the built-in LED metering. All images had good detail at both wide and telephoto lens settings and a range of different subject distances. This model comes with Eveready homes.

The Nikon FM10 is a workhorse model room has been on the market for a number of years and has been a reliable product and a good learning tool for individuals who want to learn photography by making most of the needed adjustments and settings themselves, instead of Allowing automation to do everything.In Stock at Amazon BUY NOW!
