Digital can NOT compare.......2007-04-13

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?

Outstanding SLR.......2007-01-10

Having just gone back to using a film camera from digital (my wife still uses digital) I have found this to be an excellant camera so far. I have taken 6 rolls of film and everyone one has came out perfect. I would recommend it.

Works as advertised.......2006-07-29

I recently purchased the Rebel T2 camera body only after my Canon EOS Rebel 2000 gave its "last gasp". I had been a Canon user since 1979 with an AE-1 (that I still have).

I liked the fact that the T2 body plugged immediately into the two EF lenses that I owned (28-80mm and 75-300mm), which protected my previous investments. I was taking pictures within seconds of opening the package and loading batteries. And although I have my sights set on a Digital Rebel at some point soon, you just can't beat the quality of traditional 35-mm film and photoprocessing.

As an upgrade over EOS Rebel 2000, the LCD located on the camera back is easier to read. Also, the T2 seems more "solid" to me, but lighter in weight. I took the older EOS Rebel 2000 with me on a couple 75-mile backpacks (which probably led to its early demise), and so I now have a new-found respect for the lighter design.

As a final note, I also appreciated the ease of ordering via amazon.com. There are plenty of web sites offering the same Canon T2 camera back, including those which would have saved me a few dollars. But none had the long-standing relationship I have had with amazon over the past several years.

Excellent Camera, beautiful pictures........2006-03-29

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.

More than good enough.......2006-02-19

After researching several cameras in this price range, I bought the Rebel T2 last month. It has met my expectations and perhaps then some. After recently trying out a friends camera in the 150.-ish range, I partially regret spending what I did. It all comes down to what you need, want, and how many bells and whistles you like. For the money though, compared to the competitors, I still think I made a good purchase. After all, if I use it for ten years, which I most likely will, I will have surely got my moneys worth. Bottom line: no complaints with it.
