Pros Large 2.5" LCD screen, 6X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons Weak flash, Some corner softness, and minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing)
Recommended it? Yes

Good but not Great

Pros Nice controls; great size; excellent focus; beautiful LCD screen; long battery life
Cons More digital noise than I expected.
Recommended it? Yes

I take pictures for both personal and professional use, and struggle with the need for portability versus taking the best possible pictures. The photos that I take professionally are published in magazines and are usually snapshots of people interacting with each other and touching various pieces... Read full review »

Pros Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable. 
Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
