You can shoot sharper, clearer and without blur with Nikon’s ingenious Vibration Reduction. VR Image Stabilization detects and corrects for camera movement to give you rock-steady results time after time in lower light. So effective, it even lets you shoot in lower light. Less
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.

Pros Compact, solid, easy to use, great pictures.
Cons Proprietary battery, flimsy battery/memory card door.
Recommended it? Yes

When looking for a new camera, we wanted something small, easy to use, and that took good pictures. The Nikon Coolpix S500 was a great choice.

We wanted something small so that it would be easy to carry. Although we usually carry it in a dedicated camera case, the S500 is tiny enough to... Read full review »

Poor low-light performance

bygajozinho Apr 20, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks
Cons Poor low light and high ISO performance - extreme noise
Recommended it? No

There is more to hate about this camera than to like about it, especially given the price tag. In short, unless your lighting conditions are superb, you will be disappointed every single time.

I bought this camera in a rush. I thought, oh, it's a Nikon, how bad can it be? I was sorely... Read full review »

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...
