Glad I got my Canon 7D before they came out with the Canon T2i (aka 550d, slated for the 24th of this month). I had enough trouble trying to decide between the Canon T1i (500d) and the 7D. Now they’ve narrowed the difference between the consumer and prosumer dslr’s even more.

 

In a nutshell, it looks like the T2i provides video capabilities that are on par with the 7D without upgrading the camera body itself. Unlike the T1i, the T2i gives you full manual exposure control as well as the ability to shoot at all the formats supported by the Canon 7D (eg 1080p24).

 

But, there’s no lcd display on top and the body is still plastic, not the more rugged (and bigger) magnesium alloy chasis of the Canon 7D.

 

There are other differences as well. The 7D can still fire more frames per second than the T2i (about twice as many). And the 7D has a 19 autofocus points compared to the T2i’s nine autofocus points.

 

But, for a thousand bucks less, I guess the Canon T2i is worth a look.

We had creative differences over the best way to get across the message for Natasha’s Etsy store.

 

Went to Chicago today for passport renewal.

Remarkably easy to make HDR images with Photomatix.
