The newspaper where I used to work had a T2i. It's a capable camera. Yes, it has limitations (the high ISO images lose quite a bit of colour and sharpness) but if you're shooting in well-light areas you'll get nice pictures.
Just got a T2i last week at a thrift. No charger so unable to test. However, it did have battery, lense, and 32Gb card so took a flyer. Had an OEM charger in the stash (I buy all Canon chargers when I see them). Woohoo! I works like a charm. It had some vacation pictures on it so I don't think the shutter count is astronomical. Mine for $30.
I'm still using my canon t2i too. I just love it so much and the size is just right. I bring it on field and take macro photos of plants, insects etc. Can you recommend any macro lens for t2i?
@@MattsNotes Im using canon 60mm macro lens. It has been awesome especially when taking photos of the smallest parts of the plants. even the hairs are obvious. It's like a camera/ hand lens in one. But im considering the 85mm f/1.8 usm. should I buy that or stick to my trusty pal?
Camera prices are on the rise again! I actually used two different t2i cameras in this video, and both of them were 35 dollars. Now the cheapest is $150! Wtf! Lol
@@MattsNotes prices are still pretty low in Australia at the moment. Trying to make the most of it 😅💸 but hey ,no surprise... “Matt’s notes” has made the price skyrocket 👌👌👌 keep going man 🙏🙏
@@shutterslaps4938 i bought one at 100 euros with a 28-55 buy the body and the lens have fungus and the af is not working, over all i think it's a great camera and since its my first dslr i find it very different than using my phone
Snagged a t2i with the kit lens for $200 this week off eBay. Couldn't pass it up. Didn't come with a charger but that should be arriving tomorrow. So in total I paid like $240 (including tax) for everything.
I’m about to get a t2i because if this video! I shoot car photography and want to start making some short videos. What lens would you recommend for car photography and videos? Like a prime lens 50mm?
Thanks for the love! I love the t2i with the 10-18 stm lens (nearly the only lens I use haha). The 50mm is good and cheap too! I'd also recommend the canon 28 f1.8 (with the crop sensor it's a bit wider than the 50) and the canon 70-300 full frame ultrasonic lens
Hey guys, I just got my first T2i. I was wondering if someone could point me into the right direction of acquiring a set of lenses that dont make it look so close! Such a noob, help would be much appreciated!
Assuming you already have the 18-55mm IS (STM?) kit lens, the best wide angle converter is the VIEWO 0.7X 58mm. It make your kit lens behave with view angles just like that of a FULL FRAME camera. It the 0.7X Viewo is no longer be available then a low cost 0.43x Wide Angle lens with macro could be an alternative. Buying the 67mm version + a 67mm to 58mm adapter ring (instead of a 58mm version) will give you a wide angle convertion without any Vignetting.
I think a good prime like the "plastic fantastic" 50mm f1.8 (or any variation of it cheap or expensive) is an awesome choice to keep around, and a nice wide angle: either the 14mm f2.8 rokinon or the canon 10-18 are my favorites!
for photos hell yes, color accuracy is still better in this sensors.. and video id say iphones video are sharper .. even when it´s not a pleasnt sharpness..still colors are better in t2i video
It's my special camera too and it's been with me since it's release. It's also my first DSLR! I'm considering selling it with grip and all, not too sure and especially after watching this video. I also have like 6 EFS lenses (Canon 60mm, Tokina 11-16mm, Canon 24mm, Rokinon Fisheye, ect). Great channel keep it up!
Thanks for your comment! I understand your exact dilemma lol. Those are all solid pieces of glass and it'll be hard to find a use for them without a Canon crop body!
@@MattsNotes Indeed, I'm going to keep it for my photography. Other OG digital cameras I got are the Pentax K-01, Olympus OMD EM5 Mark 1, Canon 6D Mark 1, Canon 5D Mark 1
@@0zaree100 all of those are great cameras! I just traded my 5dii for a 6d and I'm loving it! As for the t2i, it's hard to part with for me too. I may have to keep around for a magic lantern experiment. PS: My buddy over at "shutter slaps" did a fun little video on the Em-5! If you find yourself there in your downtime, tell em I sent ya lol!
@@MattsNotes Excellent camera the 6D. I recommend the 24mm pancake for the T2i it's a nice combo. hah! I know who Shutter Slaps is, I'm subscribed. Cheers!
install magic lanter and you will have lots of new features, includen RAW info histogram, intervalometer, using the sensor to shoot, dual iso photo etc etc
I love shooting manual lens because it teaches you how to take photos instead of relying on auto focus. It mames you a little more slow and methodical

That is cool! Are ya still at that paper? What are they using now?
@@MattsNotes Actually, I got fired...oops, ha ha. Not sure what they're using now.
Had mine since it came out. Still a great camera. Upgraded this year to a Sony A7IV but still have the canon
LOL, fleshlight packaging in the canal. Someone sure was in a rush, lol.
Got mine at GoodWill for $8.99 with battery, lens and mirror clean! Def great back up for vlogging and video shots!
Unreal! What an awesome Goodwill find!
holy only 9 dollars 🥲🥲
you can buy one of those dummy batteries to keep it connected to the outlet and not worry about battery
I am getting this one and a pretty decent lense with it for just basic hobby photography 🙂

30 dollars is a steal for the t2i! I thought I was the only one to collect batteries and chargers for cameras when I see them lol

That's awesome to hear! First off, do you have a macro setup right now? And what lenses are you generally using?

Is your Canon T2i still connecting to your computer with the canon USB cable? Mine is not connecting to any computer i have.
I'll give it a go! Last time I checked it was
@@MattsNotes I figured out its either my USB port or the motherboard its connected to...was able to get a 2nd T2i off Ebay Super cheap.
