AhmedElyamani Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well , If you ask for the best of these two , Then I'll say Canon EOS Rebel T2i , this will be your option if you don't care about money .. But if i was you , i'd buy a Nikon D3100 , As it's really a good one , not better Than Canon actually , But it's Cheaper .. I know this didn't really help a lot , But : IF the money doesn't matter , Then buy The Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitenurse79 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Canon is always my first option for digital cameras. I would go for an EOS Rebel. I would also recommend Boltbait's plug in pack too Edited November 27, 2011 by nitenurse79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Canon by far superior. ciao OMA edit at least in my opinion all depends on what type of images you wish to produce. both are really good cameras I'm just partial to Canon, as that's what the last 3 major purchase cameras for me have been.

BoltBait Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm leaning toward the Canon. But, I'm curious how these cameras perform in low light situations.

david.atwell Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Everyone talking about price...didn't you say they were both in a similar price range? As for me, I'd go with the Canon. They have (from what I've heard) better support for alternate lenses, etc. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

HELEN Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Canon, most definitely. I only have Canon cameras--my older brothers did the research and I trust their judgment and choices (for the most part). By the way, they're cheaper online, unless you prefer buying at a physical location.

yellowman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Don't know if you decided or not yet, But T3i is on sale in BestBuy for 3 days, tomorrow "Tuesday" is the last day. I saw it today I think the only difference between T2i and T3i is that T3i has an articulated LCD, which I love.

BoltBait Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well, my plans had to change. Unfortunatly, my son spilled an entire 16oz Mt. Dew soda directly into my old laptop. I was able to save the SSD, but the rest of the machine was a dripping sticky mess. I took the money I had set aside for a camera and replaced my laptop. I replaced it with this one: Toshiba Ultrabook plus and external USB Blu-Ray player/DVD burner. Oh well, at least I have a new laptop. EDIT: Does anyone have a suggestion for free DVD authoring software? I'd like to take some of these movies I've filmed with my iPod and digital camera, edit them in Windows Movie Maker (or other software?) and burn them to DVD with chapters and menus, etc. Suggestions, anyone?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 To be honest the only ones I've tried are Windows Movie Maker + Windows DVD Maker . They do the job simply and cleanly. Burning the finished movie to DVD with Windows DVD Maker (and adding the menus) was easier that editing the movie. The first time I started using the applications I had something reasonable after only 30 minutes. Complete with an animated DVD menu, intro and a 45 minute clip from a colleagues camera.
