I have used Canon cameras for years and my first venture into DSLR was this camera. I must say I am not disappointed. Good battery life, light weight, very responsive with a wide range of manual settings. Well worth the price and more!

What's great about it: Easy to use, great functions and price.
What's not so great: Focusing noise when shooting Video.
I have had my T2i for a couple months now and have really enjoyed it. I previously had a Rebel 2000 film, then upgraded to the Rebel XT (digital) and used that for 5 years and had a great time with both, so I knew I wanted to stick with a Canon.
I went with the T2i over the T1i because of the mega-pixels and the reviews all said to get the new one. I went with the T2i over the 7D because it was cheaper and didn’t lose too much functionality, plus it was a little bit smaller in size and weight. The T2i also had the same size/style lenses as my other SLRs and I was able to utilize other lenses that I have purchased for my older cameras (which I wouldn't have been able to with the 7D without buying adaptors).
I am a semi-professional photographer so I needed something that has better quality than a point and click camera. Thus far I have been very impressed with the quality and many of the features. I have also been impressed with the battery life of the LP-E8 battery; I have only needed to charge it once in the 2 months I have owned it. Although I prefer to look through the view-finder, I like the ability to also use the screen as well. I also like the Burst-mode capability, for taking portraits it can be very useful. The only thing that I can think to complain about is when you are shooting the HD video. Depending on what you are recording, the camera may feel the need to refocus, which makes a noise that is picked up by the microphone (therefor is in the recording). Other than that, it is easy to use and works great.
I have also bought/received some accessories for it and am loving it even more!

Review 3 for Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18.0-Megapixel DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm Lens - Black
What's great about it: Great quality and price; easy to navigate through menus and set up
What's not so great: Nothing, so far.
The Canon T2i is small but mighty. It does all the things my pro-colleagues can do, even if I don't know how to do them--yet. For anyone who is dragging their feet and hesitating to buy a DSLR, I encourage you to jump in and do it. I choose to work with smaller, less cumbersome equipment, and this camera fits the bill. I love how my digital images leaped in quality immediately, and with zero lag time--that alone is worth it. I recommend getting the flash, too. I spent about a week without one, and though the built in flash is great in a pinch, the external unit is essential in many situations. Thanks, too, to Best Buy for honoring the sale price after the camera was unavailable for so long. Don't forget to buy the skylight filter and an extra lens cap (just in case).

What's great about it: picture quality, size, ease of use
What's not so great: auto-focus process can be lengthy, video stops recording at times
the Canon Rebel T2i is a great DSLR camera. It gives me phenomenal photographs and spectacular video. The on-board microphone is better than I was expecting it to be (though to record more than just life-activities I would use a different microphone). Switching lenses is very easy, and the battery life is a lot longer than I expected.
The only real complaints I have are that the auto-focus feature does not always work and I find myself switching to manual focus just to get a shot before the moment is gone. there are also times when the video recording will stop (i assume because of the level of ambient noise behind the camera) that I have to be careful about.

What's great about it: Easy to use, awesome picture quality for just over a year.
What's not so great: Exposure quit working properly after 16 mths, then all pics were over exposed, no matter what the setting.
I LOVED this camera for about 16 months. It took such good pictures using the automatic settings, that people thought I was a professional photographer, even though I basically only point and shoot. I did get the 250mm lens and later bought the 350mm as the one that came with the camera wasn't good for taking anything more than about 20-30 feet, at least not for how I wanted to frame up the shots.
At 16 months, the exposure suddenly stopped working properly. I thought it was the battery and spend $90 on a new battery (with shipping and tax) and that didn't fix the issues. I sent it off to Canon to fix for $230 and they said they fixed it, but the didn't. The exposure is very slightly better, but not enough to really increase the quality of the pictures. I'm now going to try to get my $$ back from Canon for not fixing the problem, but don't hold much confidence that I will be able to.
One more thing to note, the battery didn't last very long unless I didn't store it in the camera between uses. If I took it out when not using it, the battery life was great.
I'm really disappointed because the camera was so easy to use and worked so good for the first year.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Just taking time to learn everything
I use the camera for my girls sports. Both are in karate and golf. With karate I am able to take clear clean pics with them in the air, high kicks and get all the great shots. In golf I get every swing along with the ball when it leaves the tee. The camera is great. I love it and am glad that I bought it. I am a beginner and it is great! My sister in law loves the camera and she is far from a beginner she is an advanced in photo skills.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Cost of lenses, but all of them are expensive
I bought this camera a week or two before a trip to Vegas. I also bought the 55-250 lens to go with the camera. Played with it in backyard talking pictures of birds and my dogs. Everything came out great, but when we went to Vegas and went sight seeing. This camera on the sport setting actually takes blur free pictures out of a moving vehicle doing 70 mph.
The quality of the pictures are outstanding, and I am really enjoying learning how to use all of the extra features

What's great about it: Quality and function
What's not so great: Maybe just the weight of the camera
Had a 35mm SLR a few years ago and then switched to a Point and Shoot digital for a few years and now a DSLR. Love the ability to shoot with different lenses and the various functions. Have had it just a few weeks and learning new functions each week. For a beginner, start with the basics and add a new function each week to learn more about the camera functions. Maybe one week try landscapes, another week portraits, another week sports and another week macro pictures (flowers, etc.). For beginners, don't try jumping into the advance features - don't even read the manual about the advanced features. This will be confusing and you'll get frustrated with the outcome of many of your photos if you try it - believe me. After a few months, you'll get into using the advanced functions with setting modes yourself and eventually using RAW and modifying the pictures on your computer. Good luck newbies!

What's great about it: Great photos, easy to switch modes for new shots
What's not so great: kinda big even for a DSLR
Bought this for a big vacation outside the country and it didn't disappoint. It was kind of big and bulky and but I was a tourist and didn't fit in too well anyway, and the way it captured the colors of the caribbean was well worth the extra effort. I replaced another Canon Rebel that was 10 mb and so learning was pretty easy; however, the knob to switch modes kept switching to portrait or close up mode when I didn't want to so had to be careful between shots.

What's great about it: picture quality
What's not so great: autofocus
This camera is fantastic and I have never regretted my decision. It was much cheaper with the introduction of the T3i, but has essentially the same features (save microphone capabilities and the viewing screen). I did read in reviews that the autofocus on the Canon Rebel isn't great, and have to confirm. I find shooting sports that the camera often focuses on the wrong thing, which is especially unfortunate in a high-speed situation. I have learned to compensate for it, but it has taken some getting used to! If you're looking for a camera for a lot of high speed sports settings, etc this might not be ideal.

What's great about it: Excellent new features from my old Canon Rebel XT
What's not so great: Nothing
I loved my Canon Rebel XT that i have had for 10 years but the sharpness and sometimes lighting was on many pics as it got older. The T2-i is absolutely wonderful with all the updates regarding focus, lighting controls, lightweight, easy to hold in different positions and most of all capturing the colors I saw in real life. I would recommend anyone who wants to bump up the quality of their photos to invest in this camera along with the IS lens it comes with and the rebate on the 55mm-250mm zoom with IS.... A hole world of difference and now I don't have to spend hours color correcting or sharpening my photos... A definite 5 stars!

What's not so great: Haven't found any "not so great" things about it yet.
An easy to use digial SLR. I purchased this camera in time to take photos of Space Shuttle Discovery's last flight. I borrowed a friend's telephoto zoom lense to take amazing photos of the Shuttle flight around the DC area. Well worth every I have penny spent. I just purchased the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II telephoto zoom lense for myself and cannot wait to try it out.

What's great about it: Everything, at a very reasonable price.
What's not so great: No complaints!
I purchased this camera nearly two years ago, after doing my research and comparing different cameras in person. Great camera for long walks in the woods for nature/wildlife shots...Great sports mode and speed. Great close-ups. A great companion for sporting events...so much camera in a lightweight package. 18 megapixels has given me INTENSE photos!! Easy for smaller hands to handle.
This camera it difficult to upgrade, and is quality as well as fun to use.. will keep this one, even if I 'upgrade' to higher megapixels.
