I was in love with this camera from the day I first seen it at Bestbuy back in 2008. I am not a pro by any means and very green about most functions of DSLR cameras. So I waited because of cost reasons and went with the XSI. which for me was a great first DSLR, had that for a few years and it got dropped and broken. had the warranty and Bestbuy was awesome about replacing price matched technology. meaning the XSI was discontinued and the T1i was on its way out also. So they said what you paid for the XSI back when it was new is where the T2i is right now in price, So I left with that Camera. It is a awesome camera for cash. And is reviewed as good as the T31 for picture quality. So I made the leap at the 7D, it was on sale. but I found that the picture quality wasn't as clear as the T2i and all the reviews I read said the same. If you want super clear pics you have to work on them after the fact with a program like light room or some thing on that order. The t2i tested better than the 7D straight out of gate no retouch needed if you upgrade the Glass. So I did that, now a few reviews said that there was a problem with the 7D as far as clarity, And that some take very clear pics right out of the box. But I tried all the ways to make a clear shot and it wouldn't be as clear as my t21. I checked it against my t2i using the lens off the 7D. each time shot for shot the t2i had the better pic. Not just 2 or 3 pics I shot over 700 pics on the 7D at least 100 side by side comparisons Everything I could think of t2i was always a cleaner pic using the better glass from the 7D. not the kit lens. So money being spent if your going for a clear & clean pic with out any after picture touch ups, then go with the t21 or t31 they wear given the same picture quality reviews. There not a pro camera that are sealed for the elements. but I'm not going to stand in the rain for a picture either. They don't feel as well built as the 7D but I like the smaller size a lot lighter to carry around, just don't drop them.
