Title: Canon EOS Rebel T2i
Post by: dnavarrojr on March 04, 2010, 01:43
Finally bought my first DSLR, specifically for video.  The Canon EOS Rebel T2i.  I wrote up a review on iSyndica (http://www.isyndica.com/blog/2010/3/3/canon-eos-rebel-t2i-review.html (http://www.isyndica.com/blog/2010/3/3/canon-eos-rebel-t2i-review.html)) from a "noob" perspective as opposed to all the pros who've done reviews.

I am really enjoying this camera and I've finally started producing video clips good enough for Stock with it after a couple of days of learning how to use it.  It's a fantastic camera for the price.

I hope to have some"side-by-side" video  comparisons with my HF11 camcorder up on Vimeo by the weekend.

Thanks for the review and [future] videos!

Do you have any words on how the T2i performs at night (comparing with your HF11)?
I have an HV30, and am trying to see how the "vDSLR"s perform :)

Thanks,
adijr

Absolutely stellar in comparison.  I still need a faster Prime lens for perfect night shooting, but in some test shots of stars, the moon, and some video of a train stop there was at least 75% LESS noise than my HF11 which is horrible for shooting at night.

I headed out tonight to shoot some video at a local electrical power plant.... I love the way the smoke looks when lit up from below on a clear night.

The T2 is great - if it just had a better video codec.
