Light and compact for a film SLR camera, 12 preset settings for portraits, sports, night shots and more, anti-shake warning helps you know when to steady the camera

Viewfinder is a little small, no spot meter or mirror lockup, shutter is noisy

Canon EOS Rebel T2

A follow-up review after a lot of use. Glad Canon continues the film camera line and you can't beat this one for value. Just love it. Featherweight (both an advantage and disadvantage, but for myself, the former). Excellent film point-and-shoot,...

Same as reported below.

Same as in prior review. Handle and store with care. Don't know how many cycles the shutter is rated for and am tempted to buy a second one as insurance, before they discontinue it. Not a rugged camera but not a toy, either. Really wish it had a...

Excellent

Make sure you shop around, as retailers know that this is a top quality camera, if not the best in it's class so they will charge full retail for it. I would not recommend any other SLR.

Top quality, best camera I've ever owned. This camera was recommended to me by a professional photographer and I can see why. This is really a high performance SLR camera that is easy to use, has a complete range of manual features (As well as the...

This is a good camera. It is durable, and takes a good shot. Invest in the lenses to give you the variety and you won't be disappointed.

The photos are colorful and clear

Canon EOS Rebel T2

The most advanced SLR in its class with latest automation, a "souped-up" selection of powerful features, expanded shooting modes and state-of-the-art E-TTL II autoflash. A masterpiece of form and function, its luxurious design is both lightweight and ergo

Canon EOS Rebel T2

For film users, this camera provides a great balance between weight and performance. Its ultra reliable and great on battery life. The built-in ETTL-2 pop up flash gives excellent "fill-flash" for people protraits--it's always dead on accurate and...

1/4000th shutter capacity, 1/125th x-sync for fill flash. 7 pt auto focus points (but I use strickly on center point --most sensitive. Accurate ETTL-2 flash and accurate exposure = good photos.

None. Not at this price.

Canon EOS Rebel T2

The Canon Rebel T2 was basically the only camera that I considered buying when I decided to purchase a camera. I did my research and checked around at local shops and with all the information that I got it seemed that this camera was the way to go....

Light weight, great functionality, 7 point auto focus for those of us who just want to point and shoot. Pretty good starter lense in the kit.

Fairly slow burst fire, but still not bad. Plastic construction, makes it light weight but a little flimsy

Canon EOS Rebel T2

I thought I should take the time to review this camera - for the 6 or 8 people left in the world who still like working with film -, as it has been said that it's the last film rebel, depending on sales, and judging from the number of reviews here, I...

With few exceptions, it will do everything the popular and more expensive 7N will do. Not limiting for serious workers the way earlier Rebels were. Very lightweight and small.

Cannot leave leader out when rewinding; an annoyance. Cannot select any of the three metering modes in any operating mode, but by understanding the default modes as described in the manual, the problem can be easily worked around. You have two of them...
