Canon T2i vs T3i Comparison Tutorial | What are you getting for that extra $100?

Getting a lot of questions about the differences between the Canon Rebel T2i and the Canon Rebel T3i, with the T3i costing $100-$200 more. While they look and feel very similar, the T3i has 4 great features which I feel definitely justifies this price difference. This video gives a quick tutorial on these differences. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a training video for the T2i, T3i or in fact most consumer Canon Camera photography gear, I have a wide selection available at my photography blog: http://www.michaelthemaven.com

is the video quality better on the t3i?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@joey123433 pretty much the same

[israeltechco]

lol.why are you shooting in SD if you have pro HD video camera ?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@israeltechco Because we produce training DVDs, which are SD. I've answered this several times now. thanks

[israeltechco]

@MichaelTheMentor and you think that's how you will gain an audience ? when you actually talk about video with DSLR's and videocamera's ? i don't understand also why you'r DVD's are in SD ? why not HD ?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@israeltechco The only way to produce an HD DVD is with Blue-Ray. Standard DVDs will only hold about 4 hours of SD material, and most of my DVDs take up all of that space. While there are a handful of customers who would appreciate blue ray, the vast majority of my viewers own an SD DVD player (and not a Blue Ray).

yes, there are ways I can improve and am working to. Many of my users have found this material helpful- despite the resolution.

Magic Lantern firmware, FTW.

Why are you putting so much emphasis on the "T"!? The T doesn´t change, only the number changes so why the "T! 2i versus the "T! 3i"?" Sorry, it drives me crazy...

Great review though! I got both.

[prehistoricpig]

That is not true about pictures only for the t2i, the t2i takes great video.

@vsighi I'm doing the same, getting mine sometime tomorrow. It's not worth spending $150+

[Marsunbi]

@CoCokissesify Depends.. if you don't have any problems with spending 100$ extra, go buy the t3i.. If you don't think the extra features in the t3i is worth 100$, go buy t2i.

I have the t3i, and I really love it! And in my opinion is the moveable screen on the t3i, worth it, put again.. it depends on what kind og photography or video shooting you are doing.

[vsighi]

I will go with the Canon T2i and save $ 150 and get a better lens...I think the specs on T3i make no sens for me.

T2i Target: $ 599.99

T3i Targer $ 759.99

@CoCokissesify The T3i is so much more practical with the swivel screen, that alone is worth the extra cost! Got a T3i and I love it!

Plus if you're looking to shoot video, get the 18-55 kit, and then buy the 50mm f1.8 lens. There's no real point in paying the extra money for the 18-135 if you don't really need the range :)

@MichaelTheMentor Thats ironic
