CANON T2i / KISS X4 / 550D Preordered!

HA HA HA! YOU WILL SOON BE MINE!

So I finally decided to wait and buy the new Canon. Once I was sure I wanted a video DSLR I had planned on getting either the Pentax K-x or the popular Panasonic GH-1. I was just about to put in my order for the Panasonic when one of my buddies showed me the announcement for the new Canon. After a few days of agonizing over the thought of waiting weeks to get a new camera and starting on my planned projects I decided that the T2i was worth the wait. Now, I live in Japan so it took me awhile to find the name for this thing here. From here on out, I’m going to refer to all three models of the camera when I can, as they are the same thing. I will have the Japanese version, the Canon EOS Kiss X4. But trust me, it’s going to be exactly the same as your T2i or 550D.

My goal is to review the hell out of this camera.

I have a background in video but I love taking photos as well. I have never owned a DSLR, but I have had many SLRs in my life. I’ve shot with almost every pro and prosumer video camera there is, but I’m interested and excited about the new video DSLR revolution.

I’m going to document this entire process on this site. From the unboxing, testing, reviews, real world opinions, and my experience of owning my first DSLR. Tell me what you want to see or know and I’ll give it to ya!

I’m pretty damn excited.
