I swear I’m going to get into real post soon and stop talking about this camera all the time, but I’d like to document it when I can.
Overall opinion so far? Fantastic. A learning experience, but fantastic.
Yeah! It’s that time! My Canon EOS Kiss X4 / Rebel T2i / 550D grand unboxing!
So here’s a quick unboxing and a few test pics. I am working on some more serious tests this week and will have them up soon. So far I’m very pleased! Some of the photos are a td blurry as I was a bit to excited. Enjoy.
That’s right! It finally came in! Photos were taken for the unboxing, but I will post them tomorrow. Battery is charging now. Hopefully I’ll go out and do some shooting tomorrow! Keep watching my Flickr for photo updates! The image above was taken with my current camera, a Canon Powershot SD960 IS. I put the new camera on a black t-shirt next to an cracked open door and lit the side with a photo on my iPhone. A 3 second exposure, I think.
Also, it seems that the T2i is sold out almost everywhere in America already… Seems Amazon in Japan still has some, though. Will try and keep updating for everyone who is interested…
Yay!
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.
Watch for updates on my Youtube and my Flickr!
