Canon Inc. to buy back 15M of its shares
Canon EOS Rebel T2i (with 18-55mm lens)
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (Very Good)
The good: Fast performance; excellent photo quality; above average video-capture quality.
The bad: Annoying viewfinder; irritating control layout for video capture.
The cost: $749.00 to $899.99
The bottom line: A great follow-up to the T1i, if you want the best photo and video quality in a dSLR for less than $1,000, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is hard to beat.
