On Monday, Canon announced a new DSLR. The new Canon T2i redefines the boundaries of Canon's consumer DSLR range, incorporating technologies and features more commonly found in semi-professional DSLRs into the compact, lightweight body favoured by consumers. With a newly-developed 18 Megapixel (MP) APS-C CMOS sensor, coupled with Canon’s advanced DIGIC 4 image processor and the ability to shoot Full HD movies, photography enthusiasts are empowered to explore new levels of creativity.

The T2i features a 9-point AF system with one extra-sensitive cross–type point at the centre for f/2.8 or faster lenses. The T2i also supports high-speed, continuous shooting at 3.7 frames per second (fps). These features provide users with the opportunity to exert greater control over their images, allowing them to capture split-second moments with ease and accuracy.

Below is a video of Chris George from PhotoPlus magazine's preview of T2i.
