Everyone I know had one, even the pro shooters for stupid little experiments. Up until recently, even I had one. Daniel Camer, Photographer

All of the Rebel models are big sellers because of the price/value ratio but yes, the T2i (550D) does seem popular

Same sensor, same size (give or take a mm), same fps, etc. There are a couple other small changes, but nothing major. 7D - XTi - Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 - Canon 50mm f/1.8II - SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 - Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L - Lensbaby 2.0 - Canon 430EX-II - CBS flash trigger

I don't find the T3i to be a worthy upgrade for myself -- I'm holding out until they make a SLR with AF on video (unless I decide to go FF, which isn't likely for a LONG time.) Kristin

If I had not found a 50D for the same money as a T2i, I would have bought one as a backup instead. It's a fantastic little camera. 5DS R | 1Ds Mark III | Canon 16-35mm F/4L IS | Canon 24-70mm F/4L IS | Canon 70-200mm F/4L | Canon 50mm F/1.8 STM | Sigma 24-35mm F/2.0 Art | Samyang 14mm F/2.8 |

I like articulating screens for macro and I also like being able to fold the screen in when hiking. I decided to buy new (Canon service has been good to me) and the retail T2i wasn't any less $$ than T3i. I guess that does say something about how popular/good the T2i is!

The T3i wasn't really a replacement, just an update. The swivel screen is a great option to have. You don't HAVE to use it, but a fixed screen doesn't give you the option. When the T3i came out I always maintained that I wouldn't sell my T2i to get a T3i because it was really an upgrade, but I would get a T3i if it was my choice between the two. (I do use the video feature so the swivel screen would be a huge benefit for me) My junk
