Canon Unveils EOS T2i D-SLR, New PowerShot Cameras

From DailyTech: Canon is a big and popular maker of many types of digital cameras from the cheap point-and-shoot cameras to more complex and expensive D-SLR cameras. The new D-SLR camera from Canon is called the EOS Rebel T2i. The camera is described as a D-SLR that can grow with a photographer as they learn more and expect more from the camera.

The camera can shoot bursts at 3.7 fps and has an ISO range of 100-6400 and a 63-zone dual layer metering system.
