Since you’re visiting this website, there is very a good chance that you’re considering buying a Canon Rebel T2i DSLR camera and naturally, you want to get the best deal out there because it’s an expensive piece of equipment. You’ve come to the perfect place, because one of the main purposes of this website is to keep track of the best Canon T2i prices and deals. In our sidebar (on the right), we display the current lowest Canon T2i prices. Because we only display prices of the biggest, most trusted vendors such as Amazon.com, we’re saving you the hassle of visiting other online stores who claim to offer even better deals, only to find out that their Rebel T2i units are refurbished, out of stock, shipped from China, or that you have to pay a fortune for shipping and handling. Such stores may be worth considering when buying accessories such as a tripod or a camera bag, but when it comes to buying an expensive and delicate piece of equipment like the Rebel T2i or its compatible lenses, you should really stick with vendors that have a trustworthy reputation.

The prices and deals in our sidebar are the ones we most highly recommend, but there are certainly more incredible deals out there (we can’t fit all of them in our sidebar). Below you will find some more fantastic deals.

In our opinion, the very best online deals you can find on the Rebel T2i are the pre-assembled kits. These kits provide truly outstanding value. For just a few hundred dollars more, you can buy an entire professional photography setup rather than just the camera itself. The reason why we so highly recommend these kits is because we know that, over time, you will end up accumulating most of the included items anyway and by buying them all together at once you really get a very steep discount. You will notice that these kits all fall in a similar price range, even though they do not all include the same amount of items. This is because of the differences in quality of some the items that are included in these kits, such as tripods and bags. The quality of items produced by Canon is of course the same in each kit.  These kits are listed in order of popularity, with the first being the most popular. Oh and yes, the first two kits really include 4 lenses!!!

Out of these three kits, we most highly recommend kit #3, as we believe it offers the most value for your money. Also, judging from user reviews, the non-Canon produced items in this kit seem to be of higher quality than the ones included in kits #1 and #2. If you are buying a DSLR camera for the very first time, these kits are a fantastic options that you should definitely consider making use of. As we’ve pointed out before, most entry-level photographers end up buying the majority of the items included in these kits anyway, so you may as well get a great discount on it.

Packed with a wide array of high-end features, the Canon Rebel T2i continues to reign supreme as the best entry-level DSLR on the market. Even the new Rebel T3i has not been able to match the popularity and has only slightly improved the all-round perfection of this camera. Featuring a mind-blowing 18.0-megapixel CMOS image sensor, a DIGIC 4 Image Processor, an ISO range of 100-6400 (expandable to 12800), a shutter speed of 3.7 frames per second, and the ability to shoot full HD movies, this camera makes every photographer feel spoiled. The unparalleled perfection of this camera is reflected in its raving reviews. The T2i has received top ratings across the board for its image quality, features, quality of materials, shutter speed, video quality, night vision, LCD screen, user-friendly design, and overall performance. One would expect to see a heavy price tag on a camera of this caliber, falling only a few features short of the mighty Canon 7D’s professional arsenal. Yet, selling for as little as $645.00 on its own or for $706.00 with a powerful 18-55mm lens included, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i delivers by far the best value for money of all SLR’s. To top it all off, the Rebel T2i weighs in at a mere 1.2 pounds! The T2i is still a very new camera, having been released a little over one year ago. This camera embodies the perfect blend of technology and design that continues to impress, even after the release of its nearly identical successor, the T3i. Go with the best, get the T2i.

Finding the perfect lens for your needs can be difficult, especially if you have a lot of lenses to choose from. This is certainly the case with the T2i, which is compatible with Canon’s entire line of EF lenses! Having so many choices may seem a bit daunting, particularly for those photographers who have only just entered the world of SLR’s. But don’t worry. To make things a little easier for, we’ve created a list of bestselling and recommended lenses for the T2i.

1. Best Sellers

The T2i is often sold as a bundle with the EF-S 18-55mm IS SLR Lens. Popular among amateur photographers, this small (2.7×3.3 inches), lightweight (7.1 ounces) multi-purpose lens delivers more quality than one would expect from a lens in its price range. Selling for as little as $112.00, this lens has been a continuous best seller since its first release a little over a year ago. The EF-S 18-55mm features Canon’s signature Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) and excels in low-light conditions. This is a great entry-level, multi-purpose lens.

If you are an advanced photographer looking for a wide-angle zoom lens you can afford without having to sell your camera, the EF-S 18-135mm IS UD Standard Lens will be a great option for you. This lens is also often bundled with the T2i and quickly became a favorite among advanced SLR users. It features a range from 29mm-216mm in 35mm format and dedicated image stabilization and it currently sells for only $289.00. The EF-S 18-135mm IS UD is the go-to lens for many T2i users because it’s relatively small (3×4 inches), lightweight (16 ounces), affordable, and it’s suitable for 95% of your shots.

2. Recommended for Beginners

For beginners, we recommend the EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Lens, as well the previously mentioned EF-S 18-55mm IS. Canon designed this lens in response to the increasing demand for a lens that features Optical Image Stabilizer technology while remaining light and compact. Selling for as little as $185.00, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS performs far better than many comparable lenses, particularly with low-light, long-distance shots. If you are a beginner looking for your first lens, we recommend getting this one rather than the EF-S 18-55mm IS.

3. Recommended for Pros

Are you a professional photographer looking to add a high-end lens yo your line-up? If so, have a look at the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens. Delivering the kind of quality parallel to that of Canon’s legendary L-series, this lens will have no trouble filling that void in your lens kit. It is able to achieve such outstanding quality due to its high-caliber construction, which includes UD and aspherical elements. Its large circular aperture produces background blur, adding special attention to your photographic subject. With its ring-type USM (ultra-sonic monitor) and state of the art AF technology, auto-focus is achieved rapidly and quietly. This beauty frequently sells for less than $900.00.
