Canon EOS Rebel K2 review
If you’re ready to make the leap from point and shoot to 35mm SLR
camera system, the EOS Rebel K2 is the perfect camera. The K2 incorporates
many sought after attributes including Canon’s premier 7-point wide
area AF system, lightning-fast shutter speeds up to 1/2000 of a second, and
35-zone AF-linked evaluative metering that eliminates common exposure
errors by gathering information from 35 distinct zones. The K2 also
features a large rear LCD panel that aids the already simple operation that
comes standard in a Rebel series camera. Compact and feature-packed, the
Rebel K2 is a stylish, ergonomically streamlined, lightweight camera that
yields heavyweight results.
The Rebel K2’s seven focusing points read a wide area of a scene to
give you exquisitely precise focus — even when your subject is
off-centre. The K2 detects whether your subject is moving or still, and
instantly adjusts the autofocus to match. Specialized shooting modes like
Portrait, Landscape or Sports pre-set the focusing for the subject at hand.
There’s even a Continuous Shooting Mode to capture sequential action
at a fast, silent 1.5 frames per second (fps).
Getting the right exposure is what separates an ordinary picture from an
extraordinary one. That’s why the Rebel K2 is equipped with a 35-zone
metering system. Linked to the 7 AF focusing points, the K2’s 35-zone
metering system gives you accurate, consistent exposure even in tough
shooting conditions — like strong backlight. In addition to the
K2’s standard evaluative metering pattern, the camera also offers
central-area partial metering covering 9.5% of the picture area. This
feature is available in all Creative Zone shooting modes.
Sometimes you want complete creative control. Other times, you just want to
shoot. The Rebel K2 gives you the options to do both, easily. 7 programmed
Image Modes — Full Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night
Scene and Flash Off, let you handle common shooting situations
automatically like a pro. For maximum self-expression, 5 Creative Modes —
Auto Depth-of-Field AE, Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter-speed Priority
and Programmed AE — let you finesse every detail.
