Given my photographic needs/goals it's unlikely that I will ever get to the point where the camera is holding me back. <br /><br />I do want a better lens than the kit lens for faster glass so I can do a better job in low light conditions, but beyond that lens I pretty much have to invest the time to learn how to use the capabilities of the T2i capture nice photos.<br /><br />I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the T2i as you get some time with it as well as how you end up using the S95 vs. the DSLR.<br /><br />Enjoy the new gear...=-)<br /><br />safe riding,<br /><br />Vik<br />www.thelazyrando.comVikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-22983238098076372182012-03-19T22:57:28.983-07:002012-03-19T22:57:28.983-07:00Vik, I'd been lurking around on your blog and ...Vik, I'd been lurking around on your blog and did notice that you were about to take possession of a T2i - glad that it's now in your hands. It's great for me that we both have the same P&S and DSLR because the pics that show up on your blog will be a really interesting and useful point of reference for me.<br /><br />As I'm just getting into DSLR and I see from your blog that you've played with them before, I know that we're in different places on the learning curve. But FWIW, I see a few people on your blog commenting about how you should be considering a compact mirrorless this or that. I did a lot of homework on DSLR vs mirrorless and came to the conclusion that given the capabilities, the T2i carried huge bang for the buck for me at this point in my photography development. I guess the reason I mention this is that I know you settled on the T2i for economic (aka airmile) reasons, but that I don't think your selection was a compromise - I paid cash and had the option of lots of different cams. And picked the same one as you.Pat Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348722701872187949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-81522753067408908432012-03-16T16:00:49.007-07:002012-03-16T16:00:49.007-07:00I just rec'd my Canon T2i DSLR to augment my C...I just rec'd my Canon T2i DSLR to augment my Canon S95 and a couple other basic Canon point and shoot cameras.<br /><br />I'm hoping the DSLR will allow for MTB action shots deep in BC's gloomy rainforest.<br /><br />Good luck with the new gear.

The iPhone case is <a href="http://www.otterbox.com/iPhone-4-/-4S-Impact-Series-Case/APL1-I4SUN,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=impact-series-cases" rel="nofollow">this one</a>.

Now you will be looking into lenses and dropping thousands of dollars on all that cool stuff. Good luck to you resisting it all! Quick question, what kind of iPhone case is that? It looks like a good one for fellow bike riders to protect their phone somewhat.
