*UPDATE 2*
The folks at Kerrisdale Cameras in Victoria, British Columbia have T2i w/18-55 IS kits in stock.
http://www.kerrisdalecameras.com/
They’re selling them for $999.92
I can’t yet find them on their site, but I assume they just arrived today.
*UPDATE*
B&H is now out of stock.
My Mistake
Body only is not yet in stock at B&H.
Woo
This camera is going to be extremely popular and it’s available already. B&H has the T2i in stock and ready to ship.
I will have a review started by the weekend as these things trickle into Canada. I have a video guy that’s going to help out with that aspect of the camera. Give us a couple of weeks to get the review done.
In Canada, this camera comes with the 18-135 IS as well. I have yet to see that kit available in the US. That’s the lens we’ll be reviewing the camera with, as I have never actually touched one.

Good move for Canon. Great little camera.
Now, I would like the future 1DV to be a complete redesign :) ~ Time for a new body generation.
Since I live here in NYC, I think I’ll mosey on down to B&H and check out the t2i in person.
Should I leave my credit card at home?
Naaaaaaaaaah. :-)
Is it really in stock – website says “New Item, no arrival date set”
Ah, i see, Only the kit version is in stock. Yay for 18-55EFS
I’m tempted to pick one of these up, but I really don’t need another Rebel, as I’m pretty happy with my 450D. Video would be nice, but I probably won’t use it.
I chatted with the live onsite customer service and they told me that the t2i wasn’t actually in stock and said that it wouldn’t be for a few weeks… why?
wait, just tried again. they do have them apparently, just for shipping i think.
Just checked Adorama and it appears the kit is available there too. I might just upgrade by Body-Only order to the kit and choose next-day shipping. I want it now!
Also at Adorama – with free shipping!
Anybody take the time to call Adorama or B&H to ask them if they have an expected date for the Body Only?
No more t2i’s on B&H’s site.
Just picked mine up today at the local camera shop (Camera Mart – free plug). They have both the body only and kit available.
Ordered mine from BHPhoto this morning around 11:04EST. Already shipped. Expected delivery of Fri. Excited? Yes.
Just picked one up here in Seattle with the 18-55mm for $899, got the 50mm 1.8 with it for another $89…my first DSLR…stoked…
PS…Got it at Kenmore Camera and they tossed in two free classes…they had three more promised and one left…
I just picked body only up at calumet camera in Chicago they have em online too
Cancelled my order through Adorama and drove to West Photo in Minneapois, to get it. They had two bodies and two kits in stock, I took a body.
Adobe should hurry up now and update their RAW compatibility…
did you go to Glazers? Too bad they only got the kit rather than just the body, you would have a lot of fun with the 50mm 1.8 . very fun lens!
I just got home from window shopping…
I went to a local Best Buy and had my first chance to check out a 7D and it was amazing. The autofocus is fantastic and the 8 FPS was impressive. I have large hands and the camera body felt very nice in my hands. Without a doubt, if I could afford it, this would be my camera!
After that, I went to a local camera shop and to check out their inventory and they had just received the T2i. So, I had a chance to do a little shooting. The camera is the same size and feel as the recent Rebels. The new LCD looked great and the shooting was typical of the Rebels. I was only there for a short while so I did not have too much time to fool with the video portion. I bet Canon is going to sell tons of these…a very, very nice camera.
I just picked up one of these at the Pro Photo Supply in Portland, they have body-only and the kit.
The t2i doesn’t have that pro-camera feel, but that’s not worth an extra $600 to step up to the 7D for me.
get a battery grip so it’ll fit in your hand better =)
My cousin has a Rebel XT and uses the battery grip, and for whatever reason, I just don’t like the way it feels in my hand. However, the 7D felt very comfortable/natural. The 50D also is comfortable and feels to handle well, that is one of the reasons I have been hoping for a 60D.
Thanks for the heads up….
Called West Photo and reserved one of those you mentioned.
Have not been able to get there and then National Camera calls and says mine will be in tomorrow…..
All along I am wanting Best Buy to get them ASAP because:
1) Reward points
2) O% Financing
3) Better Warranty with GS
How goes it with your first day?
Aden Camera in Toronto apparently has the T2i in stock gonna head out in the snow storm today and see if i can get me one!
nuoo b&h why u run out of stock on me!!!1
Yep, Aden Camera had one in stock today, and I have it and the kit lens in my hot little hands… battery charging as we speak.
buydig.com as 1 more kit in stock. I got one and he said they have 1 left. Call in as the site may not say its in stock. Good luck.
Thanks for the tip on Kenmore Camera! They have both the kit and body-only in stock. Just placed my order online!

who has this thing? Does ACR not work for you either? I can’t get the T2i’s raw files to work in Photoshop or Lightroom.
I tried to subscribe to all your rss, but had a difficulty adding it to google reader. Could you please check this out.
Leo’s in Vancouver has kits and body only in stock as of yesterday. Picked mine up last weekend from Broadway Camera. They only had kits no body only yet.
Will, you rock. thanks for posting the link. This place is the only place I found it in stock. Ordered online and shipped.
