6 Months With My Canon T2i dSLR

It’s been a while now since I bought my digital SLR camera that also takes hi-definition video. I got it right before we went on a family vacation to Grand Cayman in the Caribbean. I wrote a blog post about 938 photos I took on that vacation.

Since that time I have taken over 7,000 pictures with this camera. Do I like it? You bet I do. It’s a great camera that I’m still learning about. I’ve learned that you don’t want to use your dSLR to shoot fast-action video on the soccer field. You can read that blog post here.

Why You Shouldn’t Use a dSLR to Shoot a Soccer Game

I have a zoom lens attached to my camera in the picture in this post. I often use it to take action photos of my kids on the soccer field.

Why You Should Not Use a dSLR to Shoot Your Attorney Video

Lawyer Uses Canon T2i to Shoot 938 photos and 35 videos on Vacation

“What kind of wacko takes 938 pictures on vacation?”

That’s exactly what my brother asked me when I returned from vacation from the Caribbean after having just purchased the Canon T2i camera with an 18-55mm lens and a 55mm-250mm zoom lens. I was super excited when my camera was delivered the day before we were leaving. I had just sold my previous Sony Cyber Shot DSC F828 camera and had bought the Canon dSLR primarily to shoot video. I am a medical malpractice and personal injury trial lawyer in New York and have created a business where I help lawyers produce educational video to market themselves online.
