Should I buy Canon EOS Rebel T3i or T2i?

The decision is actually based on why you need to purchase one of those. Because the difference between the two models are not much.

Apart of including the same features, T3i and T2i both use 18MP Sensor and DIGIC 4 image processor, The new model T3i is more heavy because of the LCD monitor’s rear which can rotate.

One question you should know the answer before deciding which one is for you is, do you need a camera which supports off camera flashes? If the answer is a No, then T3i is not necessary, but if you use it often, then owing the T3i is a benefit.

I bought my very fist dslr last november 2010 – the Canon T2i. Just a few weeks later came out the 60D, and now the 600D. Makes me wish I should’ve waited a little longer. :)
