The Canon EOS Rebel T2 is a single lens reflex camera. The 35mm camera was built by Canon and introduced in 2004. The Canon EOS Rebel T2 was also sold on the market under the names “Canon EOS 300X” and “EOS Kiss 7”.

The camera has a built-in light meter. It can use the exposure for films with a sensitivity from ISO 6 to ISO 6400. The camera determines the correct film speed using the DX code.
With SLR cameras, the exposure is measured through the lens. The camera uses this result for the various exposure modes. A manual mode for full control is also available.
The EOS shutter speeds range from 1/4000 second to 30 seconds. The camera also comes with a bulb mode. This allows the shutter to remain open for a variable time. For a stable stand it has a thread for a tripod.
