<p>T2i only takes SD/SDHC/SDXC cards. Get yourself a 32gb Class 6 and you are good to go.</p>

<p>Mechanical reasons would be a malfunctioning lens. But it can also depend on the subject that you are shooting. From the T2i owners manual (the camera I own):</p>

<p>-Very low-contrast subjects<br>

-Subjects in very low light<br>

-Extremely backlit or reflective subjects<br>

-Near and far subjects covered by an AF point<br>

-Repetitive patterns</p>

<p>Your lens is going to depend on what kind of "nature" as well. Animals? Flowers? Landscapes? Cloud formations?</p>

<p>Best bet would be to save up some more money.</p>

<p>Why haven't manufacturers placed autofocus points at the rule of thirds points? It would make composing an image and focusing easier I would believe.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think AF is going to depend more on the lens than the processor of your camera body. Take a 50mm/1.8 lens put it on a T2i body then move it to a XSi body and it will still be slow.</p>

<p>Those two lenses are good when starting out. I have them and love them. Just becareful when changing lenses out to remember to turn off the power to the body.</p>

<p>Sounds like a problem with the file numbering system on the camera.</p>

<p>Originally I wanted to shoot horizontally, but that would've introduced too many background elements into the image that would detract from the subject, the dragonfly. The background is a vine covered tree that was reflecting heavy sunshine. Shot head on, the twig that the dragonfly is on would have been in the way, and the background would be reflecting sunshine. Moving to my right of the dragonfly puts the background into direct sunlight. Moving to the left is the second image of the dragonfly that was suitable: the background is in the shade but the dragonfly is still in the sun and unblocked by the twig.</p>

<p>As for cropping for copyright purposes, wouldn't possession of the original RAW file suffice?</p>

<p>Dragonfly (cropped)</p><div></div>

<p>So lately I've been going through the RAW photos that I have and have been picking out and working with the good ones, or at least the ones I have deemed good. My qualm is when an image should be cropped and when it shouldn't.</p>

<p>For instance, I know that cropping is used to remove a section of the image containing something that could distract a viewer from the subject of the image. It is also used to increase the dramatic impact of the photo by bringing it in line with the rule of thirds.</p>

<p>But what I want to know is this: if an image taken as it is, with no cropping, is good without having to be cropped, can be left alone and still remain a good image?</p>

<p>One file was completely corrupted. DPP could not open it up for viewing. The other had about 75% corruption of the data but was still viewable albeit what was left was laughable. My main concern is whether it is normal to have this kind of data corruption...</p>

<p>So I took the plunge and bought a brand new T2i with kit lens and a 55-250 lens. Took a bunch of pictures in RAW format and started to download them to my computer for viewing. When I had DPP running and viewing the pictures 2 out of the 155 that I took were corrupted. Is this normal or should I be concerned?</p>

<p>They look fine to me ... If your camera uses digital zoom, that will cause what you are describing.</p>
