Sick of my T2I , looking for alternative suggestions

Test backfocus, if you zoom all the way in and focus, and pull all the way out and it's not still in focus, you have a problem.

That lens is not parfocal, this test won't tell you anything useful .

Use a monitor, you can't rely on the camera lcd alone, unless maybe if you have a magnifying loupe.

I never tried it with the T2i, but with my T4i, my 42" HD LCD TV makes a big, beautiful "monitor" via HDMI. The T4i images are just stunning there.

I assume it will work well for you if it auto syncs the display resolution, at least until you start recording. Not sure if the T2i kicks down then like the 5DII?

You could also try the 50 1.8 and compare that to the 17-55 on screen. Never used the 17-55.

I always had a bunch of L glass - 7 L lenses. The 24-70 is the one I like and trust the most. I am downsizing to 3 primes & 3 zooms for a more "consumer kit." The one L lens I will keep as my go-to lens for best quality is the 24-70 (Also keeping the 70-200 4.0 - instead of the 2.8 - because of weight.)
