PC Mag got a little wacky with their "best entry level DSLR" article
5 months ago

PC Mag came out with their recommendations for the best entry level DSLR.  The way it was presented, Canon T2i came in 1st, with a 4 1/2 star rating, and an Editor's Choice recommendation.  Canon T4i was 3rd, with a 4 star rating.  Huh?

If you knew absolutely nothing about cameras, and you were looking to get your first DSLR (which is obviously the point of the article), you would assume that the T2i is a better camera than the T4i.  Makes absolutely no sense, until you realize that PC Mag used a 2010 review of the T2i.

As quickly as technology changes, it is crazy to use a 2 year old review to show that one camera is superior to another.  I don't think anyone would argue that the T4i is not the better camera, and in fact, the better value (if you can even find a new T2i, the prices are higher than the T4i).

Poor job by PC Mag.
