Canon T2I still using it with success.

Re: Canon T2I still using it with success.

It depends on the definition of low light.

Here's one example.

I could make side by side tests if you would like; please let me know.

Another example.... I had to have enough shutter speed to freeze the action. Plus I wanted ample depth of field. Now, these cameras are not designed to take pictures in the pitch black dark, but they do well enough when it's almost dark. I could not take decent pictures at ISO6400 with the Canon T2i (550D) camera in low light conditions like this.

Here's another one at ISO10000.

And ISO10000 again....

Here we see a photo at ISO12800. You got to have enough shutter speed for ice skaters without using a flash. At sports events they don't want photographers using the flash indoors (at least where I have taken pictures). This is with a kit lens. I suppose the image quality would be a little better with more expensive glass.
