Inside its futuristic metallic colored body, the Rebel K2 is a triumph of SLR ingenuity. From its advanced focusing technology to its sophisticated image controls and retractable flash, the K2 makes it easy to shoot the pictures you've always wanted -- and have the time of your life doing it.
7-point Autofocus The Rebel K2's seven focusing points read a wide area of a scene to give you exquisitely precise focus -- even when your subject is off-center. The K2 detects whether your subject is moving or still, and instantly adjusts the autofocus to match. Specialized shooting modes like Portrait, Landscape or Sports pre-set the focusing for the subject at hand. There's even a Continuous Shooting Mode to capture sequential action at a fast, silent 1.5 frames per second (fps).
35-zone metering system Getting the right exposure is what separates an ordinary picture from an extraordinary one. That's why the Rebel K2 is equipped with a 35-zone metering system. Linked to the 7 AF focusing points, the K2's 35-zone metering system gives you accurate, consistent exposure even in tough shooting conditions -- like strong backlight. In addition to the K2's standard evaluative metering pattern, the camera also offers central-area partial metering covering 9.5% of the picture area. This feature is available in all Creative Zone shooting modes.
Shooting Modes Sometimes you want complete creative control. Other times, you just want to shoot. The Rebel K2 gives you the options to do both, easily. 7 programmed Image Modes -- Full Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Scene and Flash Off, let you handle common shooting situations automatically like a pro. For maximum self-expression, 5 Creative Modes -- Auto Depth-of-Field AE, Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter-speed Priority and Programmed AE -- let you finesse every detail.
Flash Metering Whether you're using the built-in retractable flash or you've attached an optional EX-series Speedlite, Canon's advanced TTL and E-TTL technologies take the guesswork out of SLR flash photography. By analyzing lighting conditions and focusing zone information, the Rebel K2 automatically gives you the natural, balanced illumination that makes pictures stand out.
Easy Operation The Rebel K2 's design is intuitive and in tune with your needs. A super-sized LCD lets you see camera setting clearly. The intelligent controls are laid out to put everything within close reach for relaxed, one-handed shooting. The result? The camera feels like it's a part of you.
EF Lenses With their innovative technology and superior optical quality, Canon EF lenses set the standard the world over. The Rebel K2 is compatible with the entire range of over 50 Canon EF lenses (Not compatible with EF-S lens) to give you every creative option. This kit contains the EF 28-80 II (f 3.5-5.6) standard zoom lens. Similar to the EF 28-80 I, this lens uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the autofocus.
