Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera Reviews

I researched for months before I purchased the Canon T2i. I read every review I came across for all Canon and Nikon SLR cameras. I read so many mixed reviews. I wasn't sure what to buy. I have been given an amazing opportunity to take my passion for photography to the next step in starting my own business. I was so nervous just starting my business I was on a serious budget. I wanted to make sure I purchased a camera that would produce the quality that was expected by my customers. I have used this camera in 23 photo shoots since I purchased it about two months ago. I was and still am completely amazed at the quality of each photo. My customers absolutely love their photos and keep referring me to all their family and friends. I just started my business about two months ago. Thanks to the amazing quality of the T2i I am completely booked for the next three months!!!
I'm sure I will invest in more professional models later on but I will never give up my T2i!!!
So if you are someone who is searching for an amazing camera, I am positive you will not regret investing in the T2i.

If your looking for a great Camera look no further you have found it! If you are debating over the T2i vs the T3i there isn't much that is different it is preference whether you need a view finder that moves and if that feature is worth the extra $100. I have been wanting a Digital SLR for a very long time and I did alot of research I was going to buy a less expensive model but after all the research of this cameras features I just couldn't so I worked some more overtime so I could afford this camera. I have had it for a few months now and I get alot of great compliments on my pictures they are professional looking my family and friends say and these are just on the automatic setting LOL wait until I read more and experiment. I have taken nature shots, portrait shots, and sports shots they have all come out amazing. My friends son is Captain of his High School Football team and I have gotten some great shots for him to send to recruiters and colleges now lets talk Video I have taken alot for Football and I can not believe the quality and sound you would have thought I used a real video camera and not one from a camera it has surpassed what I have expected for a camera I am unbelievably happy with my purchase. Amazon thank you for the quick delivery yet again!

CARE responds to floods in Thailand

Thailand has been experiencing severe floods for several weeks now. How is the situation at the moment?
Almost 60 of the country’s 76 provinces and nearly eight million people have been affected. Although the rains have stopped, water is flowing from the north to the south, inundating large areas and destroying homes, roads, farmlands and industrial compounds. Many businesses had to close down and I fear that after this natural disaster, Thailand will face an economic crisis.
The bulk of water is in the central provinces and in some areas it has risen up to three meters. People need boats or trucks to move around and to provide assistance to those in need. More than 300 people have died, mainly due to drowning and electric shocks. The provinces will stay inundated for at least one more month, some even longer.
How have the floods affected Bangkok?
Bangkok is located right at the southern spot where the water is flowing. So the water coming from the north flows into the Chaopraya river, which runs through the capital city. This means that eventually Bangkok will be flooded to the same extent as the other provinces, with water masses standing between one and three meters high.
The government is trying to divert the water west of the city, where there are suburbs, so a lot of people are being evacuated. But even with all these efforts, the water gradually creeps closer. People are building sand bag dykes and trying to irrigate the many canals into the sea. But most calculations say that more and more areas of Bangkok will become flooded – including our office. We will need to relocate our key staff to a city outside of Bangkok.
How are the floods affecting people?
The floods have destroyed houses, crops and livelihoods. In those areas that have been flooded for almost one month now, water and sanitation conditions are very poor and people have started to become sick with diarrhea and other diseases that come with dirty water. Many evacuation centers are crowded and ill-equipped, without enough supplies to assist people who have lost everything.
But those affected most are marginalized groups, such as migrant workers. There are around three million migrant workers in Thailand that live here either with or without documents, most of them coming from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. They isolate themselves from the Thai population through their language, uncertain status and fear of extortion. There is a real risk that they will be excluded from relief efforts.
Migrant workers who are staying in apartment buildings are isolated, many are lacking food, water and other basic supplies and some of them have no access to public health services. They cannot travel to their homelands because their travel documents are often kept by their employer. Many have lost their jobs and their means to support their families.
How is Raks Thai assisting the migrant workers?
Raks Thai will support almost 25,000 migrant workers, women and children in four provinces with food, clean water and essential relief items. We will organize and facilitate the transport of vulnerable people to emergency shelters and temporary accommodation. We plan to install water supply systems and implement sanitation and waste management systems.
Raks Thai Foundation was established in 1997 and became a member of CARE International in 2003. Learn more about CARE’s work in Thailand.
