Increasing their current limit of 3 AEB is a very simple software change. Canon is basically screwing with us.

If in fact it is just 3 AEB and +/-2EV that sucks. I guess the fact that Canon has expanded the exposure compensation to +/-5EV they somehow think this is going to be beneficial to a single AEB sequence? Please. What a joke.

Seems idiotic they put in language as to how this is beneficial to the HDR shooter unless they did in fact change the past Rebel AEB settings.

I will say though that if the T2i gets the 7D’s AEB of +/-3EV for an AEB sequence, that would at least be a welcomed improvement….

… but 3 AEB still sucks.

Look folks. I love Canon. I just bought a 5D mark II recently to shoot along with other Nikon/Sigma bodies, but the 5D mark II is a very high end camera and yet still the same crappy 3AEB.

I just assumed it would bracket 5 shots at once. I guess I was wrong. This seems like such a simple request. There is no doubt this will be coming in the future.

Nikon has stubbornly refused to address their 1stop AEB limitation. Canon pro bodies have had expanded AEB functionality for years.

The T1i has a +/-4EV range for exposure compensation. The AEB settings are 3 exposures up to +/-2EV, plus exposure compensation from -4 to +4. I think, without any more to go on than anybody else, that the only change here is the +/-4EV range has been expanded to +/-5EV. They might let AEB expand to +/-3EV, but Canon has said nothing to imply that there will be any choice of additional exposures, like the Nikon does.

It looks like it will still only allow for 3 shots AEB, but instead of a max of -2,0,+2 you’ll be able to go to -5, 0, +5. Its a shame that it won’t be able to AEB more than 3 shots, it’d be nice to capture -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5 in one go with one shutter press, but I doubt the 550D can do it without some tweaking mid shot.
