Change the media.
Try using a SDHC card. I had the same problem with my Nikon D60. The Sd cards require the software from the camera manufacturer to work properly.

Canon T2i program modes
I bought 2 of the Tt2i cameras, one for me and one for my husband. I am extremely dissatisfied with the Program modes! I shot in sports mode to capture flying birds and they shot were shot in 3200 ISO!
I am in Florida, and it was mid day on a sunny day. Needless to say, the images are horrendous, noisy and very overexposed. I called Canon to complain and the tech said 3200 did seem "quite unnecessary" for the conditions, but that was the way the program modes worked. He went on the say I should just shoot in manual modes such as aperture priority etc.
WHY would Canon charge $800+ for a camera they you can't utilize ALL the features of?
Luckily I was still in my 14 day return period with B&HPhoto, so I have returned them for a refund (at MY expense).
I'll stick with my XTi, at least that works to my satisfaction.

learn your camera
1. you are able to set the level of ISO expansion so that it does not increase to such a rate
2. you shouldn't ever use automatic exposure because of it's unpredictability- this is true for any camera. Small things like light getting into your viewfinder or dark shadows in your photo could cause the change in exposure. It sounds like you are not a serious photographer and you should buy something like the nikon p100.
3. Sports mode generally boost the ISO to help freeze the action
4. as an owner of both, the t2i performs far better than the xti in terms of AF, metering, camera speed, noise, and general image quality. you're selling yourself short by using your xti instead of the t2i.
5. $800 is cheap- the 7d (which barely performs better than the t2i) is $1800 and the 5d is $2400

You should learn to use the non program modes. Serious cameras require the user to learn about photography.

Not happy!
I have owned the XTI and the XSI, and now the T2I. The only complaint with the XTI and the XSI were the fat that after about 20 pictures, I would continually get a busy message and not be able to shoot. I spoke with the sales rep about it before buying the X2I. It is by far the worst! I can take about 10 pictures before the busy message pops up and only lets me shoot 1 picture every 30 seconds or so. Not good at all when shooting kids or pets!

May not be the cameras fault.
Sometimes camera slow downs like this are caused by the type, brand and quality of SD-card you are using to store the images. Most camera manufacturers recommend at least a class 6 card especially if the camera is capable if recording video.
It's recommended by others that you use a class 10 card of a well known brand. The manual (linked above) has this devices actual SDcard specifications and compatability requirements listed.
The below list is a brief outline of each class.
- Class 0 - These cards do not specify performance, which includes all legacy cards prior to class specifications.
- Class 2 - Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. Lowest speed for SDHC cards.
- Class 4 - Minimum of 4 MB/s performance.
- Class 6 - Minimum of 6 MB/s performance.
- Class 10 - Minimum of 10 MB/s performance.

busy message / blinking green light
I get the busy message or the blinking green light and can't take a pic too. Somtimes shutting the camera off and turning on will fix it for a few pics, sometimes not. If I take it off of autofocus it works fine. It never did it before and started about 6 months ago and seems to be getting worse. Any fix?

Flash Problems
I have 3 Canon SLR's and 4 lens. I bought an T2i for interior design photos and I use a Canon speed light for most of the shoots; however once I remove the flash from the hot shoe the camera still thinks the flash is attached. This means that the camera's flash no longer activates.
$800 for a camera I now have to send away for 4 weeks to have corrected. Big waste of money. I was a Canon fan...although no longer. Sorry Canon, Nikon from here on out your quality is going downhill.
I just bought a Canon T2i and was real excited about it, however neither of my two telephoto lens can produce a movie. My wide angle and the kit lens work well. Also, the Camera Raw files don't open in Adobe Photoshop, even CS4. I'm not happy with the slow shutter response time in the full auto mode either. I'm going to return it, I may have gotten a lemon.
