Hi! So I have a T2i and it was working great for a while, but recently when I use active mode, and sometimes just the regular shooting mode, the image will appear as though it has saved to the SD card. When I go back to look at it though, a lot of the images that I had previously looked at or JUST taken, are gone. I have formatted the SD card, I've tried different brands of cards.... I am at a complete loss right now on what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

The T2i is a relatively older camera body. You could be seeing signs of imminent failure. Hopefully, what you have is a bad card. A new memory card is dramatically cheaper than a camera body upgrade. Buy a modest card in the 8 to 16 GB range, because that's probably the largest that was available when the camera was released. Avoid buying a micro-SD card, with an adapter, at all costs. Prospects for repairing that camera body are small, mainly due to a lack of spare parts and age.

Have you checked the card (on a computer) to make sure that some of the pictures weren't just put in a different folder?. That can happen if the card was used on a different computer, if the numbering system recycles to the beginning, or possibly for other reasons.
I think it's probably too soon to simply assume that the camera is failing. My wife used a T2i for several years (it's still her backup camera) and never had any issues. I think the problem, if any, is much more likely with the card.
