Awesome review--I always get scared about buying a camera, like I'm going to make the wrong choice. This info helps!

The T2i is a great camera. It has the same size sensor as the 7D and 60D but its several hundred dollars cheaper. They all shoot amazing 1080p24 as well as 720p60. One thing I wish these cameras could do is shoot 1080p60 or 720p24. Maybe next camera. I personally own the 7D and love it. I wouldn't buy the T2i mainly because of the UI. Its not very intuitive and some often used functions are several layers deep in the menu. Another thing is it's smaller. Its a plastic encasing which isn't quite as durable as the 7D or 5D MarkII. But if you're not wanting to spend that much money but want great quality video and photos, this is the camera for you. Just make sure you buy a different lens than the kit lens. Tamron and Sigma make some great affordable lenses for Canon.

The T2i is a great trainer camera in my opinion, I have one as my second camera as I moved up to a 60D. Does great video but buy body only and get a Canon Lens, Tamron and Sigma are good too. I don't like the ISO range on the T2i and the body is indeed light but its still a good camera.

Canon just announced the T3i
