Video on the Canon T1i

Tuesday, February 09, 2010, by
When looking for a new DSLR there is much more to consider than simply the image quality. Canon recently unveiled the Rebel T2i and one of the main features they are trying to advertise from day 1 is not the exceptional image quality, but the fact that it shoots 1080p HD video (an advertising position which has not changed from the original T1i, which I recently purchased).
Can a portable still-camera's video really useful for the amateur photographer looking to get into videography though? I decided to test the T1i's video and see if it really performs as well as claimed. I think the results speak for themselves:
UPDATE: Sorry, I had to remove the HTML5 player. Apparently the MP4 link I was getting from YouTube isn't static. If anyone knows how to get a static link let me know.

Very cool. I have the T1i myself and the video capability is a really nice feature.

Indeed, very nice portfolio you've got there (I love the Clingman's Dome stuff). I really need to get mine organized and start shooting more.
