I just got done looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T1i
First Hands On and think I found my next camera... Santa I know what I want for X-Mas!!
So what we have here is almost the exact sensor from the 50D—a 15.1 megapixel CMOS with sensitivities up to ISO 12,800 at its top-end H2 boost setting. And almost the exact same HD capture from the 5D Mark II—the only change is that 1080p video is captured at 20fps, down from the 5D Mark II's 30fps. You can step down to 720p video at 30fps, though, for the same buttery smoothness we've seen on the 5D Mark II. Other aspects of the video capture mode have actually been improved over the 5D Mark II, which we'll get to in a second.

I want to know what they are going to do to replace the 50D once this comes out, as who'd want to buy a 50D when this does pretty much the same!

I was so mad when I saw the press release on Gizmodo. Now I'm tempted to buy just the body of that camera, but I haven't even explored what my Rebel XS can do.

I wasn't too happy either when I read about this the other day..mainly because I was gonna use my tax return on either a 50d or my computer...or even this:)..if Id've known bout this camera Id've probably done a little rethinking on my tax spending
..my XTI is nice but I really don't like its low light performance and the 50D wouldve been great...this might be a godsend but I'm holding out til I see some results..Wonder what my Pops is gonna think when I tell him bout this when he just bought his XSI in January
