One thing I know with the Canon T2i (and T3i, 60D...) is that on-board camera audio is a non-starter for all but the most casual of applications. Just don't do it - fine for reference audio for syncing later, but for anything else external audio is a must.

Which got me to thinking... kind of like Jerry Maguire: Break down? No, Break Through!

T2i is a trusted friend to Stark Insider as I use it for all our videos now. I cringe when I look back to some of the old shaky Vixia footage.

Note that the image sensor and most of the internals are the same as the T2i so we're not talking major upgrade here.

The Canon T2i is one of the best DSLR camera values on the market.

Speed-wise, while not exactly a Porsche 911, it feels at least like a decent sports coupe, say a Lexus IS350.

My biggest question about the H1 is its sound quality.

Ah, upgrade envy; the affliction of us who spend waking moments lusting after the latest gadgets, and reading too much Engadget, CrunchGear and Stuff.tv.

The dramatic web—sprawling beautifully in the city lights—caught my attention immediately as I was enjoying an evening Cab, and in a flash I was out there with the T2i.

He definitely kept a compound eye on me, while I maneuvered, awkwardly by comparison, to get these shots with the Canon T2i.
