    to say the image, especially video footage from a t1i is indistinguishable from that of a 5dmk2 shows a great deal of ignorance regarding the subject. though the images/video may be captured at a similar or even greater size. the sensor is suffering from a crop factor of 1.6. this will result in a narrowed field of view forcing you to have to back up to fill the frame and ending up with flatter images. there will also be a loss of natural vignetting with that field of view. you'll actually only be capturing about half of what is going through the lens on the sensor. to use a crop factor lens is to waste available lens light and view.

    congratulations on your purchase none the less.

    • whatever...if you're good with the T2i, and think, and light well, you can make nice video...vaxorcist
    • crop factors are not the root of all evil, they're just a technical choice....vaxorcist
    • i hope you're not talking to me, i said t2i, not t1i. and +1 vaxorcist. Crop factors arent the be all and end all.Hombre_Lobo
