I recorded a concert my wife conducted using a borrowed $4,000 Sony HD camcorder that looked really sharp and shot nicely in low light. I could never justify spending $4,000 on a camera that I'll probably use 10-20 times, but I also didn't like the idea of buying a sub $1000 1080p video camera that had crappy low light shooting. Enter the T2i. $830 (for the kit, with Bing cashback, RIP) and it shoots even BETTER video than the $4000 video camera. For the pieces my wife writes, I'm usually on a tripod doing a wide shot anyway, and I'm usually indoors where it's low light, and the results from the T2i are stellar. Unfortunately, being a "still camera that also does video" it does have it's drawbacks. I can't hit record, then leave it for an hour... it only shoots about 12 minutes of 1080 footage at a time, and the last time I shot about 45 minutes of footage, I started to get overheating warnings on the camera. Nonetheless... this is the beginning of something awesome. Professional video is about to go the way professional audio went.
