Honestly, if those are your two choices, price difference aside, the 7D is hands down a better choice. Aside from image quality and a nicer kit lens (sell it for more and put it towards a nicer lens), you've also got better weather sealing and build quality. Even the shutter :click: feels that much better. Also, you get 19 autofocus points vs the 9 you get on the t2i. The 7D is also rated at 150,000 actuations while the t2i only has 100,000. Sure 100,000 clicks/photos is a lot, but that extra 50k sure means a nicer build quality. OH, and you've also got a fps thats hampered by the SD card. Your continuous shots are limited in speed to the SD card and max out at 3.7 fps. The 7D uses a CF card and hits 8 fps.
I went from the XSi to the 50D and love the jump. The T1i felt too similar to the XSi (which i had for a weeK). Sadly, I want a 5D MK II or a 1D now but I'm forever keeping the 50D as a side shooter. I also have a Nikon D80 but I prefer Canon glass so I stick to Canon.
Agreed, but why not then the 5D if you have the budget?

who you guys talking about? lol. I'm not ball1n!

I would love to have a 5D mkII, but I wouldn't even know where to start with it! I'm coming from an XSi and I still don't know **** about photography. I just wanted to upgrade and have some video! there's no point in buying something like that when I wouldn't even be able to use it to a tenth of its capabilities.

now, it looks like Nikon will FINALLY be updating their cameras, so since I'm not in a rush, it may be best to wait to see what Nikon comes out with. at the very least, Canon will have some specials on the 7D then.

Lol, used to have the old body. Trying to upgrade to a 1D mk IV but works been slow so I haven't had the upgrade funds lol. I did however see a 1D IV on craigslist the other day for 60% off and it was new... I was going to buy it and then sell it for 4000 but I figured it was either stolen or a clone... Woulda been nice tho.

Well, 1D mk IV isn't that much of a step up from the Mk2, to be honest; the only thing that much better is the low light. I had the old 5D as well.

I just wanted to upgrade and have some video! there's no point in buying something like that when I wouldn't even be able to use it to a tenth of its capabilities.

now, it looks like Nikon will FINALLY be updating their cameras, so since I'm not in a rush, it may be best to wait to see what Nikon comes out with. at the very least, Canon will have some specials on the 7D then.
Haha no worries, I hear ya. The XSi or 7D should be good, but I'm not too fond of Nikon video, especially seeing their stuff on the D90 and D3000. Canon actually thinks of potential videographers and journalists, while Nikon just puts in there as an after-thought, and to stay competitive with Canon.

I used to be bad into airsoft. Really bad. I used to play w/ the Tac Force guys a bit and then they all stopped b4 I did.
Anyways, I was obsessed. All my gear was super modded and I only had the brands that mattered. Because of that they gave me the callsign "Prada".
I miss my Stubby killer though..
