I have the T1i, but the T2i is available and for a few extra bucks it may be worth it for you.
:thumbup:
Call me biased..
I was going after the T1i until I realized the T2i was available... and yeah... it's $100 more... and for someone who's racked up more (non-school related debt) than any 23 year old on the face of the planet should have ever managed to rack up (Don't worry, I've repented from my sins and am now married to, who I have dubbed, my personal finance manager ...and/or allowance distributor...

), $100 is a huge deal. But looking at the numbers... I was already going to pay $800... what's another $100 for the next step up?
Now if the T1i was only $500 and the T2i was $900... then maybe I would have stuck with the T1i... but... It was worth saving up for a month... because that's all it really takes. Save the $25/week party allowance for a month and ya got yer' self a T2i.
