canon rebel t1i - shoots 1080p

sucks it only shoots at 20fps.

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0903/09032504canoneos500d.asp

1920 x 1080 (1080P, 16:9) @ 20 fps
1280 x 720 (720P, 16:9) @ 30 fps

For $900 you don't get to complain.


Rebel T1i vs Nikon D5000 video comparison. Not exactly apples to apples, but Nikon is still jello-licious.

The whole knock on the EX1 by the HVX crowd has always been the rolling shutter used due to the CMOS sensors (in spite of the fact that Sony had their best engineers working on minimizing it in their A/D converters).

This slew of new video DSLRs, using their huge (video wise) CMOS sensors is going to give new meaning to the term.

I'm sure we'll see some very nice video out of these cameras when it's shot right and doesn't strain the current limits of the technology but there will be limits and when one hits them they'll be in for a big surprise!
