Shoot 1080p For Less than $1000

As Moore's Law suggests, the power of a technology and its cost to produce that same power are exponentially related. Every 18 months to 2 years, a technology will be half as expensive to produce the same capabilities. Canon's new Rebel T2i is no different.

One can now, for the relatively modest price of $800, shoot 30 frame per second- 1080p movies from a digital SLR. On top of that, the camera takes beautiful resolution images at 18 megapixels, ISO between 100 and 6400, and a continuous shooting function that takes 3.7 pictures per second. The camera will be released in March.
