As far as which camera I prefer, I would say the t1I for its size and weight and of course video. But as far as pure image quality goes, the 40d is probably higher on the food chain.

You really video taped yourself opening the camera box!?

Man… I was actually one of the first to preorder the T1i from B+H but I cancelled it that effing night after trying my friend’s 40D- no joke!

It really depends on what you want to shoot I suppose. Video is not an issue for me so it really boils down to image quality. The 6.5 fps on the 40D is important because I like to shoot sports, airplanes, wild life etc. BUT make sure you have a fast lens with that or there’s no real point.

(read this after my first message below)

The 40D is bigger and heavier but that works well if you have larger hands and it will act as a counterweight for heavier lens. The magnesium alloy body also gives the internal mechanics more protection (I’ll be taking the camera on a lot of trekking so I know that’ll be a nice reassurance).

There’s so much more to consider but I sincerely think that you cannot go wrong with either body… the lenses are going to be more important anyway hahaha

looks like it.

I really want to get this camera instead of buying a dslr and an HD video camera.

And do you have a treble clef on your arm? haha

Unboxing videos are awesome. I just specifically searched for this because I’m planning to get this camera soon, and I wanted too see what was in store for me.

Sox game in the background is annoying as hell.

yeah i cant control my roommates.

Dude, I just got mine two weeks ago…I love it. HD video is amazing. I only tested though. I can’t wait to go out and shoot some video. It’s alot better than Nikon D5000.
