if you are looking to shoot more video than anything, t2i for sure. if stills, go for the t1i.

both take 1080p video, but max fps on t1i is 20, while the t2i can do 30. also 3 more megapixels on the t2i. definitely go for the t2i if you are using it primarily for video

alright thanks. ive been watching both. i can see why the t2i is better but both look pretty solid. is the kit lens good to use for a while without getting any different ones?

yea, you'll last. But seriously, you should just go with the t2i, better features that you can experiment with down the road, where as the t1i would severely limit you

Ok sounds good. Im pretty new to dslr's so I didnt know about the lens situation. but if the kit that comes with the camera is good, ill probably go for the t2i.

I have one, it's a great lil camera. You'll learn a ton about dslrs when you get it, don't worry about it. Enjoy!

I shoot nikon. but if video is important to you, spend the extra for the t2i and you will be happier in the end.
