So im in the market for a new camera and it has come down to these two. I would be more into video than photos but fairly equal. I understand that the most prefer nikon glass and the D90 has a better sensor from what i have been reading. I also see that the t2i is a 18 mp camera while the D90 is a 12.3mp. I also see the the D90 is more than a couple hundred more than the t2i. This is just what i have seen from looking around online. Any help is very welcome

thanks

Dude, fucking look it up. We're not here in M&A to hold your hand through the process of buying a camera. Use google, it know everything and will answer your questions for you.

^this. You'll learn a lot more through reading and searching (more than you may be looking for, which isn't a bad thing.) than asking / waiting for replies. Just figure out what set-up would be more accustomed to what your looking to use it for. But yea stick to Canon for video.

D90's video is horrible. http://vimeo.com/26528995 example. The only reason I use it to film is because i never expected to get into mini edits. Anyways, photo wise d90>t2i. But you need to figure out what you want, better pictures or video.
