This is an excellent comparison video produced by Dave Dugdale over at YouTube. He basically compares the Canon 5D Mark II to the Canon T2i and gives us some really nice examples of what both of them are capable of. Believe it or not, they're so close in comparison, you may not even be able to tell the difference, as noted by Dave in the video. Back in the day, I was looking into a great DSLR for video and I know that this video would have came as a great help to me. Therefore, I'm hoping that I'll be able to help someone else out that may be in the same situation.
