this morning my wife and i were talking about getting a new video camera. so i thought why not just upgrade my camera (rebel as) to a better model that will do hd video. i am considering upgrading my camera to the t2i. if i do this i want the camera to have better iso and less noise than my xs.
will i get that with the t2i?
also i will sell my xs its only 6 mos old. how much should i be able to get for it?

Both of my cameras will do video. The file size and the fact that you have to buy additional converters to reduce and edit them make them not very good for video use in my opinion.
I use both of my DSLR's for stills and bought an HD Flip for video. I also have a waterproof point and shoot for underwater video.

This article has been pretty helpful for me.

As far as the price is concerned, search on craigslist for the model you are selling. You can search other locations if one is not listed for yours, eg. |

I don't really recommend an SLR as a video camera for several reasons. The main reason is that its not nearly as easy to use as about any other format of video camera. If the SLR you get has a tilt/swivel LCD, then it might be a little easier to deal with. If it does not, you will find it tedious to use because you will need to have it at eye level to function properly. You will also want to examine the autofocus functionality of the SLR. You might find that it requires manual focus which also gets difficult. If you want simplicity in shooting video, stay away from the SLR option.

I just bought the flip video about a week ago. Zooming sucks, but I don't do video photography so that's not a really big deal. It does a pretty nice job for what I need, and it's quite convenient. You can stuff it in your pocket or camera bag and don't have to worry about cords or film or stuff like that. I like it, but then again, my slr is my camera of preference. FWIW...
