I just sold my T1i to upgrade to the T2i. For me it was the right decision. Not only is the screen wider and the menus refined, but the new 64 metering zone and new sensor made a big difference. Most notably in the grain at ISOs 1600 and 3200. I am amazed that I can take very usable photos at 3200 that have great color and relatively little noise.
The only thing I wish the T2i had the the T1i has is 720p video at 30fps. The 60fps of the T2i makes for very large files. My class 6 Transcend card can not keep up with it so I got a Sand Disc Extreme III and now it writes videos just fine.
In the end image quality is my number one priority and the T2i delivers clean, sharp, brilliant images every time.

Wanted a step up from compact cameras. I tried the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 but the focus wasn't as fast and low light pictures were not great. Doesn't seem to be a substitute for a good SLR.

I waited very patiently for this camera and was elated when I finally received 2 of them, one for my husband, one for me.
As soon as we used them we noticed a problem with the program modes.
I used Sports Mode for shooting flying birds, mid afternoon in Florida sunshine and the camera kicked the ISO up to 3200!! Needless to say the pictures were way overexposed and really noisy. I called Canon and the Tech I spoke to agreed that was an excessive ISO under the conditions. He even went so far as to go outside and test one of his bodies he had there and got the same result. So it's a programming problem, not my particular camera.
I used the camera at night on Night Landscape and got a 400 ISO!! It's almost like the sensor is backward, giving way too much ISO in sun and not enough in dark.
The only thing Canon could tell me was to shoot in the manual modes then I could control the settings. Well, that's great, but then why even HAVE the program modes on there if they don't perform well? My husband used the analogy of buying a sportscar with both 5 speed and auto transmission. Most times you will use the manual 5 speed, but sometimes you might want to be lazy and use automatic and just cruise. So how would you feel if the auto transmission didn't work??
I can't see paying $900+ for a camera that only has some usuable controls. Luckily I was still under the return time limit, and have sent them both back for a refund. I will stick with my XTi which performs much better.
Note: I only gave it 1 star because that was the lowest I could give for this review. A MINUS one would have been more correct!

canon has this body IN STOCK for the suggested price of $799.
so why is wall street selling it for over $900............greed.
Amazon has it listed for $799 also and is out of stock for another week. So is it worth it to pay $200 more for the body (the kit is available just about everywhere for $899) so what's with the scalping.

I will not repeat what others said about issues with video pan/focus, I noticed the same problem and I would recommend to read the other reviews for detail. Lest stay with the central issue here, the photography itself.
I am disappointed by the layout of the controls. Ever since I met the 3-digit EOS-D cameras, alas 'Digital Rebels', I liked their small size, weight and down to the earth functionality. They were a great 2nd body for me, so its a bit different perspective than the most users who have only a Rebel/EOSnnnD. But as the time progressed, the Rebel's LCD display got bigger and bigger, the buttons were moved to the right side and the left side is a desert. Now seriously, play with with your both hands and tell me: is it really convenient to have left hand useless and the all the controls on the right side only? I do not think so. Here Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Olympus, they all do a better job with controls. The LCD display is more central and both hands can operate the controls more efficiently.
My other issue is the inconvenience in M (manual) mode. Why is the aperture setting so convoluted? One has to hold the Av+/- button down and turn the wheel, but despite year long plead for an improvement, the button is where the nose touches the display. I literally poke myself into my own node when I use my 24mm TSE shift lens! Why not to change this at last, please? What's the big deal? Nothing else would be impacted by using a different button for the aperture setting. Naturally, I never liked the connection of self timer and the "Drive Mode," but here Nikon did the same crime against laws of orthogonal control design...
I also certainly do not like Canon's change from CF cards to the SD cards. Now me and all multi-body users have to suffer through two sets of memory cards, what a travesty... But, here Nikon users have the same problem as well. I guess, we all have to have now the secondary set of SD cards.
Upsetting is the introduction of yet another new battery, expensive like hell, but at least one can get a 3rd party battery at an acceptable cost and use it in the same charger. EOS-7D or EOS-5D mkII users know the drama with the LP-E6 battery, exploding in cost to $200(!!) at times and where the 3rd party battery needs a separate charger, stunning. Here the LC-E8 replacements at least charge in the same charger, but I generally lower two stars in any device for mere introduction of a new battery. Enough is enough, I want to have AA's back.
Other than that, once you press the shutter and see see the result, Canon must be congratulated. The noise property of this display, considering its resolution and price, are stunning by present standards. I even have several perfectly well usable small size images made with ISO-12800! Unthinkable a few years ago. Surely 2-3 stops better than even the expensive Nikon D300/D300s, the competition is in sweat. And it bits to a pulp Canon's own EOS-50D. The sensor of the small Canon is clearly on pair with the EOS-7D. Only the controls are from my standpoint not well designed, but this is something what could be easily improved. Of course the quality of the sensor is the by far most important factor here, I am sure all users will be happy with the achieved results.
Another great improvement is the LCD display, not only int size and the 2/3 side ration! Now the display is clearly on pair with Nikon: Great color and the display can be tilted up/down or sideways with still excellent color fidelity. Older Canon's LCD display used to change color or even reverse it dramatically when the camera was tilted.
To summarize, I like the results, but I traditionally dislike the use Canon bodies for their design of controls. A subjective opinion, not shared by many Canon users.
