Yessir, the T2i is the bomb. 50 1.4 and 2x 50 1.8. I wanna pick up a 24 1.8 or a 30 1.4.

You should just get a T2i.

I'd consider that, but I love having a full frame camera for photog use. So either I keep the 5D and get a T2i or I just get a 5DmkII. I'll probably suck it up and do that latter.

I subscribed to your videos on youtube. Looking forward to more.

Great video, and the editing as usual is very impressive.

I don't understand comments like these. It sounds like one of those Corvette fanguys talking about how they run laps on Ferrari's, but paid half the price.

The arguement is one of foolishness, do you really think the people who buy exotics think there as fast as space shuttles? No. You spend 150k on an exotic because of what it stands for.(And if I have to explain that to you, you probably have no desire to own on) Of course it's not the fastest car on the street, who cares?

OP, very nice vid

BEST POST IN THE THREAD!

Exactly! the Mitzu EVO car 420 they had on top gear is faster than the Lambo and CTS-V and costs about 45k. Do you want 1 ? great value for somebody... not me.

I will take my M5 any day...even if its fractionally slower than a Cadillac... its still a Cadillac...I've seen these up close and driven one. Fast - no question, but the fit and finish do not compare.
