Oh yeah, and the HD video is nice too I'm sure, but I bought an HD camcorder and my Rebel is a couple of years old and doesn't do video at all so I can't really comment other than to say that, for me, the audio quality isn't really that critical anyway, having that beautiful 1080p picture makes up for audio quibbles. The camcorder I bought does 1080p60 video at a bargain price but doesn't allow hookup of an external mike. I wouldn't dream of going the other way now that I've had it for awhile. If it was that important, you could pick up a standalone mike and recorder and mix it on the computer anyway.
I agree. The T1i is the better buy (as you mentioned, the HD video, LCD and processor). Makes me want to upgrade to that (or the 7D if I had the cash).
