I just found out yesterday that my puchase of the T2i now makes it paramount that I upgrade my Adobe Production Studio Premium CS3 to CS5.5. Iwas going to upgrade anyway but I found out yesterday that CS5.5 now supports the T2i directly. In a video on the Adobe website I saw that I can taake my SD card plug it into the card reader in my laptop access it from Premier Pro and bang its there transcoding happens automatticly no need for to do anything. Best of all it automatically detects and fixes rolling shutter. Omg I can’t wait to upgrade. I haven’t seen it metioned anywhere but with all that Adobe is doing to support DSLR’s it wouldn’t surprise me if there was something in there to make dealing with Moire and Antialiusing issues
much easier. This is getting better all the time.

Thanks for the advice Steve. I purchased the T2i with a 50mm f1.8 lens. You mentioned the Magic Lantern firmware, is that available for the T2i ? If so will that allow me to defeat the audio auto gain control ? I’m thinking I would need the juiced linked d454 for on camera audio right?

Thanks for the advice Steve, Could I also ask about the speed of the lens. I’m looking at an ebay deal( Canon authorized dealer )with 18 to 55mm lens f3.5 on the fast end 5.6 on the other end. Will this be fast enough to get me started or will I need something faster?

Peter have you done any greenscreen with your T2i(550D). Combining keyed footage with Lightwave 3D is what I’m most interested in and thinking of purchasing the Canon T2i. What’s your thought’s on this?

Question for Peter Burger. I’m just about to pull the trigger on purchasing the Cannon T2i (550D)by the recomendation of the DSLR Cinematography Guide from nofilmschool.com. Somewhere I read that the
T2i could only rsolve to 680 lines but it has to be able to resolve to 1080 lines woudn’t it? I was wondering about your experience with the T2i(550D). Can you get what would be considered broadcast quality at 1080p/30fps? I’m planning on doing mostly static camera shots but most of the antialiasing and moire patterns I believe I can fix in post with AfterEffects. Good Quality at 1080p /30fps?
