(600-800)... I bought the T1i with the same idea. Now that I've used the video function a couple times, I think I'll still have to buy a dedicated camcorder if I want to take long videos (clips more than a few mins). The quality of the T1i video is great. But the camcorder will be so much easier to use with the quicker AF and Wide/Tele zoom functions. Oh, and the mic on the T1i is not that great either. I'll use the T1i video for quick video clips (10-15 secs) that I will put together in video montages set to music. BTW, good luck with the new baby. I have one coming too. My take (still waiting for body-only version of T1i) is that T1i may not be great for quick, casual home movies of your kids - get an amateur cheap camcorder. It might be more appropriate for more professional-type video shooting, when you have time to set up lighting, focus and camera movement the way pro filmmakers do, using different lenses, DOF, and many of the tools photographers use. The T1i may get results that one cannot get with a cheap camcorder, albeit requiring more skill and effort.

I considered doing an unboxing set, but The box is ridiculous looking, the packaging reminds me of Nerf products. I really wanted a 5dII but this is what I could afford. and Canon really drives this home by packaging it to look like it came from Toys R Us. As for the camera it self I Really liking it so far. Easy to navigate and the LCD screen is beautiful. Might even take a mini road trip this weekend just to break it in. I wish Canon would be better about getting info to Apple and Adobe. It bums me out that the T1i's RAW files are not yet supported in Aperture. Please keep reporting on results... I'm waiting till B&H gets body-only, they now only have kit of T1i.
