I went to another, "BIG" Best Buy down the road and they had a T1i that worked, although no SD card in it and I got to see the "live view." It was pretty neat. The back LCD screen has a grid that I liked, keeping me from being at an angle to the horizon -- a problem I've had with the Rebel and XSi. The sales guy, very helpful BTW, said I could bring my own SD card and shoot some video to take home and see what I thought. Great idea. I'll get back on this after experimenting. BTW, he said you have to hold the shutter button down while shooting video, not click on, click off, which has me a little concerned.
