Zoom H1 looks pretty good. It can connect to an SLR with a mic input like the T2i as well. I'm thinking I'm going to buy it and have it here by Friday. Even if I don't get the T2i right now, I could use it in conjunction with my SX100's video mode, and with a SLR later. Could use CHDK to activate optical zoom for video since I wouldn't have to worry about zoom motor noise on the camera's internal mic anymore.
I'm curious about something though...

This is a sample from the T2i's video. The light level seems jumpy. Is it just the environment they're shooting in? Someone doing a poor job of manual exposure?
