Okay, any feedback on this? I'm looking for something that has an APS-C sensor and can do good 1080P video. At the moment, the Canon Rebel T2i seems to fit this perfectly. It's under 1k too.

I was going to wait until Christmas. But at the moment I'm just not sure. This upcoming weekend is the end of the season for two stage shows I need to shoot, both photos and video. I've taken video on both my Canon SX100 (SD, good video but no optical zoom, poor mic) and Sony MiniDV camera (SD, good audio, decent video) but would like to get some HD. I had hoped the new Touch would take care of my desire to get HD video but it's just not cutting it. At the same time, as much as I'd like to, I don't know if I can pull off getting an expensive new camera by Friday night, figuring it out, and likely getting an external mic for video as well. The kit lens also wouldn't cut it.

I've looked at the Flips. 720P only, no external mic jack. Also looked at rental prices for stuff but the cost is insane.
