Okay, it's decision day. Gotta do something today for this weekend.

I bought a Zoom H1 and it got here today. I can use it with my SX100 and sync later if all else fails.
By major investment of effort, do you mean to do pro shots on it, like shooting movie scenes or such with it? I don't do that.
T2i looks awesome because its a solid camera all around it looks like. I take video a lot but I take photos a lot more than I take video, and not having to get a dedicated camcorder would be nice. That said, I don't want to get it if it wouldn't be a great photo camera as well. How does it compare to the 60D in those regards? From what I've seen on dpreview, they're both extremely similar...
I'm not sure if I should consider Nikon at all. I'm familiar with Canons so that's what I look at. The other two people shooting what I shoot are using Nikons.
I just want to get something solid that will last me a long time and be a great camera. Mic jack is critical though.
