A side by side comparison shows:-

Pros.

Better battery life (700 images as opposed to 440 with T1i)

I've been shooting with a T2i for almost 10 months now and I get well over 1000 images (RAW) per charge on my battery.  1400 would be a fair guesstimate.  Where do people get these numbers?  I don't use in-camera flash (use a 430EXII) but I do use a big ole 70-300 IS USM and pretty much leave IS on 100% of the time.
