Canon EOS 550D (EOS Rebel T2i / Kiss X4) review

Bought this camera for photos AND video. Photos are ok. Nothing to complain about. However no significant step over 500D.
Video is very disappointing. FullHD is pretty soft and 720p is even softer and suffers from jaggies. I tested several lenses which are ok and the videos are always very soft. Focus is no problem, but this camera isn´t able to record sharp videos.
I bought this camera also because of the video feature and it is just disappointing.
Even cheap camcorders are better.

Problems:

If you want to buy this camera because of video, you will be disappointed. Get an cheap camcorder instead.
