Canon Rebel T2i vs. Nikon D90

So I'm very new to the whole slr game, but I've asked around and read into it a bit and it would seem that the D90 sets the standard for entry-level enthusiasts and what not. It's the best you can get without going crazy over budget. Probably its biggest competitor is the Canon Rebel T2i.

Now I read through this comparison review of the two cameras (You should read it Yili, if you haven't its very interesting).

It boils down to a few conclusions. Firstly, overall the D90 is superior in terms of its construction, its lenses, its durability, its processors etc. All of that. Overall the quality is better.

However, the T2i is better in terms of video shooting because of the many different video outputs and settings as well as a very handy external mic plug-in.

These two conclusions leave me in an awkward position. I feel like I hsould take the D90 because overall its better, but when I think why I really want the camera (for shooting video) I feel like having more options for the shooting and an external mic would be very handy, so I feel like I should take the T2i.

If you read through this discussion board , you really get the feeling that the D90 is a sturdier weather-proofed camera made mostly for pictures, while the T2i is a somewhat more delicate (or poorly made) camera that is much better suited for shooting video. Urgghhhh what to do???

For now I'm just going through Vimeo looking at videos shot by both cameras. In the end thats the best way to tell for now. Although that external mic keeps ringing in the back of my head... that seems very important somehow.

Anyway, I feel like a kid waiting for christmas, or a horny old man who can't wait to get to the strip club so he can finally get some ass or something lol. I want to get one asap! but ill take my time and make the right choice... maybe next time I walk through Futureshop I wont just stare at them, I'll ask about them...
