The Canon "Rebel" T2i - Digital Cinematography at $899?

I've often joked about HD cameras that will come free in a box of cereal or a McDonalds Happy Meal (makes you sick even to think about it eh?). Well, today, I've come across a interesting toy that is going to upset a lot of people. The Canon "Rebel" T2i, here's my initial thoughts.
Canon's latest 1080p full HD DSLR may have obliterated the price floor of basic, entry level "digital cinematography". Much of the camera is based on the technology of Canon's more expensive 7D including the 7D's 18 megapixel CMOS imager. The price point does come with some concessions, a 9-point autofocus system being one of them compared to the 7D's 19 focus points, and it has a four channel channel reader vs the 7D's eight.
