This is a quick edit I did of footage shot with the T2i. Most is a 50mm 1.4 from Canon. There's a bit from my 70-200 f4 L and the sped up stuff (which I have to fix interlacing issue) was from my Panny HMC-150.
This is still a work in progress as I have my friend's Steadicam footage to put in and need to touch up the color/brightness in a few places.

Overall I'm really happy with the T2i's performance as this was my first official shoot with it. I did run across the temperature issue but shut it down for a few minutes and then it ran the rest of the shoot with no issues.

I am also having to learn a very different way of handling a camera. Once my follow focus come in and I get practice not overshooting my marks I think I'll be all set!

Looks great! What were the conditions of the overheating?

Essentially, the T2i was on for almost 2 hours. I was shooting mostly short clips no more than a few minutes each. Near the end of the battery, the temp light started flashing. I shut it down, changed the battery, let it sit for about 5 minutes and turned it back on with no issues for the rest of the shoot which was another couple of hours. Though the second half of the shoot I was not rolling nearly as much video. Still had half a battery left.

Everyone on that shoot was excellent. Very nice people and a joy to work around.
