because the price of T2i and the 50D are almost the same, I think 50D should be a better choice. I would not doubt that you can get pretty good pictures with your T2i for sports, but I also believe that you have missed some good pose/moment/shots because of the longer shutter lag and slower burst rate. oh, and slower speed of AF of your T2i.
