    The first minute of the short is probably one of the best shot sequences I have seen here so far, absolutely perfect angels, as the film progressed things seemed to go a bit downhill.

    What does "Kiss X4" stand for in the T2i 550d Rebel model?

    I was just about to complete the purchase of my T2i, and noticed that the model I was buying is a Kiss X4, however many T2i listings don't hold this designation. Forgive my ignorance, but do you have any idea of what it stands for?
