I decided to test the Movie Crop Mode (640×480) on my T2i (550d). The lens that I used was my Canon EF-S 55-250mm at 250mm/F5.6 with a shutter speed of 800 and ISO at 200. Considering it is VGA quality (640×480), the quality is quite acceptable. I know it’s not HD, but I am thoroughly impressed.

A better solution would have been to close the aperture a bit. That way it would have been even sharper. I have the same stuff (550d + 55-250 is) and i noticed that at it’s longest focal lenght you get maximum sharpness at about f8

so that I didn’t overexpose it, otherwise it was overblown.

I’m curious why you used a shutter speed of 800?

I agree. If you’re lucky you can even see black pixels fly across you vision of the moon. Those are satellites and they tend to fly by at the same inclination as the moon itself. Very interesting and a great powerful camera for its price!
