I really didn't want to clog this forum with another "What camera do i film with this winter?!!!?!!?" thread. But I ran into some money and I have to enough to buy a DSLR. A little present for myself.

Anyways, I found a refurbished T2i on b&h for like 250 bucks, And i'm reallly close to pulling the trigger on it, but the flip out screen on the t3i seems so much more appealing to me.

My budget on the camera, (body only, i have lenses and tripods mics, etc) is like 400 bucks. The t3i is like 4 years old so i figured it'd be pretty easy to find a bargain on one.

Member DUMBCAN found these for me.

https://www.keh.com/283766/canon-60d-digital-camera-body-18-1-m-p

The 60d is pretty much out of my price range, but if i found one of the right price i would be interested in it.

SO BASICALLY what i'm asking is for your guy's help with finding me a t3i for or under 400 dollars. The link above seems like a good deal but if i can find something cheaper i'd be stoked.

Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who has a t2i and i have a t3i and I would personally say that you should get the t3i because it is more focused on film where as the t2i is better at taking photos. The t2i is also good at shooting film but canon put more focus into filming with the t3i. but then again that is my opinion and i am pretty new to photography and filming.

Definitely check out ebay, or even amazon in the used section. I was perusing ebay the other day, and stumbled across a t3i for less than $300 that was "like new", sold by someone with 100 percent seller feedback. Unfortunately I didnt bookmark it (I think I'm going to look into the gh2 instead), but if you look hard enough, there are some great deals.

forgive me if I'm wrong, but are they not virtually the same camera minus the articulating screen?

yes, and a few more options as well as some extra shooting modes. There is nothing about the T2i that is better than the T3i.
