			<description><![CDATA[I'm still not even sure I'll get it, but I think I'm leaning toward the T3i.  I would like to get into some photography and I really need a better "real" camera.
Thy was helpful, I'm still considering my options.
Thanks!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Before you choose the Canon EOS 600D/T3i, please take the following into consideration:
- To date, you are unable to have live-view on iStopmotion with a DSLR. This means you shall effectively have to upload every frame from the camera to iStopmotion (through a thing called 'PTP Mode'), which means the absence of useful features like onion-skinning. I asked Boinx on their forums a few months ago if they would ever add this much requested feature, and they basically said they would in the somewhat near future.
- As with the above point, you'll have use another type of capture software (for now!) to get live view, such as DragonFrame ($300) or the included EOS Utility, which I don't know much about... sorry.
- If you want to get into photography, the T3i is a fantastic camera. You're tossing up between an 18MP camera or a 3MP webcam. 

Webcams are:
- Cheaper... probably doesn't matter in this instance
- They are more manoeuvrable is smaller sets.
- They have a much lower, yet still very good, resolution when compared to DSLRs.

There's some food for thought... hopefully it hasn't created more reservations about your choice! :lol:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank's, that does help.  I was mostly checking to make sure there wasn't some weird thing where whatever I pick just doesn't work for brickfilming or something dumb like that.  If it's the T3i it'll be a "joint" present to my mom and I.  

Some things (like swimming) just wouldn't work for me to take pictures (since I'm swimming) and my mom's been scrapbooking for years (mostly swimming) and it's time for a better camera.
I pretty much know nothing about all the stuff like lenses for the camera.  I know some basic stuff like exposure, gain, brightness (kinda obvious), etc.  
Would this be (in whoever's opinion will answer) the best starter kit for brickfilming and normal camera use (plus it's cheaper than the other option)?

Thanks for any help someone can provide,

			<description><![CDATA[I'd say that if she's willing to buy it for you, you should get the t3i. Also, if you're wanting to learn about photography, you shouldn't get a webcam. Third, if you you do get the t3i, you don't have to get another piece of software - it comes with Canon EOS Utilities (no onion-skinning). And finally, if you choose on getting a webcam, I'd recommend the c910 with a mac, and the c920 with a PC (I don't have a mac though, so you'd want to research the c910).
Hope this helps a bit. :)

			<description><![CDATA[I guess my grandma really wants some gift suggestions and it sounds like she wants to get me something for my stopmotion(probably a camera, I don't really have one). I'm not sure whether I should get a webcam like a nice Logitech one or a real camera like the Canon t3i. 
The programs I have are After Effects, iStopmotion, and iMovie(on a Mac).  If I were to get a real camera would I need a different program to plug it in and take/save images/video?  I know I'd need a tripod, I'd probably buy a Gorillapod.  

Or would a webcam work better with what I have?  I use the Logitech Quickcam Pro right now, do you think I should get another webcam closer to what I'm used to?  
I'm leaning towards a camera because I'd like to learn some photography later on.

Basically what I want to know is what you think would be a better use of my (grandma's) money, and if I need something else to plug in the t3i to my computer since I don't want to press the button manually each time.
Thanks for the help!]]></description>
