So I guess what I'm looking at is either buying the Rebel T3 locally for $339
The T3 is a pretty good deal, but getting a lightly used T2i would be an even better one.
Look at your local craigslist ads, you'll be surprised how cheap you might find one.
Does it still have better quality than the C920?
Ok, new topic. Any ideas on lamps? What works best? LED or normal lamps? What kinds are best?
I haven't animated anything in years, but this is what I got recently:
3x desk lamps and 3x fluorescent bulbs.
I plan on getting some diffusion & color gels to clamp onto the lamps with clothespins.
Cool. Also, what's your guys' experience with USB extension cables. Does the quality of the webcam go down the more you add?
I only use one, but my quality is just as good using it as not, as far as I know.
Just a tad bit. If you were to use a hundred, then your quality would go down a ton + the speed would go down + if you were to do a video the audio would be unsychronized. So yeah, don't do a hundred extension cords. 
I think the LED lights are the best, they don't use too much electricity power and they are amazing for animation lighting but they are expensive. Anyway, I use normal desklamps, 2 medium desklamps. I love them, but sometimes they were nasty. I mean they could glint off at 0,50 minutes and then switch back on.
I think kcirbfilms has great quality and pretty good lighting, so don't change it without good reason and better way to animate or light the table or studio you have.
