I like the Canon DSLR cameras like the Rebel T3i.

I have a few friends that use them to film skateboarding and they look pretty good.
Go on youtube and lookup T3i video test or test footage and you'll see you can get VERY high quality video from it. Plus it's a very nice camera for photos too.
Yeah I was thinking about getting the T2i and a guy from a camera forum said
"Well, you listed a still camera and three video cameras. So what is it you want to shoot? I'll guess video. Some dSLRs can shoot video, and shoot pretty good video, but I am still of the mind that if video is what you're after, then get a video camera. To shoot quality video with a dSLR, you need some accessories. For pick-it-up-and-shoot video that most people look for in family gatherings and such, a dSLR is just clumsy. If you want both, but don't want to release the $$$ for both, then get a dSLR that can do video. Just be aware that it's a compromise."
I don't know what he means by accessories other than a 18-55mm lens. I am going to be doing just video, I pictures are none of my concern.
I just looked up on amazon and the T2i is about 100$ more than the T3i? The T3i would be the better camera right?
Also do you know about how much zoom a 18-55mm lens would give me? I don't really know anything about camera's.
