Thanks for the response! I’m afraid I wasn’t very clear, my bad– I don’t own a t3i. I own a t3, but have never used it for video. I’ve used the t3i by renting it through my school’s film department. So I’m trying to decide if I should seek out a t3i of my own or maybe invest in a “higher” level camera. I get what you’re saying about bodies constantly changing, and I really need some lenses/ audio equipment of my own too.
