No problem, everyone’s happy to help! If you want shallow depth of field, then the 50mm 1.4 is the best bang for your buck. It has some great reviews. The only problem is that if you want to take pictures with zoom, you can’t. Now this wouldn’t be a problem, except if you are a beginner and haven’t found out what you wanted to shoot yet. It’s funny, I’m in the same situation as you. I’m also planning on buying the 60d. I’ll most likely go with the 15-85mm lens, because they are really good all purpose lens, and perhaps in the future I’ll know what I want to shoot. Here is a review on the 18-55mm from a site that does great reviews on lens,

https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-S-18-55mm-f-3.5-5.6-IS-Lens-Review.aspx

In conclusion, if you want shallow depth of field, 50mm 1.2/1.4/1.8 is the way to go on your budget.

Canon is used more in the industry, by indy filmmakers and it has more lens/customization available. The GH2 is poorly marketed, much smaller, and doesn’t have as great lens available (Canon L Series for example). It’s just my opinion, though.

If you want to get into cinematography, then go with the T3i, 600d, or the 60d (More expensive).

If you just want to take HD video just as a hobby, then a Panasonic GH2 is probably good for you, but it costs a bit more.

If you want to get into photography, go with the Nikon D7000, which has better auto-focus points and less noise at high ISO’s, making it superior to Canon’s picture quality, but a little less when it comes to video.

Good luck!

How do you like the feel of the GH2, physically?

I don’t want to seem mean, but your footage seems very out of focus. You should fix that next time you film.

Sorry I was referring to FCP,

Is there a way you can make one clip out of an audio file and a video file? So when I go to select my IN and OUT points, the audio is already synced in the video file?

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try that next time I’m filming!

Cheers, and thanks to everyone for your responses.
