Hi ! i it would mostly be for filming and can take good picture.. i have 600$ right now that i will put in it and my parents
would pay the other part for christmas ! so i was thinking about something around a 1000$ setup!

i read a lot on NS about the T2i which seems a good choice because it look exactly what i'm looking for.. but for
1000$ i will have the body, good lense ? and what ?

and if i tell you that i never did picture/filming before except with my gopro and a small cheap camera but i will take
the time to know how it works..

also saw this one, which seem a pretty good deal ? and come with another lense !

if you really want to break into the dslr world, 1000 is pushin it for the body and a good lens. i know there are decent lenses you can get with that but not sure what cuz i haven't been looking lately. but that being said, you will definitely want a tripod and/or some kind of glidecam or other stabilization which can run up from about 300 bare minimum and you will still need high class sd cards probably want extra batteries and that would at least get you started. then depending on what exactly you're gonna be filming mostly (skiing or other non skiing related projects) you may want a better mic and the necessities for that which can be roughly another 200 ish. not sure on exact prices but you get the idea and everything else, minus the mic if you don't need sound, is pretty essential so just be aware that a 1000 dollar budget may limit you quite a bit in the lens category at first with the other things you need. hope this helps

1000$ is not enough for a good setup for both filming and taking photo's.

You should pick either or increase your budget.
