Look in Media & Arts to find edits shot with it (or search t3i on Vimeo) and to see if it is the right camera for you

That's pretty cheap for a decent lens, here's the link to the Media & Arts forum, where you can learn about DSLR's and what you need for a decent setup. If you think $400 is expensive for a decent lens you might not want to consider a DSLR setup at this point, because you'll be looking at $2k+ for a decent setup.

Same image sensor as t2i and 7d. So any edit with those cameras will yield the same video quality. The lens you use will make a noticeable difference though.

nah, don't get that. The 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens is ok at best, and will last you for a little while until you learn the ropes. but that other lens will be just a waste of money. try to avoid lenses with non fixed apertures (meaning lenses that say something like f/3.5-5.6 instead of just f/3.5), especially for video. if $400 is more than you see yourself being able to spend on a lens in the future, a DSLR is not for you.

as has been said, the T2i, T3i, 60D, and 7D all have the same sensor, so video will look the same out of all of them. Check out the vimeo link in my sig for tons of T2i edits, and you can even see some with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens if you go back far enough (they're called Cats & Rollerblades, Animals, and How to Ask Fran to Prom).

That's a prime and you'll have limited usability with that, and please don't cheap out on a lens. If you want something somewhat versatile for a first lens, check out the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. If you still think that is "expensive," once again a DSLR probably isn't for you.
