OR you could buy my panasonic sd100- pretty much brand new havent really used it in the few years ive had it.  Only thing is theres no 60p.  BUT its gonna save you 150 bucks regardless, quality is still killer, ill throw in a handle, filter, 4g hdsc card, lens hood, and maybe a camera bad if we work out a price. 

Leaves you 400 for a tripod, and baby death if you wana jump on a new lens, and a few new hdsc cards.  Everything you need, you could even do without the new lens 100%.

  IMO not becasue i want to sell my stuff BUT thats the best set up you could get for for 900 bucks. Dont even try filming skiing with a HSDC on a 900 budget, totally possiable but...i mean i dont think many people would.

650$ for a t21

300$ for a glidecam...nothing left basically for filters new lens, most importantly a tripod and head, SD cards...DSLRs really add up quickly

and youd still have mney for a nice tripod, and even a gopro if you wanted (or a glidecam) and it comes with a nice wide angle
