So i have been looking at buying a DSLR for some time now to up my filming to the next level from a GoPro. I have been looking alot at the T3i because of the flip - out screen compared to the T2i.
Anyway so i found this deal on a used T3i (body only) for 580$, he has the receipt, original packing and all that. A new t3i in Denmark with kit lense 18-55mm costs about 800$, so should i take this deal or go down to a t2i, I can get a t2i used for 490$ (body)..

I'm looking to film skiing, photos too ofc and alot of skateboard filming using a Tamron 17-55m Wide Angle lens

So should i take the t2i or t3i? Would the LCD screen be much of an advatage?


Let me know! Thx NS

Flip out screen is a big help for video imo.. seriously it must get so annoying without it

Id just get it new. You can sell the kit lens for about 70 bucks on ebay, so that means its only 100 bucks for for a new body compared to a used one.

If you need to put up a thread to verify it you shouldn't

it might cost more but get it from a trusted dealer like canon itself so if something fails you have a good trust on the warranty
