I've been looking for a DSLR to film with and Im not sure weather to get the Nikon D3200, Canon T4i or Canon T3i. I have posted one thread under gear and some people said to just go with the T3i and just get a good lens. I know that the lens does make a difference. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

T3i and a good lens. or a t4i and a not as good lens if you want a touch screen. (you don't)

I don't personally know but the general consensus seems to be, Canon films better than Nikon. So between a T3i and a T4i.. The T4i is a T3i with a touch screen as far as I can figure out.
A $200 touch screen? I don't think it's worth it as nice as it would be.

This is the Canon Comparison.

T3i ! then save up for a glidecam and a good lense. then you will be a true NS filmer.

Nikon D3200 and Canon T4i (650D) shoot the same video modes, but the Nikon has a better sensor. It is in fact so much better that it isn't even funny.

You could also consider looking for a deal on a Panasonic GH2 or GH3, which offer better video and better lens choices in a package that is more convenient on the mountain.
