Best Canon Cameras For Filming and Photography?

I've been looking into the Canon Rebels but lately I haven't been sure about buying one...I'm looking for a camera for YouTube and also for good quality photography, preferably a Canon. It shouldn't be anymore than $600 if possible, and I want it to be good quality without having to buy new lenses. Thank you!

    Uhh, yeah...Nice copying and pasting from Wikipedia, dude. Yes, you need to use 35mm film. The most common type of film. It comes in canisters and you can find it almost anywhere. Now, finding GOOD film is another matter. Most places nowadays just carry crappy 400 ASA consumer-level film. To get the most out of your camera, go for something a little less general-purpose and cheap. 400 ASA isn't bad, but the higher the speed, the more grain you get. Grain is like digital noise. Except not quite as ugly...and sometimes used for artistic effects. If you see 135 on a box, for some reason it means 35mm, though I have yet to figure out why. Some of the most famous kinds are Fujichrome Velvia 50, Provia 100F, Kodachrome 64, Ilford, Efke, Tri-X, and T-MAX. The final four are black and white, and the first three are slide (or positive) films. I'm not really familiar with good colour print films, but I've used Fujicolor 200 a couple times and it's nice. Oh, and I think all those B&W films are also "real B&W". Just meaning they use a hand-developed process rather than C-41. It may cost more to get it done, unless you buy a dark bag, developing tank, and chemicals. That only gets your film developed, though. For printing, you either need a full darkroom or to bring your developed negatives to the laboratory to have them printed from there. Printing would be the regular price. It's only the developing that's more expensive than C-41 film, because it's done by hand.

    Wow $600 for YouTube photography! At least no one can call you cheap. Have you priced the macro lens you will want? or the 50-200mm? or perhaps a portrait lens of 50mm or 70mm? As my illustration compliments "fhotoace's" comment that a "DSLR camera is only the tip of the iceberg".

    $600 you say? Look at the Canon t3i... it doesn't do "filming" but it does capture video. I own one and I get excellent video results with mine.
