Discussion on the cameras

I had forgot to mention the Canon T4i in the video, but the Canon T4i would be a great holiday present for someone, it is an excellent entry-level dSLR choice. Not much has changed from the T3i, except for improved video focusing, but it is still the best entry-level choice.  - Scott
