Should I buy the Canon T3i or T2i?

Q. I'm buying a new SLR camera, coming from a Sony ax, and I'm set on either a T3i or T2i. I will be primarily using the camera for filming but of course for photography, too. I'm told that it's not worth the extra money to buy the T3i because the T2i is just a good. So which one?

A. If you want a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor and wireless flash photography get a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. if no want that features get a Canon EOS Rebel T2i.

External/Field Monitor recommendation for focus in videography?

Q. Hey guys, I shoot music videos with my Canon 7D. I often have to adjust my manual focus on a moving subject. However, I have at times found it hard to determine if I have the most accurate focus on the subject on the small LCD screen on the back of the camera. Depending on the environment and space restrictions, it may be difficult to be right behind the camera looking closely at the pixels to see if they are in 100% focus as opposed to like 90%. I am currently researching external/field monitors to attach or mount to my 7d and or tripod. Originally when starting to search, I was looking for a monitor with NATIVE resolution of 1080p, but I'm starting to think that these aren't very common, if made at all. Even some 3,000 monitors are only 800x400 native resolution. The most common high resolution I've seen so far is 1024x600. There are a few exceptions. The really expensive monitors have all of these cool features but I don't believe I will need any of that. I usually shoot a neutral/flat picture style and then do my color grading and editing in post-production with Sony Vegas Pro; so the extra features won't be needed at the time of production. My main purpose of getting an external monitor is to be able to more easily determine if I have maximum focus on my subject. I would not like to spend more than $400 if possible. I believe a 7inch would probably be my best bet with an hdmi connector. Does anyone have recommendations for my situation? Or thoughts on what to consider when researching these external monitors? Will there be a dramatic difference in determining focus in a cheaper 800x400 monitor vs more expensive 1024x600 monitor?

Thanks guys!
