I'm just a beginner, but i'm debating between these two cameras. I will use it for both photography and video. Mostly video. I chose the Lumix G2 over the G3 because I need an external mic option. I also like the touch screen ont he G2, while the Rebel does not have that. But as i've heard, the Lumix G2 is better for videos and the Rebel T3i is better for photos? That's my problem, because I need an excellent camera in both areas. I will be recording for youtube, and photographing for youtube along with photographing other things like horses and nature for example.

Thanks for your help!
I need great quality, great focus, and great zoom mostly. Also, I do not want a crazy big/heavy camera. Apparently the Lumix G2 is 20% smaller and 30% lighter.
