Overall the amount of information available on Youtube for Sony Vegas is priceless, sometimes you just have to sift a bit.

Much obliged good sir, truly is appreciated.
Bronco, Matt, Movieguy.. very cool of you.. this entire thread is exactly what I needed!
Movieguy,
I was going to buy the T3i.. but as a relative newbie, I opted for the Canon Vixia HF G10. Luckily it DOES have native 24p.. so I'm off to a good start to achieve that film look.
I am aware about the depth of field tip as well, and figured out the zoom trick, seriously a good tip.. thanks. I still plan to get the T3i, but I thought it easier to familiarize myself thoroughly with a dedicated video recorder first.
I will take Eric's advice and start playing with some small clips to achieve the look I'm going for, and then reproduce it later.
I know I have a lot of lens work ahead of me, and that's ok.. it will cost some money for the learning curve but I'm ok with it.. I know lenses are incredibly important to achieving different looks. Especially filmish type looks.
But for right now I want to see how close I can get to a decent type of film look with just 24p, depth of field and some other post techniques.. as limited as I may be.
You guys kick ass.. can't thank you enough.
