Could you just plop this on a tripod and film for 1 hour?

specs say movie recording up to 29 min 59 sec (or max file size 4 GB).

I was wondering If I should just get the t3i for pics and video or get another camcorder.

after 30 minutes, you will need to let the sensor cool down..
usually a few minutes

^the movie record limit is due to tax dodging iirc.
if a camera can record more than 29 min 59 secs it is classed as a video camera and subject to more / a different tax bracket. which is why so many stop at 29:59.
Im sure some hack firmware like magic lantern removes this restriction though.
I know some dslr's like the sont SLT (a55, a33,a77,a99 etc) suffer from sensor overheat for long filming periods.
I dont think the canon sensor do. Im sure some qbners will though. I think Autoflavor + miguex use canon for video work, Moldero is a video man too but I think uses big rig video cameras.

Get "Magic Lantern"
It allows you to dummy hack your camera to do more.
But if there is hardwear over heating issue then use it at your own risk.

i hated canon for years(born and bred nikoin) but the T4i i used for the last few months blew me away for the price point. If your gonna spend the money on a T3i i would go for the 4 there is a whole grip of improvements.

I use T3i for filming and it's great, not had any overheating problems as of yet. I use magic lantern to over come the 29.59 issue.
Great camera for the price!
