Can i use my slr's external wireless flash during video?

I just bought a sigma EF 610 DG SUPER external flash to go with my nikon d5100.i've never used an external flash before and i'm still familiarising myself with it but i think so far i've managed to understand its basic functions when used for still photography. I was wondering though is it possibly to use my flash as an open source of light during a video shoot? Or are these only capable of making instantaneous flashes?

I have the feeling it most probably does not do what i just asked but i'm just hoping, it would help me a lot if it does.

Torn between the two

Nikon D5100 vs Canon T2i
I like them both but of course I can't get both.

I like how the Nikon D5100 has 11 AF Points vs 9 on the Canon and that the Nikon D5100 has a newer sensor. While the Canon T2i sensor is a 2009 sensor.
BUT, I also like how the Canon gives you really good videos. Also I'm more familiar with Canon lenses than Nikon. (Had a Canon before) Nikon lenses confuse me cause they have all these XD Lenses and FX lenses. It all confuses me.
Their both like apples and oranges to me honestly. If I pick Nikon, I will lose the great video quality that Canon gives me but, If I pick Nikon, I get 11 AF Points and a newer sensor. But I'm confused with the lenses and etc. Never really picked up a Nikon.
Please tell me which one I should pick. I can always get the Nikon and just video tape on a compact camera from canon. So should I just go with that?

Tips for shopping on Ebay?

I'm a photographer and am looking to upgrade my camera. I want to buy a Nikon D7000, preferably in a kit that comes with two lenses, a carrying case, and a memory card. I found a kit on Ebay for about $1, 200.
I've never bought anything off of Ebay before, and this looks pretty sketchy even though all the reviews I've read are positive. It's highly undervalued for a camera kit of its kind, which is why I feel it's sketchy.
Anyone have any tips or advice?
Here's the link to the camera, please if you think it's a rip off, let me know!

Canon EOS 60D DSLR or Nikon's D7000?

I want a camera that's very good in low light situations, a camera that can take fast movements pictures (example: taking pictures of someone on a whitewater rafting), weddings, portraits, scenery. And also has a good battery life.
Which one will be best? I'm starting a new venture as a photographer but do not have enough money to buy the best and expensive camera. Please help me with suggestions. Thanks in advance.

In addition, can I get suggestions on which lens to use for each camera that can help me take bring life to my pictures?
