comment Why are there no digital cameras with ultra-bright integrated lenses, like f1.0, f1.2 or even f1.4?
I don't think the lack of fast EF-S lenses is significant: the main advantage of EF-S lenses is the ease of making wide-angle lenses as the rear element of the lens can be closer to the sensor. A hypothetical EF-S 85mm f/1.2 (or similar) would be pretty much the same size as the existing EF 85mm f/1.2 as it's the front element which matters, not the stuff at the back.

comment How to deal with large exposure shifts during time lapse?
Questions on Stack Exchange are best if they ask just one thing at a time - this is generally quite good in that it's about timelapse, but the last bit about Photoshop would be better as a separate question (which may have be asked already; I haven't checked). Would it be possible for you to split it into two?

Re-adding mattdm's addition which made this question somewhat less over-specific.

Would it be possible for you to rephrase your question to make it less specific to right now? Any answers you get probably aren't going to be very useful to readers of the site in a few years, when neither the 1100D nor the 700D are available any more.

comment upgrading from kit lens
In general, superzoom lenses (18-200 etc) will be less sharp than the kit lens - they're produced to the same quality standards, but the additional compromises required for the larger zoom range require sacrifices elsewhere.

comment Can I save the JPEG preview image that's generated in-camera when I shoot in RAW-only mode?
Technically, this is completely possible - the JPEG preview is embedded in the RAW file, so it's just a matter of getting the right bits out. I don't have any particular software recommendations for doing this though (which is why this is a comment, not an answer).

comment What are the differences between a bridge camera and a D/SLR?
You can get far bigger lenses for an SLR than you'll ever see on a bridge camera :-)

comment What difference do longer exposures such as 30s and 8s make to a photograph?
Neither is "best". Different shutter speeds have different uses.

comment How to reduce size of a jpeg image in Photoshop?
I considered that as a possibility, but that seemed insane. Why would anyone have a 10 *k*B restriction for making a 5"x3.6" print (this is essentially @mattdm's point comment on the question).

Remove unnecessary text and improve formatting etc.
