Hey guys, could use some advice here.
I want to make films very very very badly, I spend most of my day educating myself on digital cinematography and cameras. Currently I do not have a very big budget, say $1500, and I do not want to spend all of my money right out the gate. However, in a few months I will have saved up around $2200 for filmmaking gear and will probably buy a second hand GH4. Until then I am considering buying a shitty canon EOS 700d for the sense of practice and learning first hand about cameras and video editing/color correction.
I would buy one for around $494 but I plan on selling it at the end of December on ebay for probably around $300 or $350, so not a huge net loss.
Is this an okay idea while I wait for more money? I know it is a shit camera but it is not the absolute worst and allot can be done with the footage in post...
