>>3376053Allow me to expand on one of the OP topics, I'll let you guys be the judge if this is worthy of being included in the next thread.
>>what’s the best camera available on a “budget”?150$ and below: Canon EOS M, easily the best video for the cheapest price on the second hand market. Needless to say, it doesn't have as much sharpness or overall image quality when compared to more expensive bodies, but hack it with firmware upgrades like Magic Lantern and you can expect some surprisingly solid 2.5K raw footage that's usable for most projects.
150-400$: Canon EOS 7D, universally known as one of the most popular entry level cameras for filmmakers a couple of years back and, even today, still arguably the most competitive one for a sub-400$ budget. Much like the EOS M, it also has an excellent amount of downloadable firmware upgrades that will boost up the bitrate and give you some rather sharp results, especially for a camera this old.
400-1000$: Panasonic covers this price range well enough, the cheapest and most popular one probably being the Lumix G7 and, if you're willing to shill out a little more for a newer model on retail, the G80 / G85 and the G9 are also great choices with slightly higher specs. All of them are 4K capable with excellent sensors and the Micro 4/3rds compatibility also allows for plenty of choices as far as lenses go.
1000-2000$: BMPCC 4K for the best prosumer cinematic video on the market by a considerable margin, Lumix GH5 if you want more still photography options while not compromising on some nonetheless excellent video capabilities. Either of them are versatile enough to serve you well on almost every kind of video situations, though spending about ~800 extra bucks on the GH5 should be entirely dependent on exactly what kind of work you plan on doing with it.
