I would avoid the T5i for filmmaking. I started with a T2i and quickly switched to mirrorless cameras.
Here's why.
Canon DSLRs in this price class lack:
Worse, as you have seen with your 50D, most Canon DSLRs suffer from a phenomenon known as "moire" as the result of poor downscaling. Panasonic G and GH mirrorless cameras, on the other hand, have a better downscaling algorithm. Here are a couple of side-by-sides between the Canon 60D and a moire-resistant Panasonic GH camera:
Newer Canon cameras are not much better. Here is a side-by-side between the Canon 60D and 70D:
Instead of a moire-prone [$649 T5i] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BW6LWO4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BW6LWO4&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), you might want to save yourself some money and consider a [$597.99 Panasonic G7 with the 14-42mm kit lens and a free Audio Technica AT8024 shotgun mic] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2FIPCDMCG7B.html) (a [$247.99 value] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V66XWTI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00V66XWTI&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)). This camera has:
Here are a few examples of the video quality the G7 can produce:
Narrative
Documentary
Travel/Nature
Timelapse
Timelapse and Slow Motion
And here are a few examples from YouTube (please watch at 2160p and your monitor's highest resolution):
It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/panasonic-lumix-g7/pool/
In my view, this is the best still/video camera you can buy in this price class - and it costs less than a T5i.
Hope this is helpful, good luck with your upgrade - and Happy New Year!
I have had several Lumix cameras. They have been excellent. I may be mistaken, but I don't think the FZ300 has mic input and headphone output. That makes it pretty tough for video.
Maybe you should think about a more conventional camcorder. I have also owned several different models of the Canon Vixia camcorders. Get the one you can afford--they cover a big price range but they all have good lenses and good audio recording capabilities. For the money, the power zoom lenses on these cameras are much better suited to video.
Also, if you're recording concerts, I'd recommend a stereo external mic like this one from Audio Technica. Band concerts will sound much better in stereo.
Hope this helps.
