I'm sure others will chime in with different suggestions, but here's how I would spend it:

Canon T3i, body only: http://amzn.com/B004M170YC

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens: http://amzn.com/B0007YZLFS

It's a little over your budget, but not by much. If you're willing to spend a little more, I'd upgrade to a 60D. Eventually you'd come to appreciate the extra control dial and better autofocus. http://amzn.com/B0040JHVCC

The cheap kit lens that can come with cameras will produce acceptably sharp images, but will severely limit you in terms of your ability to get good photos indoors in less than perfect lighting. A good lens that opens up to at least f/2.8 is far more important than the camera body you choose- if you go Nikon or Pentax or Sony or whatever, try to budget in a nice bright lens. I have this Tamron, and I love it. It's very sharp, and is a fantastic deal.

Whatever camera you end up with, go jump on /r/PhotoClass2013 so you know what you're doing when your child shows up!

Thanks for the info. The point A and B will be close to the same focal plane.

Someone recommended this camera:

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-T3i-Digital-Imaging-18-55mm/dp/B004J3V90Y/

or the more expensive:

Do you have any favorites?

u/doggexbay · 2 points r/Filmmakers

The Sony RX100 has a great reputation as a budget video camera, but it's a point & shoot so it might not make the best option depending on what you want to teach. I think you can get a couple of Canon 60Ds on your budget if you want to teach camera-work specifics.

Do you want to teach cinematography or storytelling? For camera specifics, you might want to shop for more sophisticated cameras than the RX100. If you want to teach storytelling techniques, then you don't need a 60D for video; just about any smartphone will do. Depending on the smartphone, a few 60Ds may be cheaper. :)

u/koldingfilms · 2 points r/videography

No problem! You can buy an adapter for the G7 which will let you use Canon lenses, but you'll lose some functions, such as reliable autofocus. But otherwise there are plenty of G7 lenses that you can get for pretty cheap.

MagicLantern is a 'hack' that will enable the 60D to record RAW video at a resolution of 1734x976, which is not even 1080p.. Whereas on the G7, you can record 3840x2160 (4k) video without having to hack it, obviously.

I'd say go for the G7, and definitely not the 60D, which is by the way still more expensive.

u/magus424 · 2 points r/photography

Well if you want to stay in the same line, the 60D is ~$880

Or there's the T3i for ~$670

Both still use EF and EF-S lenses, so your existing lens will work just fine on either.

e: I have the 60D and love it - the articulated LCD alone is quite helpful, but the T3i has that as well - my main decision maker was the button layout and feel of the camera - I liked holding the 60D much more, and thought the button layout made more sense.

u/DoctorBroBro · 1 point r/photomarket

Just a tip, but this can easily be found on Amazon by searching Canon 60D Used . I broke the hotshoe mount on mine recently and have been debating buying a used one vs how much it may cost to fix that. =/

u/kingofnima · 1 point r/AskPhotography

Just to compare, here is a selection from the Canon side of things with Amazon used prices:
Canon 7d - $990
Tamron 17-50 2.8 - $340
These two are a great basis to work off off and get you to $1330.

If you want to spend some more you could add the following:
Canon 50mm f/1.8 - 100
Canon Speedlite 430EX - 235

But to be honest, if your wife is just starting out and money is a bit tight, don't go out spending $900 or more on a body. As most people will tell you, picture quality is mostly due to lenses. Canon t3i, Canon t4i or 60D as well as Nikon 3200 and 5100 are all excellent bodies and have more than enough features to keep her happy. If you get either of those bodies and a decent 17-50mm lens as well as a 50mm prime she will have great tools to learn on with space to grow.

Just like daegon I would recommend to buy used. Most Photographers look out for their things quite well and most of these lenses and bodies are made at quite good quality levels. I hope this helps.

My Canon 60D manually goes up to 1/4000 in 1080p.

I assume the cheaper t3i would do the same.

u/dangercollie · 1 point r/photography

There's another Canon option. A 60D body runs right around a grand.

u/Bossman1086 · 1 point r/canon

If you want to buy new, you can get the Rebel T5 with kit lens for around there. You could also go with a used 60D. But that is without a lens.

It is - There is a bit of a paradigm shift going on right now with videography. DSLRs are about to become (IMO) a very disruptive force in the market.

From FreddieW's (the guy who made the video you linked) FAQ (emphasis mine):

>What camera should I buy?

>Rule 1: If you can borrow a camera, just borrow it! Otherwise, get the nicest camera you can afford. I’m super jealous of all you guys nowadays because almost any camera you can buy is about a thousand times better than what I used to use. Otherwise, look for a camera that shoots HD, and a camera that ideally doesn’t record to tape – that way you don’t have to deal with capturing from tapes, which can be a pain.

>DSLR cameras are currently the best blend of being affordable while still providing a professional quality image. If you don’t take a lot of still photos, I recommend the Canon T3i or the Canon 60D (T3i is slightly cheaper). If you do take a lot of still photos, look at the Canon 7D or 5D. Alternately, the Lumix GH2 is another really good DSLR camera.
