/u/Pbballer19 - I have owned both Nikon and Canon DSLRs and would avoid both of them for video.

In this price class, Nikon DSLRs lack:

• The ability to change your aperture in Live View (video) mode
  
  
• a usable viewfinder when you switch to Live View (it is blocked by the reflex mirror)
  
  
• the ability to record for more than 30 minutes continuously (they shut down after 30 minutes and have to be restarted - not helpful if you're recording a play, speech or other event)
  
  
• compatibility with affordable power zoom lenses
  
  
• compatibility with silent, video optimized lenses ([here] (https://youtu.be/DuX8CDaDUaw) is the problem with noisy Nikon autofocus motors)
  
  
• intervalometers
  
  Canon DSLRs lack:
  
  
• 1080/60fps for smooth HD slow motion (they are limited to 30 frames per second)
  
  
• a usable viewfinder when you switch to "Live View" (video) mode (again, blocked by the mirror)
  
  
• the ability to record for more than 30 minutes continuously (you can set it up for auto-restart with Magic Lantern, but there's still a 1 second gap)
  
  
• compatibility with affordable power zoom lenses
  
  
• intervalometers (unless you modify the camera with Magic Lantern firmware)
  
  Plus, most Canon DSLRs suffer from a phenomenon known as "moire" as the result of poor downscaling. Panasonic G and GH 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:
  
  
• [60D vs GH2 Moire Test] (http://vimeo.com/20565849)
  
  
• [Canon 60D vs Panasonic GH2 evil moiré test] (http://vimeo.com/21962491)
  
  Newer Canon cameras are not much better. Here is a side-by-side between the Canon 60D and 70D:
  
  
• [Canon 70D and 60D moire comparison] (http://vimeo.com/73429088)
  
  Instead of a DSLR, you might want to consider a moire-resistant [Panasonic G6 body for $432.94] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDN0PF0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00EDN0PF0&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).
  
  This camera is adaptable to wide range of affordable legacy lenses. You can adapt [inexpensive Canon FD lenses] (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&fst=as%3Aoff&keywords=Canon%20FD%20lens&linkCode=ur2&qid=1448271634&rh=n%3A562261011%2Ck%3ACanon%20FD%20lens&rnid=2941120011&tag=battleforthew-20) with a [$15 adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MDWG68/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003MDWG68&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20), for example (if you don't mind setting your focus and aperture manually).
  
  If you prefer autofocus and auto-aperture, and can stretch your budget by $40, you can get the [G6 with the 14-42mm kit lens for $539.99] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CFCTDD6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00CFCTDD6&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).
  
  The Panasonic G6 can record at 1080/60p for smooth slow motion, has an electronic viewfinder that keeps working when you shoot video, is compatible with affordable power zoom lenses, can record for hours continuously (very useful for recording plays, speeches, lectures and events) and features a built-in intervalometer for time lapse.
  
  Here are a few examples of the video quality the G6 can produce:

  It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/lumix-g6/pool/
  
  To be fair, DSLRs are probably a better still cameras- but Panasonic G cameras are a much better all-around choice for both video and stills than a DSLR.
  
  Hope this is helpful, good luck with whatever camera you decide to buy and best of the holidays!

Hi /uCentrill - congrats on the new GH2! I still have mine and I love that camera. With a $150 lens budget, I recommend:

• [Canon FD to micro 4/3 adapter - $12.50] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MDWG68/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003MDWG68&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [Canon FD 28mm f2.8 lens - $80] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAZG5YA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00AAZG5YA&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  
• [Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens - $40] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AIZYIGY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00AIZYIGY&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)
  
  I own the adapter and the 50mm lens (pictured on the right [here] (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gVr8wdjjVyU/UpnGGaj0IfI/AAAAAAAAI7A/CmmB7b3W_Lk/w815-h543-no/S1030005.JPG)) and Canon FDs are great starter lenses for the GH2.
  
  Hope this is helpful and good luck with your new camera!

Indeed but it was like 12 bucks on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-AMFD-Thirds-System-Adapter/dp/B003MDWG68/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1526675766&sr=1-1&keywords=canon+fd+to+m43+adapter

here is one for example

Also, you get lenses pretty cheap that look really good and it's also a good way learning the principles of photography such as aperture and shutter speed and ISO. Because they are full manual.

You can get Canon FD lenses for cheap with an adapter:

Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Fotasy-AMFD-Thirds-System-Adapter/dp/B003MDWG68

Example lenses:

And these are just some examples, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for an old Canon FD lens.
