/u/yellowdart57 - I started with a Canon T2i and I would avoid Canon DSLRs for video.
Below $350, Canon DSLRs lack:
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:
Newer Canon cameras are not much better. Here is a side-by-side between the Canon 60D and 70D:
Rather than a T5 or T3i, you might want to consider a [$283.99 used Panasonic G6 body with a KEH 180 Day Warranty and 14 Day No Hassle Return Period] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=291716364124&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), a [$39.99 Fotga classic 4/3 to micro 4/3 electronic adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/Thirds-Olympus-Adapter-replacement-DMW-MA1/dp/B00JUPSXX2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and a [$35 Olympus 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens for classic 4/3] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=162023167319&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg).
Here is the image quality this camera can produce:
Narrative
Fashion/Glamor
Music Video
Documentary
Timelapse
Slow Motion/Sport
The are many more examples in the [Panasonic G6 group] (https://vimeo.com/groups/dmcg6) I moderate over on Vimeo.
It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/lumix-g6/pool/
In my view, the G6 is the best value-for-money interchangeable lens still/video camera you can buy in this price range.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your decision!
Thank you so much!
I used a relatively affordable Panasonic G7 mirrorless camera. It's not the most high end tool, but I tend to put a premium on size over other features, since I mostly do travel and street photography. This camera it tiny, so I can just throw it in my cupholder, when I'm in the car, and it doesn't attract too much attention when I'm in public. But it also has a very comfortable grip, which is a big deal for me, because I have pretty large hands.
I used an Olympus Zuiko Digital 11-22mm lens, which I've had for about eleven, maybe 12 years, at this point. For my purposes, it's easily the best lens I've ever used. It gives me the option of shooting with a fairly wide angle or shooting at "standard" length, meaning it's approximately the same perspective as our eyes have. At wide angles, it has incredible optical quality. At standard length, it's got a decently wide aperture, which lets me keep backgrounds blurred and take really nice portraits.
The lens is quite old and designed for an obsolete lens mount. So I use it with a really affordable adapter. Other adapters like this one cost well upwards of $100.
I then worked on the photo in Photoshop. I did pretty standard stuff for the most part - made the shadows a little bit more blue, light spots a little bit more yellow/orange, added some more saturation to the greens, reds, pinks, and blues of the lights. Then, I went ahead and also darkened the background on the right side of the frame - there were some distracting streetlights and reflective road signs visible. Then, finally, I viewed the photo on my phone and decided to crop it to a 5:4 vertical format, since this is the longest vertical format that Instagram accepts (originally, this was a horizontal shot with 3:4 proportions). Personally, I think it would look a little better if it was vertical but, like I said, I was really optimizing towards Instagram.
The cool thing is that you can use DSLR Four Thirds lenses with a Micro Four Thirds body with an adapter (generic equivalent) that retains full autofocus capabilities, which allows you to use things like huge telephoto lenses with absurd maximum focal lengths.
There are also adapters for pretty much any lens type if you don't care about autofocus.
