I mainly shoot internet video for my daughter and events.
Canon's EF and EF-M mounts are different. They are not mechanically compatible and an adapter is required.
Something such as this is required: Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Auto Adapter - Canon EOS (EF / EF-S) D/SLR Lens to Canon EOS M (EF-M Mount) Mirrorless Camera Body - with Full Automated Functions https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D9BKWEQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nb6uzb9XXP506
You could get a GH3, however that wouldn't leave you much money left over for a lens, let alone all the other bits you need.
The camera is one of three parts that make up a quality production; you also need to consider sound and lighting.
If you're just experimenting, then you could go for this little combination:
That leaves you about $40 for media and spare batteries. The links are for illustrative purposes - shop around to find better prices and you can save even more!
/u/theatretech37 - if you want a mirrorless 1080/60p camera and have concerns about the micro 4/3 lens mount (and sensor size), you might want to consider a [$979 (on sale) Canon EOS M5] (https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-M5-Mirrorless-Camera/dp/B01LWUQDHJ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) with a [$49.95 EF to EF-M adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Lens-Mount-Auto-Adapter/dp/B00D9BKWEQ//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20).
This camera's sensor is the same size as the 7D's - and, with the adapter, it uses the same lenses - but it is [much smaller and weighs half as much] (http://camerasize.com/compare/#154,684).
Here is the image quality this camera can produce:
That said, here's what I recommend with a $2000 budget:
Camera and Lens
Tripod
Audio
Lights and Backdrop
This setup will cost you a little less than $2000 and give you the ability to produce well-lit 1080/60p content with clean sound.
Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right camera and studio setup for your needs!
Would this adapter enable you to mount EF lenses on the body?

Hi /u/pbearbacon - The EOS M is a bargain at current closeout prices ([$262 at 6th Ave Express via eBay] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=321299904380&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) [Referral Link]).
If you've been thinking about it, I recommend you get one before they are gone.
There are some very nice lenses for this camera - but you're right, there are only a few of them. But it's very easy to fix the "short lens inventory" problem with a [$60 adapter for Canon EF/EF-S lenses] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D9BKWEQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00D9BKWEQ&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link].
With the adapter, you'll have access to the entire range of Canon lenses.
You can also download a free Magic Lantern firmware upgrade for this camera to enable it to shoot high bit rate RAW (see definition [here] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_video)).
Here is what this camera can do:

The adapter is cheap simple and small and being knocked off by third parties for $12-$40.

Contrast that to the situation with my A6000 where the apapter is an expensive ($300) rube golberg device with it's own SLT mirror and focusing system.
Best of all worlds, you get the size saving from mirroless and the adapters are so cheap you can get one for each lens.
There have been a lot of issues with past "M" models but affordable, seamless adaption of EF-S and EF glass has not been one of them.
BTW Pentax did make a mirrorless (K-01) that could take their DSLR lenses without an adapter. It made things simpler for them as they did not have to come out with a new line of mirrorless compatible lens but they ended up with a huge clunky but ugly box that (almost) everyone hated.
Yes, I meant computers too.
You will need an adapter, but the good thing about canon is, if you adapt your bigger canon lenses to the M, all the auto functionality works perfectly, whereas if you adapt your lens to other bodies, there may be some discrepancies. Adapters aren't too pricey either, this one works as good as the 'official' canon adapter for a fraction of the price https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Lens-Mount-Auto-Adapter/dp/B00D9BKWEQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527005918&sr=8-3&keywords=ef+to+m+adapter
This works fine with autofocus on my M100, and it's only $39.95.
Thanks for the advice. I believe this one would work correctly, right?

Also, would it change the focusing at all with the ef lenses? I have some rolleiflex lenses that I adapted to my canon ef system and the farthest they can focus is like 10m away, but not infinity, because they can’t be put any closer to the sensor. Would this also happen while adapting ef lenses to ef m, or would it work at the same focus lengths.
Thanks!
