> I'll probably end up getting this or a t5i.

Glad I could help, but even if you don't end up getting the BMPCC, I would avoid the T5i.

I started with a T2i and quickly switched to mirrorless cameras.

Here's why.

Canon DSLRs in this price class lack:

u/jonjiv · 7 pointsr/personalfinance

This is highly dependent on your price range, but if you're going to be in it for $500 prizes, I'm going to assume you'd like to spend less than $1000.

In that case, you can't really go wrong with a Canon dSLR, especially the t series, their entry level camera. I think the newest version is the Canon t5i, but the t4i and t3i also shoot high quality 1080p video and you'll be able to find them for cheaper.

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is increasingly popular in that price range, but I wouldn't recommend it to an amateur. It has a fantastic image but a high learning curve.

Nikon dSLR's are great too, but if you invest in Nikon lenses as a videographer, you're going to have a bad time. The majority of video camera bodies are manufactured for Canon mount lenses, so if you ever want to leave Nikon, you're kind of stuck or forced to use lens mount convertors.

With all of these cameras, lenses are arguably more important than the camera itself. With the Canon, the best bang for your buck is going to be a Canon 50mm 1.8. It's a cheap lens, but it has a great image for the price and is great in low light. If you can afford a good 2.8 zoom lens like the 17-55 2.8, go for it, but it's often near $1000.

u/Edward_the_Penitent · 6 pointsr/travel

I got this backpack (mine is green though) before setting off on my first backpacking trip back in 2012. Before that whenever I'd travel I always had a duffel bag, and I didn't realize I was doing anything wrong because I didn't know there was a lot to think about nor did I know that "backpacking" was a thing real people did - I thought it was just in movies like The Beach, or for rich kids who "do" Europe over the summer before/after college. Then I went on a short trip to the east coast with a friend of mine who made fun of my duffel bag and decided to investigate. I think the subsequent googling even led to my discovery of this very message board circa 2010/2011.

Anyway I typically fill that thing up and that's that. No checked bags unless I'm going scuba diving, then I have this bag which has my mask and fins, of course, as well as any extra things I can cram in there that I don't feel like carrying around.

I'll usually bring two pairs of shoes. I'll wear the bulkier ones on the plane (my comfortable but kinda stupid looking Keen hiking boots, if I am in fact hiking), and then a comfortable pair of walking/everyday shoes, which for me right now are these sick Nike SBs. Then I pack two pairs of pants (one jeans, one hiking), one pair of shorts, swim trunks, about five t-shirts, a long sleeve thermal, socks, underpants, and a windbreaker. This is all depending on weather, of course, but generally the above applies to everywhere.

Add to that my camera with two lenses, my dive computer (if applicable), a headlamp, a handkerchief, various toiletries, and a manila envelope full of a copy of my itinerary/confirmation #s/passport photocopies/etc. That, I believe, is everything.

u/crucialmuzic · 5 pointsr/Beginning_Photography

What's your maximum budget? Does it have to be a mirrorless camera? You might like the Canon EOS Rebel T5i

u/jam6618 · 3 pointsr/videography

Yeah, what is your budget? A bunch of the main stream DSLRs work with the video mic go even though they do not state plug in power. The Canon T3i, T4i, T5i, and T6i all work with it. The Panasonic Lumix GH3, GH4, G7, and G85 all work with it. The Canon 5D Mk3 works with it. The Nikon D800 works with it. A whole bunch more cameras work with it but we can't give you a good recommendation unless you give us a budget.

u/Singlemalt_28 · 3 pointsr/canon

In that case I would recommend a body and lens bundle. Someone else might be better at recommending a specific camera but I would look into something like this bundle:

Canon EOS Rebel T5i EF-S 18-55 IS STM Kit for $537

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/Cameras

Some you might want to look into. All are probably available for less if you shop around, especially the superceded advanced compacts.

1. Advanced Compacts

Both of these offer a reasonable amount of zoom and puts out images that gets fairly close to a DSLR, but are more portable - and in the case of the Sony, actually pocketable. Both of these are last year's model since the current machines go for around $800.

Smallest, not DSLR quality but very good, near-miraculous for the size: Sony RX100 Mark II

Quite big actually but definitely smaller than a DSLR, DSLR-like handling characteristics and pretty close image quality: Canon G1X


2. Compact interchangeable lens

Offers DSLR-class image quality in a much more compact package, but with the loss of optical viewfinder and easy manual controllability. The Sony has a DSLR sensor so offers better image quality, but is a larger package all around. The Panasonic delivers slightly inferior images but with much better portability, since the lenses are a lot smaller as well - not just the body. Micro 4/3rds also has a very healthy lens ecosystem. The Sony, adequate.

Small: Sony A5000

Smaller: Panasonic DMC-GF6


3. DSLR / DSLR-class

You'd be looking at a DSLR for full manual control over the camera, and to this end because they have more physical controls, bigger batteries and are designed to mount bigger lenses etc - they are bigger. It may not be what you want slung around your neck all the time, but these are probably the best class of cameras to learn 'serious' photography on due to the accessibility of the controls.

The Olympus is actually more of an overgrown compact interchangeable-lens given advanced features & controls - think of it as a mini-DSLR. The T5i is a pretty standard low-intermediate DSLR with all the features you'd normally expect a DSLR to have.

Regular: Canon Rebel T5i

Small: Olympus E-M10

If you never intend to buy / change lenses out quite a lot, categories 2 & 3 will probably be a waste of time.

u/whoneeds_sleep · 2 pointsr/photography

T5i body, 18-55 IS STM, Amazonbasics bag, Sandisk 32GB Class 10 - $749

EF 50mm f/1.8 - $125

Can get other lenses as she starts to get limited by the current ones.


Disclaimer: I might be slightly biased because I shoot with Canon :P

u/bradtwo · 2 pointsr/Cameras

Hello fellow Michigan(area) Person.... Lake Orion, MI here.

Remember, whichever camp you go with (Sony, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic) For the most part you're going to want to stick with that, so you can move your Lenses (the true investment) among your cameras.

All of these cameras with Shoot RAW.

Canon has the T5i which is in the price range. It has all the manual options available, plus it is very forgiving. 18-55mm Kit will set you back about $650. I borrow the T3i from a friend, it has its moments (Again, I'm not usually using Canons) especially when it came to white balancing. BUT! Shoot Raw and forget about it. I'm sure the T5i has resolved that issue. : http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-Rebel-EF-S-18-55/dp/B00BW6LWO4/ref=sr_1_2?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1451374398&sr=1-2&keywords=canon+t5i

If you want Amateur friendly, I would (strongly) suggest the Sony A6000 series for your price range. While not technically a DSLR (its a mirrorless), Above all, they are VERY compact so if you travel a lot, they are just an awesome companion. To me, I feel that it is one of the best travel cameras that are made, given what you get for the footprint. Lacking a GPS, sadly... but one day soon. I have a NEX3 (Older version) that I've shot so many amazing pictures with. Here is the A6000 This comes with a 16-50MM range : http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-Camera-16-50mm/dp/B00I8BICB2/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1451374561&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+a6000

In the other corner, on the more video side of things (being able to shoot amazing videos)

For 800 I would recommend (as a suggestion) a GH2 kit. Beyond photography, it is a killer video camera (as paraphrased by Philip Bloom). These can be obtained used for the $700 mark on Amazon all day long. This of course is also not technically a DSLR, Micro 4:3.

u/cccpspetznez · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

It's the Cannon Rebel T5i EF-S here.

u/xtremedeo · 1 pointr/videography

Definitely would want to get the [Canon EOS Rebel T5i EF-S] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BW6LWO4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=dimz04-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00BW6LWO4&linkId=d16644d22479b31b1c8f0fb1190611b7) Ranked as the best low budget camera at your suggested price. It has excellent customer reviews with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating.

Thanks for helping! I don't have a lot so far, but I'm in a position where I can buy more equipment.

If you can provide with a list of stuff I would need to reproduce something of similar quality, ideally for fairly cheap, I'll happily give you gold for your troubles!

u/Synister0 · 1 pointr/Winnipeg

Thanks for the response. I was looking at a t5i on Amazon. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BW6LWO4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=26HY2DPOEEZOK&coliid=I2Z4EA4F1IFWA6
i was also looking at this Nikon package, http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B015CQLSIE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=26HY2DPOEEZOK&coliid=I61LD69YZ2BEU
They were on black friday sales for $600 and $800 and I'm hoping they do a comparable sale for Boxing day. I've heard the quality of kit lenses aren't that great though, so maybe it's not the best way to go.
I'll keep reading reviews and try to hit Don's photo in the next couple weeks and see what they can do for me.

u/Ambitionlessness · 1 pointr/videography

I do plan on shooting outdoors as much if not more than I shoot indoors. You've set my heart on experimenting with the shotgun mic now.

I like the Canon. I was looking at the t3i and now looking at the t5i. This one was the first that popped up. What do you think about it?

It seems lighting is far more important than I expected so that's going to have to be considered now. I'm going barebones in this department for now.

You've sold me on the white balance card too.

And yeah I didn't even think about the bag but I'll need one as well.

I'm not dead set on the fun focus effect yet, I think getting wrapped up in fancy stuff before I've gone out shooting a single thing yet will be a mistake.

Thank you so very much for being so helpful and comprehensive.

u/Cupcake_Bitch · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Oh jeez. I couldn't go that high. This is the one I want.

u/L3ED · 1 pointr/photography

Now you're gonna hear a lot of people say to go with Nikon as they have better sensor tech, which is true, but as a Canon shooter, I'm recommending either the 60D or the T5i.

Both are really fantastic cameras that will give you plenty of room to grow into.

If you want to go Nikon, maybe the D5300.

u/rrobe53 · 1 pointr/blackfriday

What about the T5i? It seems to have some holiday bundles today.

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-Digital-18-55mm-Lens/dp/B00BW6LWO4

I'm not a huge aficionado of photography, but I want a good camera that will last several years for vacations, family pictures, and outings etc.

u/Toronto_man · 1 pointr/photography

I'm looking to get a digital SLR, and am looking at the Canon Rebel T5i. I have so many questions. Should I get a body only, and invest in lenses later?

I would like the camera to be able to take the weather; be it rain, dirt, and a bit of abuse, as I plan to use it mountain biking and for winter sports. The reason I was looking at the t5i is apparently they have a better processor? Or does that even matter? I'm looking to spend around $400-$600. the link is what I am tempted to buy. And what should I know about warranties if I buy stuff online regarding photography gear, is it still all based on a manufacturers warranty?

I fell in love with photography the exact same way! Started with my first iPhone which was a 5s and I was in love hah! Eventually decided to buy a canon rebel T3i. A few photographer friends of mine all suggested this camera and it was a GOOD buy! I had it for at least a year before I upgraded to a canon 7D. To this day I still use the T3i alongside my 7D.
Though the T3i is a discontinued camera you can sill buy it on amazon or eBay for pretty cheap along with a kit lens that will be enough to get you started.

I STRONGLY recommend buying something used! Especially for your first camera. Cameras and lenses hold their value and quality for YEARS so there is usually no worry when buying a body used in good quality. Both my T3i and 7D, along with almost all my lenses including my L series lens I got all used! No problems whatsoever.
This is a Canon Rebel T5i it’s an upgraded version from the T3i, which is discontinued and pretty old at this point. The T5i will be a GREAT starter camera! It’s a little out of your budget brand new but scroll down and click USED to see many other used options all within your budget. Select one that’s “very good” or “like new” and you’ll have no problem! Along with the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with you’ll want to purchase one more lens.. the Canon 50mm f1.8 aka ‘nifty fifty’. This is the suggested first lens purchase by thousands. Literally ask a thousand photographers what’s the first lens you should buy and that’s what they’ll tell you the nifty fifty! And it’s only $125 brand new! (The only lens I’ve bought new), though you can get it cheaper for used.

This is a phenomenal professional grade starter DSLR that will last you years! And I promise oh won’t be disappointed with it.

Finally you’ll want to invest in an Adobe Lightroom subscription. For $10/Mo you can get both Lightroom and Photoshop. Lightroom will be your hub for organizing photos as well as editing them. The program is super powerful and can be a bit tedious to learn, but follow some YouTube videos and tutorials like some from Anthony Morganti and you will learn quick! I’ve watched almost all of his videos (there’s hundreds) and every video I learn something new!

Best of luck to you and I’m excited for you to get started in such a great hobby!


edit: oh BTW! Once you get a DSLR you will have total control over all settings in your camera, which you probably didn’t have before on your phone. So the first step with a DSLR is learning how Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO interact with each other. This is how you can get those awesome short depth of field shots you mentioned with the background blurry and bokeh’d. this is a great video to help understand the “focus triangle” and learn how those 3 settings interact with each other! That’s also another great tutorial YouTube channel so I suggest subscribing to them and watching some other of their videos as well.

another edit: btw the 750D you mentioned is a newer version of the T5i. 750D is called the T6i in America, also another great option! I didn’t suggest it because it’s a bit out of tour budget but again I’m sure you can find it used in your budget! If the T6i fits your budget then definitely opt for that option as it’s newer and has a few more features upgraded features, but the T5i is great as well!

I have a Canon EOS Rebel and love it! I was in the same boat when I bought it as it was my first DSLR, and I found it really easy to learn how to use it and the pictures come out well.
For your budget I would reccomend the t5i over the 600D. It is a little more expensive, but it has video autofocus, shoots faster, better boost ISO, less startup delay, and a touchscreen.
I dont see the prices in pounds, but it falls into your budget.
