Hello all,
My GF got me a Canon Vixia HF S21 2 years ago for my birthday. Without knowing anything about photography/cinematography (still don't), I quickly learned that I wouldn't be able to get the kinds of depth of field shots that I really liked which was frustrating. I just sold it on ebay and got $800.00 for it.
So I've got $800 bucks to spend on a DSLR Camera and would like to know your thoughts.
Initially I will be just shooting random video and interviews to learn how to use it and become familiar with it. I'm starting from scratch with virtually no knowledge of photography, so I'm allright with an entry/mid level camera. In the longer term, my goal is to make some short docs.
Im just generally looking at the T4i, 60D and the Nikon 5200. I realize that I'll have to deal with audio later on, so for now I'd just be happy to get a good camera with a lens that will get me started on those shots I like.
Suggestions?
What do you think of this:
