Hello indietalk vets. I am a rookie filmmaker looking to purchase my first DSLR. While I initially lusted after a BMCC I am now well aware it's out of my price range if I intend to actually ever use it correctly. As such, I've decided to work towards a DSLR. I have a measly $340 saved up in my camera fund right now. However, I am looking at acquiring a job over the summer to add to this modest budget. Altogether, I'd say I'd be willing to spend maybe double my $340 on my first camera. However, I would also like to develop an amateur repertoire of film equipment. Namely, lenses. Seeing as how I will most likely enter college in the fall and some type of film school, more advanced equipment will be available to me. However, I would still like to begin building a stable of my own equipment to use whenever I'd like. For this thread, I'd like to focus on the camera and lenses alone. I believe sound equipment and other accessories can be addressed at a later date. Thank you all for your help and I look forward to your answers!
