As Linus said before, making reviews for affordable tech does not get as much interest or views as doing enthusiast-grade hardware, which is why he only does affordable tech videos occasionally.

I would recommend picking up either a 5D Mark II or a C300 but anything with a high bitrate is great for green screen work. You'll need some lights for the green screen, so pick up two 1x1 Litepanels. For lenses I would recommend a 24-70mm f2.8L or 70-200mm f2.8L (whatever suits your needs) from Canon or the equivalent from another company. If the camera you rent has XLR inputs then you shouldn't need a recorder, but if you get something like the 5D Mark II then you will need a Zoom H4n. For microphones you should look at the Sennheiser G3 Wireless Lav Mic or Sennheiser ME66 /ME77 Shotgun Mic if you don't want a lav in you shot. Some other things you need include: a tripod, SD cards, and XLR cables but those are fairly easy to find. This advice will apply to most shooting scenarios, not just green screen work.
  
Pricing:
5d Mark II £120 / C300 £360

Total :£525/£765

Out of Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony, I would have to say the Canon is the best mainly because of it's higher bit-rates and better video feature but most third party video accessories are designed for Canon models such as the 5D Mark III or 7D. But Panasonic has made some waves in the video industry with the release of the GH4 with it's headlining feature being 4K video recording, which rivals that of the RED EPIC. And many users have switched from Canon or Nikon to pick up a GH4.

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.
