Photography Camera

[Pretzel]

Hello all,

My friend is looking for a good camera to take cinematic photography. (for her tumblr or something)

She has a tight budget of around 200 and is a mediocre photographer.

What can you recommend?

I would get something better.. 720p won't really cut it for videos...

given your budget, maybe this: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Camera-18-55mm-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B00RM73X8A/ref=sr_1_29?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1456716880&sr=1-29&keywords=dslr

(maybe not fitting for the budget, but if you can stretch)

$200 really isn't enough to court anything worthwhile. The only advantage over a cellphone worlds be optical zoom, other than that a modern cellphone camera will be of similar our better image quality. You doubt start getting to decent performing cameras until the 300-400 range.

Cinematic photography?  Can you clarify what she means by that?

 

If she is looking for a camera just for the sake of taking photos and her budget is $200, in the compact or bridge line of cameras like that I recommend a Canon.
