Best $800-$900AUD Video Camera?

[jscho]

I'm looking for the best video camera in that price range. I'll maybe go up to $1000 if it's justifiable. I'm getting into making short films and I want to make them look more professional. I'm making a short film for my high school multimedia class, and I want the film to be as high quality as possible. I'm shooting for the highest marks possible

 

If you guys can suggest one with an external mic input, that'd be very nice Though not essential at this stage.

I dont know the price, but the camera linus uses for the commercials is pretty darn good. Maybe someone know the model and stuff

I think he uses his Sony FS-700 for those. That's a $7000+ camera

Forget about spending $1000 on the camera itself

 

get yourself a t3i and put the best glass possible on it and make sure your audio is good.

Thank you! You might have saved me a fair bit of money! Can you recommend any good lenses? I don't have a clue what to look for

get yourself a good zoom forget prime for your 1st batch of lenses, you'll have a 18-55 so you'll want a wide angle and a close angle lens

 

55-250 will be good for tight shots, use the 18-55 when needed for mid range

 

and for ultra wide "cinematic looking shots"  your gonna want a tamron 10-24 

 

all of these lenses I have in my camerabag as well as a nifty fifty and a 28-80 but only buy those if you have some extra spending cash
