I'm looking for a dslr that can film at 60fps 1080p, the reason for 60fps is as I'll be using slow motion somtimes 

 

It also needs a flip out display and a mic port , my max is £550 but would like as cheap as possible , any ideas 

 

I would like a dslr that comes with a standard lens as well

I’m no camera expert, but perhaps you should ask your question to the guru’s of the ‘Photography and Videography’ section of this forum?

some used d5300 maybe? i don't know used prices, but afaik from mine, it has a mic in (could take a look tomorrow at home, but google would be faster). It comes with a variety of kit lenses, so finding one used shouldn't be a big problem

Have you looked at this camera?

You can get a used 800D for that money with a lens. Have a look at ebay. 

 

Bare in mind though that 60fps won't give you any serious slow motion. You will need professional grade software to get a good effect. Half the speed of RL isn't really much.

DSLRs have that analog/film era mirror in the way of seamless integration of video shooting, so mirrorless would be better especially if you're not always using tripod.

And for that kind budget might be harder to find something as new.

Things like mic in are often left out from entry models.

Especially for anykind faster action it doesn't give really good slow motion.

In video mode those mirrors are always up as in live view mode.the issue with DSLRs in video mode is the rolling shutter. That means quick motions distorts heavily due to the fact that those sensors work line by line.

I'm using the camera to film exercises in the gym as I'm a personal trainer, so everything I film will have the camera at a fixed point on a tripod, with the subject being in full body shot @bowrilla

Look for a used Canon 800d, or 80d, I'm sure you can get a 70d, but I'm not entirely certain on it shooting at 60 fps.

Question is: are you moving quickly? And the slow motion effect won't be big. You will still need (commercial) software tools to acchieve a proper effect or invest more in a better video camera. You'll be better off with a GoPro Hero 5 for those kind of shots. It can handle 1080p at 120fps. That's at least a factor of 4 and will give you a better effect without additional software. You can get a used one for 100–150GBP or a new one for around 170-200GBP. Aim for a cheaper solution for your first camera and get a GoPro for the B-Roll slow motion shots.

 

Edit:

There's a 70D on ebay for 350GBP or best offer with 3 batteries and a batterypack. Pickup only. Get a cheap fixed focal length like the super cheap 50 1.8 and a GoPro Hero 5. Or get a 700D. You can get those with a kit lens for ~300GBP. They can't do any slow motion but you have enough money to spare for that GoPro and you still have money to spare for some lights or a proper (!!!) microphone.

Thx @bowrilla I'll have a look into that, great help
