Canon T3

im pretty sure t3's dont film. mabye u want a t3i?

t3's film

Unless you have a budget of at least $2k, a dslr isn't for you.

im just stupid. whatever fuck me

not very well though, i'm fairly sure their video options are more limited than a t2i/etc. and you can have a dslr set up for 1.5k ish, 2 isn't necessary, prices are a guesstimate but 500 ish for a body, 300 for stabilization, 350 for a 17-50, 100 for cards and accessories like a bag, 150 for a rode videomic and boom starter set up.

I would go with a video-camera if I were you. A DSLR set-up is very expensive if you're just looking to shoot video.

I lol'd

But yeah OP buy a video camera, even for a DSLR the T3 is pretty shitty, either buy a T2i or a straight up video camera, look into the Panasonic TM900

moi aussi

this 'if you don't have $____ then a dslr isn't for you' is getting way out of hand in my opinion.


you don't need a glidecam right away. you don't need a telephoto, and a wide, and a standard, and a 50mm lens right away. you don't need a videomic right away. guys, don't forget that a setup can be purchased over time.

when i bought my T2i i barely had enough for the body (+kit lens because body only was sold out). luckily i already had a tripod, but i shot with just the T2i and kit lens for a while. then i eventually had enough for a 17-55 and filmed with that for a while. then later, i bought an 85, then later a 50, then later a glidecam, then later a mic. i bought all that over months. just because you don't have enough to buy it all at once doesn't mean you shouldn't buy a DSLR.

Trust me, just save a little more and get the t2i, a friend of mine went with the T3 and their seriously disappointed they didn't get at least a t2i
