Aidin954Honestly i'd recommend something like a sony a6000 or panasonic g5/6 over the t2i just because of the nice 60fps in 1080
nutz.A6000 is awesome but if you wanna go cheaper Id pick up a gh2 over a t2i anyday. That camera was and probably will always be my favorite camera, I'm almost positive at the end of this year I'll sell my gh4 and pick up a gh2 with a couple of batteries again.
DorianFT2i is a great beginner camera, and really there has been very little change between it and the t5i in terms of image quality. there are better cameras out there, but for a beginner camera it works pretty well.
The thing about filming with a dslr though is that you need more than just the camera to produce a decent video. you need quality lenses, as well as a rig or 2 for stabilization.
if you are looking into a t2i thats great, but make sure that you factor at least one decent piece of glass into the budget as well as a tripod - just to start. if you have extra money drop it in to either glass or the tripod. a good tripod is worth its weight in gold
gnar_whalGood glass is more important than the camera itself. Unfortunately good glass isn't cheap, so factor that into your setup. You'll also need some sort of stabilization
.FryYeah, I have some money put aside for a good lens. Any ideas on what I should get? I've heard the Tokina 11-16 is pretty good for filming.
Aidin954Tokina 11-16 is nice but remember it's not for a full frame body, but honestly that wouldn't matter if you kept with crop sensors
eheathI doubt he'll be getting a full frame camera...

Aidin954Yeah, exactly why I said it wouldn't matter if he kept a crop :p
