Want to start filming, have a $250 budget. Want a good camera that has lens compatibility for fisheyes.

I saw similar threads, but not in this price range.

Give me your recommendations.

Facebook market place is clutch. There are some sick rigs on there for huge varity of prices. if you want a specific camera, I second the sony cx- but also I use the canon xha1 if you wanna shoot on tape. I use the opteka 72 for the canon. if im not wrong you might have to super glue a ring too the sony for a fisheye idk.

I love my Sony cx, I marched right into Walmart and bought it for 200 bucks without really putting in any research and I have not regretted it one bit. It’s super simple, light, and so easy to use. I never hesitate to hand it off to a homie it’s like “this button is record, this is zoom, that’s all you need to know”

it is not fisheye compatible though. I’m fine with that though cause I think that would ruin the simplicity and ease of use.

eBay has some good deals you just gotta search for a minute. Just make sure it comes with battery and charger
