Budget-friendly cameras for high quality shots and cinematic clips?
I am new to photography and it is a very interesting hobby for me now. I own a Canon G7x (I bought it before the hype and like it as a camera for portraits). However I would like to get into making actual use of my camera. I want to take short cinematic clips and landscape shots when I travel, as most of you know a g7x does not have good video quality or stabilization.
I really love the work done by some photographers online and I’ve seen their cinematic clips and often times they sport expensive cameras like the Sony A7siii or 7CR (which i’m still trying to learn the difference between 😅). what are some budget friendly cameras I can look into for similar (ish) results? I will be looking into used cameras as well. Thank you
- Budget: Up to $1000 CAD (750 USD)
- Country: Canada
- Condition: Preferably used for a more expensive one, new for more reasonably priced cameras
- Type of Camera: I don’t think I have a preference? or maybe I do not know enough to have a preference yet.
- Intended use: cinema like videos, photography
- If photography; what style: landscape, portrait, street, sports, wildlife, etc.
- If video what style: Cinema like short clips, travel/nature clips
- What features do you absolutely need: I could use some advice in this department, but I would like flash to begin with. Also looking for good quality
- What features would be nice to have:
- Portability: How portable does it need to be? Open to any size.
- Cameras you're considering: Well I want the Sony A7iv or A7iii due to their immaculate quality and the work I’ve seen. but they are expensive
- Cameras you already have: Canon G7x lovely camera for portability and travel but it has become more of a social media type of camera, less for my interest in actual photography.
- Notes: I have used DSLR cameras growing up so do not necessarily need a beginner friendly camera as I can hope to learn as I go
