I want to do some filming for something. To be completely honest I have no understanding or idea of anything about cameras, so could you also give me some useful info on what I should look out for and how to use them?(I'm obviously aware pic is way out of my price range)
>>4396007>do some filming for somethingCould you be more specific? If you *need* heaps of background blur (bokeh) for what you're filming you'd want to get something full frame. These are typically more expensive, so you'd be looking at something like a used Canon 5D mark ii or mark iii, or a Sony a7s ii. If super shallow DOF isn't something you need, then you would probably get better results out of a crop sensor camera, such as lumix m43, olympus m43 or sony ZV series cameras. The lumix and olympus cameras have pretty good in body sensor stabilisation so they would work better for hand-holding the cameras. The full frame options mentioned earlier will work much better on a tripod.A lot of this really depends on what you can find a good deal on near you. Best advice is to do some thorough research on the cameras ive mentioned, and similar cameras and then look for whatever you can get for cheap near you.
>>4396008I'm doing a lot of filming in the dark, often at bright lights and moving objects. I don't want a shallow DOF for most of it. So I would be better off with the latter 3?
>>4396008>>4396016I also want to, when editing, transition and fade a lot of the shots, overlapping them in various ways. Does the raw footage and camera affect the quality this sort of editing once downloaded to the software?
>>4396016>>4396017You just proved you have no fucking idea of what you're doing. You are not yet at the stage where you should ask for advice.
>>4396049mid bait
>>4396007Go buy the nearest super 16 movie camera for $20, spend the rest on film. Go do something and stop making these threads.
