EOS R50 V

For an amateur? No. In fact, i wouldn’t even recommend a camera more than $700. If you’re not already invested in Sony, the Canon R50V is a great aps-c sensor option. A 35 or 50mm prime and that would be more than enough. You’re better off ensuring you have proper audio solutions and understanding h

Canon R50 if leaning on the photo side or R50v if leaning on the video side.

Canon r50v with kit lens. Available on canon refurbished for $639 even right now. Much like most cameras tremendous potential for better photo and video than your phone but require more effort

after reading again i see its $1000 total, if you are really serious about the video look at the r50v and you can also look at the r50 and r100 as well if you want to stick with sony you can look at some of the cheaper alphas but i cant speak to them as well i can canon bc i only shoot canon.

Yes the simple answer is just to use your phone and most people do. But if you want a camera because it feels more fun or more intentional then that’s fine too! I’m a professional photographer, and I’m carrying a separate camera this trip because I just don’t enjoy using my phone. I’d recommend look

Regardless of what camera you get please invest in good glass. The results you can get from a mediocre camera with great glass will blow results from a great camera with mediocre glass out of water. A lot of people are recommending Canon. I also shoot Canon mirrorless so I will do the same lol. But

Yes, the R6V, R50, R50V and Powershot V1 all need a $45 Canon AD-E1 adapter to use any flash gear other than the Canon EL-10, EL-5 or ST-E10 transmitter. Godox is a very common recommendation because it’s affordable and is an extensive radio-remote controlled strobe system for studio-style lighting

With those additional lenses I'd personally stay with Canon and get the EF-RF-adapter (thats a bit of weight, but would be worth it to me to not have to rebuy lenses). Changing to a whole new manufacturer is going to cost a pretty penny and it personally wouldnt be worth it to me if you have no othe

Try and stretch your budget for a Canon r50v (or buy during a sale)

If you want a new set up, I’d push you towards the canon r50v. It’s my c cam for wedding films behind my r6 and r5.But honestly you need backups for weddings. 2 is minimum, 3 is preferred.Probably look towards the used market
