I don't want to claim an expert by any means. I'm not sure what your price range is, but I just saw this. The sale is through Ebay, but the seller has great feedback scores and the fact that Canonpricewatch even is posting about this deal lets you know it's legit deal. The lens isn't amazing, but 18 (landscape)-55 (portrait)mm will allow you to take different types of pictures.

A 70D is actually better then my current camera. I only have a 60D with a 18-135mm Lens. The lens does allow me great range in different types of shooting, but it's not a full frame camera like the 70D so I'm loosing a little bit on my pictures.
the 70D is a crop camera. I had this camera before i went full frame

I've only shot music videos breh :russ:

But actually that video seems like it wouldn't be too hard to shoot from someone who's coming from a photography background. It was very photogenic, just probably have to make sure you have the right lenses to get the various shots and focal lengths that were in there. And depending on the cam you're using, you may have to roll with manual focus to make sure it's not hunting during recording.

True, but I don't know nothin bout hand holding camera, (image stabilization), color correcting, how to edit multiple clips and make it look :ohlawd: . I don't want my videos looking like how them youtuber's be doing...all choppy and shyt.:scust:

All I got is a DSLR, prime lenses and a dream :mjcry:
