Do you need a camera for film and television photography

Nowadays, SLR cameras are already very powerful, and they all have silent shutters. But for shooting high-definition video, if the two subjects are too close, autofocus is still difficult to use. But your budget of more than 4000 is obviously less, so you can prepare more than 2000. Whether it's Nikon's entry D5 100 or Canon's entry 550D or 600D set (18-135mm)+16g high-speed card (you said that you are a movie player, so 1080p HD camera card is not enough), at least. Around 6500. As for the defects of the card machine when you are talking about photography, the SLR is basically absent. However, the SLR is a bit bad, because the hand rest is not very convenient when shooting, although the machine basically has a flip screen now. For example, Nikon can only record in mono, and if it takes an image, it will add an external microphone. These are just for your reference. Camera recording is much more convenient, but stills should also be considered later.

I took the Nikon D5 100( 18-55mm) and the Canon 500D( 18- 135mm). Recording videos for friends on New Year's Day, it won't be long before the 16G card is not enough, for reference only.
