Plannng on buying a Canon Rebel T3i, Need some advice.
3 replies, posted
I am a film major and was planning on using the majority of it on video. My dilemma is that I can't decide on whats the smartest way to buy it.
I was planning on buying the t3i body separate and then purchase an L series lens. That way if i ever want to upgrade my body later, i will still have a high quality lens that i can use on the next body since they are interchangeable.
Or I could buy the camera in a kit and have a lower end lens that would later i would want to upgrade the lens from causing we to burn more money?
Which would be the smartest purchase. Also what kind of lens would you recommend for filming? I like getting close up shots dealing with macro. but i also like distance shots so i assume i will be getting multiple lens's?
Thanks guys.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that more towards photography than filming?

well, these days photo cameras are getting really similar to videocameras. The only difference could be that you can't use internal hard drives, sometimes you can attach less wires and accessories and they have less micro-options and settings (everything depends on the models though). The pro's are that they are usually cheaper, they are smaller and less bulky, you can use lots of different lenses and the quality is excellent.
The Photography forum would be better suited for this since it's completely dedicated to both photography and videography. This forum is mostly for actual established films rather than the production of them. Plus you'll get better advice from the people over in the Photography section since they're all very enlightened individuals on the hardware/technology of the subject.
