What's a Good Budget?

[Derek]

I am a beginner/amateur videographer and I would like to get more serious about my hobby. So I was wondering what would a reasonable budget for a Canon be? And what models would you suggest?

Thank you!

I'd say around $500, or maybe a little less if you're willing to buy a refurb. Check out Canon's line of Rebel cameras for a good starting point. You can do a lot with a Rebel!

I think you're looking at more than $500 but you, probably less than $1,000 for a starter camera. Canon isn't known for being an affordable brand. If you want a mirrorless camera that can produce quality images in just about any lighting situation, then look at the Canon EOS M50. It's lightweight, can shoot in 4K, and can bet set up to automatically transfer the images you're shooting to a compatible device.
