I have a general idea about Canon and Nikon cameras and stuff but im not sure what I should be getting. What kind of camera do i get if I mainly wanna catch footage, like high quality music videos and shit, and then photos every once in a while. My budget is around $200-700 with the lenses and everything.

Yeah, steady hands. 

If you want steady video but don't have steady hands get a wide angle lens as a rig is way out of your budget.

50mm prime as his only lens is a bad choice on a crop sensor

get a 30 or 35 prime or a 17~50ish zoom like a tamron or sigma

I love the way the 50 looks, but I'm also biased because I like longer lens portraits. I have the 28 myself, and have found myself wishing I could get a 35. The 28 distorts swiftly around the edges. Really any prime <100mm would prob work for the dude. However, the 50mm 1.8 only costs 150, which gives him money for a camera. Though I don't fuck with DSLR video anymore, that shit is dumb. ONE MX all day, and just waiting for that Alexa.

build quality, weather sealed, flip out screen, takes faster pix , max shutter speed is 1/8000 vs 1/4000(t2i)

aka these are photo cameras with video features, not video camers with photo features. the t2i/t3i/t4i/60d/70d all have the same sensor and capture the same quality video.

This is true but you miss the more important features like the 7 has dual processors and more cross type focus points. On the other hand the 60 has a flip out screen and better color depth which may be more appealing since hes doing video primarily.

Otherwise if you're really on a budget and you just want to get your feet wet try out a T2i and get on craigslist. Also you might want to do more research as far as lenses are concerned. And take a class to start off with.

yo is there anything sagnificantly different from a lens with a really high zoom than to a camera with the highest zoom point at the lowest for a different lens? Let me give an example. like 55-250mm can get 55mm zoom at lowest right, and the 50mm lens can get 50mm at highest. is there a problem with me getting the 55-250mm and just keeping the zoom at 55mm, like would it be any kind of visual difference (other than that 5mm zoom of course) if i was to record something?


EDIT: NVM, I DID MY RESEARCH

nifty 50 gives better quality while 55-250 gives more versatility.
id say just get a t2i and a 18-135, or just get a camcorder/handycam if you really only want to record videos

Canon for video, nikon for photo. Simple as that.
