not sure if this is the right board but i need some help.
I'm looking to make some documentaries about local people. Nothing too crazy, just want to get a feel for people living their lives in different areas.
I need to buy a video camera as well as possibly some microphones/boons.
I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money as i'm a poorfag.
I know some DSLR's now have pretty solid video features. What are some lower end cameras that I could buy to get the ball rolling?
Price points would be appreciated. I'm looking to save up about a grand for everything. Thanks dudes.
pic unrelated, some old film shit i took
/p/ is better suited to your question.
If you want steadicam like shots then some of the Olympus omdb models have great image stabilization. Variety of lenses too.

Before people start nagging you about it, try your question in one of these threads. /p/ gets uppity when people make new threads asking for equipment advice.

If you want to go on the cheap, try a Micro 4/3 camera with a kit lens for general use. Then look for old manual lenses for your more static shots (ie. sit-down interviews) You can get some older Olympus PEN models for under $150
Get a separate audio recorder for sound ... use the on-board camera audio to help sync up your good sound.
