Got a friend thats gonna buy himself a new videocamera, he has a budget on 350$ (yeah i know it's not much :p) and i was thinking maybe someone here knows of something good? There are alot of cheap options out there, and he is not sure what to pick. Appreciate any suggestion ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 second hand Panasonic gh2 if you can find one for 350 or Panasonic gf3 hacked to 100mb/s second hand Canon 550d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Very tight budget. Sony Nex-5n is good for its price and can be had for far below $350. If it's possible to find a GH2 for that price I second Andy - get it. andy lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 or Panasonic gf3 hacked to 100mb/s Wouldn't recommend the GF3, no manual controls is cumbersome. Also it is not as sharp as a GH1/GH2 even with a high bitrate hack. $350 for a GH2 is going to be difficult I think. A GH1 might be a good option. NEX-5N too.

Ben Prater Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 If he wants quality, he wants a DSLR. You can buy Canon T2i (maybe T3i) used for about $350, usually with the kit lens. If he can find a GH2, even better -- but T2i/T3i are both solid starting camera systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 2nd hand GH2 body body cost $700 now, up from the $500 just a month ago, for $300 only the GH1 is in this range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hacked GH1 is best option for $350. GH2 won't be that cheap! 550D is OK but GH1 has less moire and aliasing, rotating screen, mirrorless lens mount for a wider variety of lenses and the hack.

subsequent Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks guys! made his choice alot easier! :D Think he´s leaning towards the GF3 beacuse of the size, he´s not a video geek, so quality alone wont be all for him. andy lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
