[Leo Van emden]

Hi Newbie,

I’am new also on this site. Here’s is my advice your question. Don’t forget to buy a good bag, some cards a camera light and a good tripod. This means you’ll need some of your budget on the side. If you really look for the high end film look and the good XLR connections then buy the Nex-EA50 with the zoom lens. Out of the box you can work, a good tripod, ND filter, A good extra microphone and some SD cards is enough. Within your budget you will have space for an bag and a camera light.

Best Leo.
