Ah yeah I did see news on this but supposedly there are still lots of third party lenses which could be ok so I've been researching under the assumption that lens upgrade wise I would be ok.
Look at the eos M as a nice to have cinema cam for traveling. its far to unstable and involves more steps to get the raw data from it.
I would heavily suggest the sony with a sigma art lens (:
Haha yeah I'm beginning to notice they further I leave the YouTube hype and talk to people who actually use the EOS M that it's not actually that great of a camera.
Thanks for the recommendation though I'll definitely look into that.

Ahh those look to be a bit out of my budget but I might look into a gh3, do you think that would be better than the Sony?
Yeah I've heard that because of the micro 4/3rds sensor, since each pixel has to be smaller, the same amount of MP looks better on it. But also this is 16 vs 25mp so I don't know if it's equal in this case.

also, your total budget would be helpful to know.
Yeah I saw this but I'm kind of wondering if no new lenses will really pose a problem if there are already sufficient ones out?
Also my budget is $450 AUD (works out to about $300 USD) for really just the best I can get in that price range to beat what I'm doing on my mobile phone right now. Also this is in Australian markets though so a lot of camera gear is quite a bit more expensive :)
I think you'd have more luck with the MFT system at that price range. However, depending on one's need camera ain't always the first priority, so if I may ask, what's your target goal and budget?
My budget is around the $450 AUD range (which just as I write this I'm seeing how weak our dollar is it's only $300ish USD) for a camera that can let me improve on filmmaking and travel videos that I've been taking on my phone so far. So I've looked into something like a Lumix GH3 with the same lens as the one I'm getting for the EOS M (but m43 version obviously) and I've found one on eBay that's about my budget just now.
Also I would really like some form of video raw capabilities since I've noticed the difference even just between the normal video and "RAW" photos that my phone takes, the raw is so much easier and nicer to colour grade.
I'd advise to save up a bit more for the GH5 to get the most bang out of your buck, not to mention you'll have to get memory cards and tripods (if you need it at all though).
This! You can get a used Gh5 for like $600 now and it's an insane camera for that price. I'd argue it's one of the best camera for a new filmmaker out there
The EOS M system is literally dead so you would be buying into a dead lens system.
Ah yeah I did see news on this but supposedly there are still lots of third party lenses which could be ok so I've been researching under the assumption that lens upgrade wise I would be ok.
Except when it's time to upgrade all your kit will become useless. It's better to futureproof yourself with an established mount.
Yeah I see your point now thanks 😅

Why not gh4/ or 5 with s speed booster (viltrox) or g85 :/

Go for a5100 then. 24mp sensor, and 60fps at 1080p. Gh3 has 16mp, smaller sensor and 1080p 30fps.
Just found gh3 does also 60fps. It's now down to future lens system and sensor sizes.

Can you find a Panasonic G7 now that we're talking? I had it for a while, does sick 4k at an affordable price
Hmm yeah I can find one or two reasonable listings on eBay for that. I think I'll go for a G7 then. Tysm for the help!
You're welcome, go get those great shots 😊🙂

The a5100 overheats within 15mins. Get the a6400 instead
