I decided to get the BMPCC. Can't find any other narrative camera for this price with such a sexy image.
Can you make a list with everything and its price?
I don't want to spend too much. Max 1000 Euro +/- 200 Euro
1. Lots of recommended memory cards (see the specific topic).
2. An external battery giving the specified voltage (3 or 4 LiPol cells or maybe 12-v sealed lead acid from your UPS), corresponding charger and a cable with corresponding connector. The internal battery gives about 5 minutes only!
3. A tripod with a liquid head. Or a photo tripod if you are not going to turn the camera during shots.
4. Some good lenses. For beginning, just borrow any zoom lens from your friend's MFT kit camera. The lens theme is just endless, including the lens price. See corresponding topics.
5. Some external microphone or audio recorder if you want a good audio. I use Zoom H2n but the sound theme is also endless, including the price.
6. A piece of black cloth to cover the viewfinder just in the beginning of photography.
7. A cardreader, preferably USB-3.
8. Computer and a video editing software. I have successfully used KDENLIVE which is open source but my requirements were minimal.
I have no idea about prices. Maybe Ebay could help.
Try NOT to use the HDMI output, it's extremely fragile.
