Info on film cameras
Photographic film

How to find out Which video camera should you buy? It depends on your budget and the kind of film you’ll be making.
Different film cameras form cheap to expensive
1. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras
Cost: from around $500/£500
are mainlydesigned for serious still photography. But they are the most affordable way to get into creative low-budget filmmaking.
2. Prosumer camcorders
Cost: from around $1600/£1600
Large-body camcorders such as the Canon XA30 have built-in zoom lenses and headphone sockets. They’re faster and easier to use than DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, so they’re good for news and events.
3. Professional camcorders
Cost: from around $2000/£2000
Cameras like the Sony PWX90 have good manual controls, and professional audio inputs and outputs. They can record in pro video formats which are easier to adjust and correct than most video filmed with DSLRs and camcorders.

4. Cinema cameras
Cost: from about $2400 with a lens
High-quality cameras like the Canon C100 take interchangeable lenses. Their large sensors let you get creative shallow focus effects, like DSLR/mirrorless cameras. But because they’re designed for video, not stills, they’re easier to film with. Most of them have better image quality, especially in low light.
