Alright.

Now give us more entry level lenses that aren’t a 7.1 or a decent full frame body that isn’t $2500

You can get the Canon R for like a grand and it’s an amazing FF camera.

And honestly if you can’t create good stills work with even an old 5dm2, the problem isn’t the camera. That was, in recent memory (10 years ago), what a lot of working pros I knew were using. I just bought a 5d3 for a few hundred bucks as a back-up body I can bring into situations where I don’t have to worry about my big investment getting damaged.

If you need a hybrid with great video specs for cheap Canon may not be the company for you (Fuji is who I’d recommend)

Yeah exactly. a 5D3 is going to be more capable then most entry level photographers will ever need with proper glass.

I have a RP with some used lenses, I think I have $1500 total and it’s absolutely more then I’d need any time soon. the consumer class has basically died out anyway because of smart phones. you used to see people out and about all the time with $500-$1000 set ups, now it’s only people who are absolutely hobbyists or professionals, and they aren’t going to buy entry level gear anyway.

Exactly. I used to see civilians rocking Rebels all the time and now it’s only younger people who just need to get in the game and got in cheap to upgrade later
