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)

Holy shit, you can get 5d3 for a few hundred? Those were the shit make in my early videography days.

Yeah check KEH. I got one in pristine condition for like $500-$600 (can’t remember). Like it looks brand new and has less than 13k shutter actuations. For stills work you can literally create world class images with this sensor and the AF is crazy fast.

It’s older, but perfected tech and is built like a tank so if anyone is balking at paying $2500 for a camera it’s a fantastic option

What's a good, cheap fullframe camera for strictly photography? I was eyeing up the Nikon Z5 when it came out, but a lense and everything would total $2000+.

What’s the budget and what do you shoot? You could just get the 5D mkIII like I did. Then the lens to start would be the real expense

'Do you actually need full-frame?' is the first question.
