Hello everyone I'm trying to decide on a second hand camera body for some documentary work, low budget, probably short docs (though I hope to progress to full length, though I'll invest more money when that day comes). I'm kind of half settled on getting the Canon 5D mk ii, but only when I see it at a particularly good price second-hand, for example recently I saw it going for (body only) £440. This may have been a one off, I'm willing to spend something around £500 for the body. I want this to be something that will last me quite a while, hence why I'm not going for the much cheaper body's available, I feel like the 5D mk ii is perfect in this sense. I'm open to other ideas, for example, the GH3 has had so many recommendations all around the internet. I kind of wanted to stick to Canon, mainly because of the functionality that comes with Magic Lantern. But maybe someone else has a better recommendation, maybe a different model of Canon. I'm concerned about moire, I've seen the Mosaic VAF-5D2 filter which combats this, though I can't seem to find it for sale in the UK. I would like the body to have a full sensor, basically I'm looking for as much of a cinematic look at possible within my budget. I know this is all very vague, it's just a general outline, maybe some of you have some questions that I can answer which will lead you to recommend something to me. Any help with be much appreciated! I'm sure you must get people asking for camera recommendations every day! Thanks again, Sam
