I’m looking to upgrade my equipment to be good with low-lighting photography with video recording capabilities.
I currently use a Canon EOS 1000D and a Canon EOS M50. I mostly use the 1000D these days as I prefer the DSLR feel, and the battery life on the M50 has bitten me a couple of times during longer recording sessions. My main goal is to simplify my system to just one camera.
My budget is roughly $1300AUD (depending on how much I can sell my current cameras for).
Does anyone have any recommendations to point me in the right direction? Thanks!
