That is a very difficult question since there are so many options out there. I have been an amateur photographer / hobbyist for around 40 years shooting family, friends, sports and an occasional wedding for friends. The gear has come a long ways and now offers many variables. I recently picked photography back up and changed my brand from being a long time Nikon guy to Canon. I am not a photo expert, so I am giving my personal opinion based on my experiences. My background is a recently retired engineer, so I always do my homework before purchasing. I bought the mirrorless Canon EOS R with a 24-105mm lens. Then I added these lenses - a 50 mm, 100-400mm zoom, and 24-240mm zoom and EL-100 flash and RODE external microphone. In my opinion, I feel this is a great value for the money. It is not "professional" grade, but above entry level. You can switch back and forth taking photos and 4K video very easily, and so far it has been great. I mostly shoot outdoors and this does well stopping action and the zoom lenses put you where you need to be. The Canon support so far seems to be very good, it is my first experience with Canon. Nikon was good too, but to be honest it has been a while since dealing with them. Keep looking for your camera. If I recommend what to look for - the mirrorless technology is the latest and has been out for 3-4 years, the video should be 4K, also if you're going to do any blogging or IG or FB stuff, you'll want a camera with an external microphone jack (many do not have this). You're looking at around $1,500 to get things going. best of luck, enjoy!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are countless cameras that offer photography and videography which does include this one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the EOS RP has audio. I haven't recorded any real videos yet, just a little test clip .....making sure everything worked when I took it out the box. The built in mic picked up whatever was going on in the room at the time. There is also a port for an external microphone.
