I am searching for some sh lens for an upcoming Canon DSLR I wanna buy (probably the 700D or 650D since my budget only allows this). What are some of the best lens for some general use when talking about filming?

Thanks for all of your responses. I will still think about every posibility.

Thank you for all of your responses. I have looked on the internet about some info regarding 7D, 70D and 50D as about 700D I have some ideas (had the opportunity to test it for a few days somewhere else with the ML features but no time to convert and edit some raw footage because I had no PC for that). Unfortunately I can't afford the 70D or the 7D although I've seen some sweet raw footage on Youtube. I find the 50D a little too old and not really worth it but I am still open to suggestions related to it and arguments.

I'd use the camera for both video and photo but I want the best features to be on the video part since I want to focus on that.
My priorities in order are these:

1. Shooting footage that can imitate the visual cinematic feel as best as possible in camera. I know we are talking about cheap cameras but at least I can try to have footage that I can later edit so I can get some sort of a cinematic feel. I am gonna use the camera for slow and easy shots of scenery and people (like in a slow music video or a slow short movie with not so much movement) and more active shots (like action shots).By this look I mean: (editable) details in the video so raw filming is a necessary feature and a bare minimum of 720p as a resolution with continuous filming at 24p;
2.Hopefully 60 fps on the H.264 codec at a 720p resolution. It's a great feature that I love because I can make it play slower giving me smoother footage but most importantly some pleasing results if fitted right;
3. Sound doesn't really matter. If I am gonna film something that randomly happens I don't need raw filming and I am sure that every camera nowadays has sound along with H.264 video; I will get an external mic or recorder sometime.
4.Ok or decent AF during filming is good but not really necessary. I am gonna use the camera for pre-planned shots most of the time so I hope I can manage the manual focus but since I don't have much experience I don't know how hard will it be.
5.The touchscreen and tilting screen is really good and it could help me get some difficult video shots or even normal shots (since there is also a crop sensor);
6.Working features related to photography. I don't think this will be a problem though.

Now I have these two questions to ask and hopefully I will get a good idea on how I should act:

A. What ASP-C DSLRs are the best for filming raw footage that is the closest to the cinematic feel, along with a decent resolution of 720p with 24p continous shooting? Make a really short top list if you can, please.
B. Could you please give me an opinion on which from these 3 marketplace deals should I focus? For the moment, my budget is fixed (I am from Europe and in my country we have a different currency and market). I don't know how both the budget and marketplace will change in the next 2-3 weeks so if I don't choose anything from here I will make a selection based on the answer to the first question. I can use the rest of my remaining budget for other things as soon as possible, if not I have to wait a little more.
I found these on the most popular online marketplace from my country:

1.Canon 650D (22k shutter count) with: 18-55 IS STM lens, grip, 3 battery and a 32Gb SD card at 310$
2.Canon 650D  (11k shutter count) with: 18-55 III lens, grip, 1 extra battery and a 8Gb SD card at 340$
3.Canon 700D (1k shutter count) with: 18-55 IS STM lens and warranty until july 2018 at 390$

My budget:390$, only for now hopefully. I will still have to get a grip, tripod, extra batteries, a fast card, a mic and other things where needed but I will have to wait a little. I also have a friend who can borrow me a 18-55 IS kit lens when he doesn't need it.

Sorry if it's the wrong section or if I wrote too much. This is a somewhat important topic for me since I want to get a career later related to this field and money here are a too big deal unfortunately so I have to choose very wisely, at least for now.

Hi everyone. I have searched for this question on the internet and here as well but I could only find answers regarding the full frame cameras. I can't afford any right now. I am reading alot of comments when it comes to cheap and good cameras that Canon 700D is good. I also read in some places that it is the best crop sensor camera for ML video shooting as well. Is it really true? Do you have any arguments or counter-arguments? Also, I know the difference between 650D and 700D is almost not even a difference because it is not a big one but for a first camera to be bought, is 650D ok? I mean I can only find them used more than I would find an 700D SH (can't afford a new one). Thanks
