Magic lantern is awesome and on the 5D3 it's truly a match made in heaven.

that being said, I think the most sensible investment right now would be to get an used fs700 or used blackmagic ursa mini 4.6k That depends on individual needs.

And @extremelypoorfilmaker what are the differences and pros and cons of that two cameras?

You haven't used a camera before? Seriously: ML is not made for beginners!

I have used analog 35 mm cameras for photo and DSLR s for video and photo, but I never had a camera of my own (only old analogs cameras). That's the difference, I want to enter the world of ML with my first camera (of my own). I made some short films with a Nikon D3500 and a Sony a6300 some friends borrowed me.

Offtopic: Just curious ...
You don't own any Canon equipment yet, right? Costs issues don't seem to be a priority too, right? May I ask which reasons let to the conclusion to prefer ML (running on not-so-up-to-date-cams with some serious limititations and if-then-else or "yes, possible but...") instead of going mainstream with more up-to-date gear and techniques?

Yeah, I save some money, so cost is not an issue. Is more about the things I read about ML about RAW. Because it's going to be my first camera and I don't want a Black Magic Pocket or something if I don't know how to use it (though I save money I will need to save more for a Black Magic I heard good things about Sony a6300 and A7 II too, but I want to try RAW)

If you can afford an used 5DMkIII in mint condition, go for it.  This is your best option for ML.  Not only can you record continuously at 2,5K but it is very stable too.  Once you learn how to expose properly to the right, low-light performance is excellent and so is video quality.

Say what?

5D ML III all the way !

Thank you so much, both of you. I think I will search for a 5D III

Hi
My main goal is to make short films. I like long shots, so I want RAW video continuously in 24 fps.
I read that EOS M is one of the best options. But to be honest I don't know for how long you can record on 2.5k.
So maybe D5 iii or EOS M?
What do you think is the best option?
And about lenses what do you recommend
Thanks ahead!

P.S. I don't care about auto focus, the most important thing for me is record for long time and consistently
