BarNet Sadly all this gear is simply unavailable for purchase here. The list in the OP are more like "only" not "some" solutions!

A T5 + 18-55: 6000

A G7 + 14-42: 15.000

An A6000 + 16-50: 12.000

Bearing in mind, no E mount lenses or M43s lenses exist. Only a 2000 EF to E mount adapter and I might fish for a m43s one.

There's a cool glidecam that I tried for 3500 that works pretty well. and a very good external monitor, 7", with peaking/wavrform for 4000,

Also that tempting Dual Pixel AF + 50STM shooting combo,

T7i + 18+55: 15.000

Sadly no SL2 in Egypt, yet. Which is supposed to be the cheapest DPAF camera.

What package would you get him knowing that information for shooting a film?

The G7 probably try to get a second hand.

Mic jack easy focus pulls in camera 4k peaking tilty screen. It's just made to shoot video.

It's just one store that I found in the entire country that sells the G7 + 14-42 for 15.000 EGP (848 USD) so finding a used one is out of the question (I wish).

4K IS a pretty cool thing to advertise your film here, it's pretty new/unknown. And it's also more detail and sharpness. But the lens situation makes cringe. It's either kit lens only film, or a 2000 EF adapter + Canons. 1000$+

And even then stability is an issue aside from the kit lens.

That's what's making me lean towards a glidecam + 400 USD Canon HD camera

I like to share that I DO have the budget barely for a G7 + kit + Ef-m43s + 50 + Zoom H1 + glidecam but I still want to be smart with the purchase vs value. What if the audience don't care about the extra quality over the 400$ T5?
