Okay here's the deal... I just set up a loan that i sign on tomorrow, giving me $700 to put into a camera. Just hoping to hear some suggestions regarding cameras in, and under that price. Here's the main rub though... I am physically handicapped which leaves me unable to hold a camera at eye level. I have to shoot from the chest/hip. This means I either need a camera with a multi-angle LCD, or a camera cheap enough to leave me with enough cash to purchase an external monitor. I'm leaning towards the T3i(600D). I'm also very interested in advise on low-cost lenses. My first project I'll be shooting on the new camera is a horror film, which will require a lot of night scenes.
