bmp - welcome to the forum! I notice that you're in Greece - do you mean $4000 or 4000€ ?

If it's Euros, I would get a Panasonic AG-AF101E for £2799 or 3800€ and a low light cine prime like the SLR Magic Hyper Prime 12mm f1.6 for £500 or 635€ from Amazon UK and have them shipped to Greece for free.

The total would be a little over your budget, but it would be worth it.

Here are some examples of what this camera/lens combination can do:

Hope this is helpful - good luck with your decision!

Not sure I understand you completely, but yes, this camera can shoot wide with the right lens.

For this camera's micro 4/3 sensor, with its approximately 2X crop, you would need a 17.5mm lens like this £1300 Nokton f0.95 to give you a focal length equivalent to 35mm.

With this lens, results would look something like this: https://vimeo.com/41301767
