> And that is at least 3 or 4 thousand dollars of gear she is holding
How do you figure? It's a 70d which is $999, probably has a kit lens on it so make that $1350 total. Even if the flash is a 600EX (which is unlikely for the entry level "enthusiast" Canon DSLR - it would literally be half the cost of her camera), that's only bringing it to $1950 total (realistically (if her flash is even Canon) she's got the 430ex at $250 making her total $1600), nowhere near "at least 3 or 4 thousand".
> Also, on a Canon like that you wouldn't be looking through the viewfinder to fiddle with settings when the body has two screens and about 250 buttons.
Also it's worth pointing out that anyone with half a clue will fiddle with settings looking through the viewfinder - that way you're learning how to change settings on the fly while composing the shot rather than staring at the back of the camera like an amateur while you miss the shot - this is actually the reason it has "about 250 buttons (actually 30 tops).

I think you might be the one without a clue here.
Seems like you can pre-order it already on Amazon for $1199
Way too pricey imo, could just spend 200$ more and get a refurb 5DMkII
Also, not sure if anybody cares, but 70D is one of the few canon cameras that can shoot multiple exposure, alongside 6d, 1Dx, and 5dMkIII
I would buy a middle-tier DSLR. something like this is a good place to start. get an 18-135 zoom (zoom applications such as hiking like you said) and a 50mm prime lens (portraits for the family).
good price range, good quality! I would also recommend doing some tutorials/watching some videos online to learn how to use a DSLR properly. learn how to adjust the basic settings: ISO/shutter speed/f-stop. I would say if you're going to shoot in full auto, don't bother buying one of these. Just buy a google pixel or a canon point and shoot.

Its a Canon 70d w/ 18-135mm lens and 17-85mm Lens (the 17-85mm is the one that clicks when it is focusing) For a microphone he uses a Rode VMPR VideoMic Pro R. He used the NEEWER 160 LED light for the ursla series. To mount the microphone and light he used something like the Eynpire Camera Triple Mount.
Thanks /u/orismology and /u/hybridcamrev for taking the time to post some fantastic info, can't say enough how much I appreciate the wisdom and experience you are sharing.
The 70D works for my budget and has the features that work for me.
For the mirrorless is this Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3K what you are talking about?
This 70D looks perfect for what I'm looking for
