/u/CaptainDoP - I'm sorry - your "friend" is selling you an obsolete camera and lens system with zero video capability and low resolution 12.3MP stills for a lot more money than it is worth.
With a $2500 budget, you can get a modern camera and accessories. Here is what I would recommend:
Camera and Lens
Tripod
Audio
Lights and Backdrop
This setup will cost you just over $1500 and give you the ability to produce well-lit Ultra High Definition content that looks like this:
It's a pretty good still camera too, as seen [here] (https://youtu.be/eDQJzln8-5M).
Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right camera and setup for your needs!
I've actually been looking into getting lights (and a green screen) for my channel recently, so I'm interested to see the responses to this. Out of what I've looked at so far, I think these umbrella lights are what I would go with. I don't really have any experience with lighting, so I can't say much as to how good those would actually be, but the price is definitely right, and my understanding is that umbrella lights are a little more portable than softboxes, which is a definite plus for me since I don't film in a single location.
I have these lights from Amazon
