Help finding a good camera? - 1

I need help finding a good CHEAP camera that has a flip screen so when filming you can see yourself, I think I found one but I would like some better opinions please

The Fuji HS50 EXR was the most dslr-like of recent compacts that had an articulating LCD. Look for one of those.

Otherwise in DSLRs you need the Canon T3i, T5i or Nikon D5**** series.

There's a cheap Panasonic compct with a screen that flips right up…

The least expensive device for video capture with a flip out screen that does what you want is the Canon HF R600. Bonus: Also has a connection for an external mic.

Tip: Get and use a tripod.

Clarification: Digital cameras and camcorders don't use film. They use flash memory or hard drives. Is shooting moving images ("filming", video, movie) your first priority? If so buy a good camcorder, not a still camera that has a video facility. A DSLR is a much more expensive and harder to use device for video than a cam corder. The Canon Vixia RF500 has a flip-forward screen, microphone input for about $250. (Note: You also need about a $40 SD card to store & transfer videos) It is also light weight so many of the accessories can be smaller & cheaper.

You also need lights, tripod, separate digital audio recorder (the recording ability on most cameras is mono/horrible) and video editing software.

So don't assume the camera is the only thing you need.
