I think it has a lot to do with all the BS ads and crap on the forums, that is the main reason I stopped coming as much.

C100 it has EVERYTHING you need for run & gun all built into the camera. you can probably find a used one in your price range

Glidecam makes a monopod/glidecam device. It is a little to heavy to use with my c100 but when I used a dslr it wasn't to bad.

I think you can still see the camera settings if they are jpeg.

Film Riot is a good place to start, Darius Britt is another good youtuber. I also say watch every frame a painting, its more video essay but its makes you look at the why stuff was done more than the how.

So what you're saying is a shit ton!
