Today, I decided to take some time on my own to figure out how I was planning on shooting the film. I was most likely going to be the person in charge of cinematography during the shooting process, so I had to get this figured out. The camera I typically shoot on is a Canon T6. This is generally a great camera. For a prior project though, I ordered a Rode directional mic to attach to the camera in order to get crisper, clearer audio.
Upon arriving at my house, I realized the mic wouldn't plug into my camera due to the lack of an audio-in jack on the camera. This was rather disappointing as the standard microphone which comes with the camera was rather useless, especially for recording audio in a specific place. Since then, I have been dedicating a lot of time to looking into new cameras to get in order to be able to use the audio jack and just have a more updated, more compact camera.
My two options for cameras were the Canon T8I and the Canon M50. All things considered, the T8I Is the better camera. It is generally capable of much more, than the M50. However, for me personally, it has some downsides. For example, the M50 is mirrorless, meaning it doesn't have a mirror that transfers the picture from the lens directly to the viewfinder. In lieu of a mirror, it does it electronically, meaning that the viewfinder is a screen.
