How much is a Canon 650D with the lens?

Q. I think the body of the camera is about $800, but I get confused with either it means both the body and lens, or just the body. If I were to get both, how much would it be about? Thanks in advance! (:


Answer
At the moment BH Photo has the T4i marked down to
$648 for body only
$649 for body with 18-55mm IS kit lens
$799 for body with 18-135mm STM lens.
The 18-135mm STM lens purchased by itself is $481.
I think your best value would be to get the body with 18-135mm STM kit.
If you are not in the U.S. (which would explain it being called the 650D) the prices can be different. Pay close attention to whether the vendor you are looking at is offering the new 18-135mm STM or the old 18-135mm IS. Don't get the old lens.

Should i buy canon 650D for filmmaking? Tell me why? What lens to buy?

How much do i expect to pay.


Answer
Really you should get a video camera for videoing.

Note that most DSLR cameras don't have continuous AF in video mode and it's only achieved with STM lenses for the 650D, not with the regular EF or EF-S lenses.

afaik there's only a 40mm and 18-135mm STM lens at the moment.

Video cameras generally have a much wider zoom range than any DSLR so you may be restricted there. On a video the zoom is motorised so can be smoother than zooming on a DSLR.

A lot will depend on what you want to video.
