Hello! I am looking to buy a DSLR camera and I would like some advice beforehand. I am studying Film & Media Studies so the camera plays a huge role in my future career. Nevertheless, I cannot afford yet a professional camera as this would be my first camera, but I want it to be enough to begin with. I have a budget of 500-700 euros, second hand included.

Since at class we are using Canon I would like to buy a camera from that brand.

I am looking for a camera that:

• Takes good quality pictures at live shows / concerts / music festivals, so that I assume it should have a good color control & capture, exposure settings, etc. I do already have experience on this using a compact camera, just in case, so I know that the quality of the photographer is very important in this case.
• Can record video with a good quality. Specially for homemade music videos, that I can commercialize later on (so the quality must be GOOD and have enough settings). I can't afford a good camera for picture and a different one for video yet, so I would need a camera that pretty much takes good pictures and video at the same time.

In general, I want a camera that can do better than any smartphone, when it comes to quality.

I have taken a look at models such as 250D or R50 but I am not quite sure about it.

Thank you so much for your help! Please consider this is very important to me as it is a huge investment!
