Blackmagic new- 930,000

foreign used- 500-600 k

canon 5D mark 3 new- 700000-750000

canon 7D mark 2- 435 k

foreign used 250 k- 350k

Red epic and red dragon - foreign used - 5 -7 million

but they are some low budget dslr camera that you can still use for a basic low level movie -

canon 600 D new - 155,000 - 176,000

canon Eos 60D - 285,000

so it all depends on what sort of project you want to use them for, research more on them online and make your decision

From the perspective of a post production guy, I would say, go for a Sony a6300, If you are on a tight budget, but if the cash is not an issue, do a sony A7s2. Both can shoot 4k and shoot slow motion, with great image quality. Just saying. I have worked with footages from all sorts of cams, but I am very impressed with the quality of Sony comparing the price.
Just my opinion tho...
