Thanks to everyone and IamSkinny. I finally got a Sony A7iii with sigma lense. Now I want to buy some rigs so I can rig it up. I want to look very professional so I can really get clients

IAmSkinny:
Guy you be MVP. How much did you get the body and lens.
God when oo

IAmSkinny:
I see you did an extensive research on the the a6000.
The a6000 is actually a wonderful camera TBH but like you already know, it lacks mic and headphone jacks which is a huge turn off for me.
Budget wise, it's a steal for most of features you get. I would have recommended the a6300 but it maybe above your budget. Have you seen the new a6100?
..........
If you are on a tight budget and audio quality is not a priority, please get the a6000 by all means. It's still a champ even after six years. Alternatively, You can get an external recorder like the zoom H1 later on
..........
I figured out that budget is a thing so why don't you check Canon entry level DSLR like the 700D? It's within the range of the a6000 but with clumsy video implementation like you already know. You get a mic jack with this though
...........
The deal here is budget and the a6000 is a budget champ

Henrymorre:
you know I told you I will get a used one. So I got for 650k. With 35to 105mm lense. Also go extra battery and Nd filters. It was a steal.

U be guru... more greece

IAmSkinny:
Guy, it was a robbery! Where did you order it from? EBay?

Henrymorre:
from amazon warehouse ooo

IAmSkinny:
In Nigeria? How did you get in Nigeria

Henrymorre:
I've only paid. Haven't received it. May take months. But atleast I won't spend the money

CornOak:
Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I've been the A6100, but the price is double the price of A6000 with just a few improvements - nothing extraordinary.

I plan on getting better lenses with image stabilizing, ND/PL filters to improve output quality. But I'm still lost on the alternative solution for the lack of mic/headphone jack.

Nonetheless, I'll check out the 700D you suggested. Thank you again.

Using a camera with out a mic Jack port is a total turn off. You''ll regret it. I use Canon 700d and I think it's a great camera.

You are very correct, mic jack is very crucial. By the way, nice camera.

missdivineprove:
What do you mean by that please?

Henrymorre:
Please advice. I am so confused. I only want to shoot videos only, don't care about pictures.
Things I need
Image stabilisation
Cheap lense options
4k video record.
Good lowlights.
I will buy buying a speed booster, not among the 450k. Recommend best speed booster
Note, I am going into cinema video. Thanks.
