Grab an old DSLR off eBay, and get a suitable dummy battery DC adapter and intervalometer for it. If you get a Canon that Magic Lantern supports, you can use a software intervalometer instead. I'm seeing people sell Canon T3's with kit lens for <$100 on Ebay right now (though check descriptions to make sure they actually work!). Source: 11 months ago
If you're already in the Canon ecosystem, why not just get a used 5D mark III? Using Magic Lantern you can then record 3.5K RAW 14bits footages (usable directly under Resolve), may be enough to learn color grading. Source: 11 months ago
> How raw is raw? Certainly no jpeg image produced by any digital camera is really “raw” as it will already have been through a debayering filter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter And then on top of that is the JPEG compression artifacts. But I do wonder how many raw files also contain data that has been debayered already. I have not looked into that. I know that with third party firmware such as Magic... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

Possibly, but you'll need to buy an older model that is compatible with Magic Lantern. AFAIK there are no new Canon DSLRs or Mirrorless cameras still being sold that support it. Source: about 1 year ago
If you're going with canon and primarily video, I'd suggest check out https://magiclantern.fm. Not sure if t7 supports it. Maybe you'll have to compare t7 without ml vs t5 with ml. Source: about 1 year ago

I'm still surprised that Magic Lantern continues to go on for as long as it has. You'd think Canon would of try to shut them down. Source: over 1 year ago
The low light performance was poor even back then and it's limited to recording 1080p in 8 bit colour in a compressed H.264. Because of this there's very little flexibility in terms of colour grading. Basically what you shoot is how it's going look. You would need to download custom Picture Profiles to try and bake in some nice colour into the image. Many people downloaded the Technicolour Cinestyle picture... Source: over 1 year ago

Hopefully it's not too late to vote with your wallet. There should be a little rennaissance of used EF equipment hitting the market and if you're cost-conscious you can get away with transforming your older EOS gear with https://magiclantern.fm/ and any good DSLR gear you can snag and hopefully have a great time!

I see from another post you decided to get it. Good for you! This was the last camera my dad bought and it served him well, and it has served me well too since I acquired it. It takes a great picture, has all the Canon glass available to you, and if you really want to spice things up, it runs Magic Lantern (https://magiclantern.fm/) perfectly so you can do all kinds of neat things without worrying you're gonna...
