Great idea, buy a used one indoors studio outdoors bright light hd5-50 buy used lens low acuations.

What is your primary interest in making images of?

The iles are amazing don't go by the crap you see on the Internet about 4/3,APC, dslr (even 50meg). Really easy camera to use great built in meter,built in flash great trigger and the best grip in the business. Best skin color period, tack sharp true focus it really works. If your not able to hoist a real piece of glass and body get the 80mm.  You can crop the hell out of the raw file and if you want make a wrap to go on a semi-trailer, but be warned its not a low light action camera. Outside set it on a good tripod and you can grab a building two blocks away look in a window and see what's for dinner, best of all you can make a decent print of dinner. Bang for buck used

Personally I would go for an H5X and a Phase One back, best of both worlds and you get to use Capture One, free for their own backs of course.

 

Currently shooting H1 and P45+ and 501cm P20

Note the CF adapter is great if you are shooting slowly giving access to all CF lenses, many not shamed by digital, and Tilt Shift adapter.

 

Aware that Phocus gives great native colour out of the box ( I do use it for other files) but C1 is a one stop solution.
