Hi Johnsonalpha - the $749 Canon T5i is a great camera, but if you plan to record 50 minutes of continuous video, it's not the right camera for the job due to its 30 minute continuous recording time limit. Once it reaches 30 minutes of recording, it shuts down and has to be restarted.

If you want to record 50 minutes of continuous video, a better choice would be the $498 Panasonic G6, which shoots for hours continuously (this is a great deal for this camera - as of this post, it has been marked down to $498 from $749.99).

Here are a couple of music videos shot with the G6:

It is also the camera with the 45-175 power zoom shooting the closeups at this stage show:

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your music video!

Hi Johnsonalpha - Yes, I mean the Panasonic Lumix G6 (now backordered at $498 on Amazon, or if you need one right now, $538).

In my view, this is the best 1080p video capable camera in your price range.

Good luck!
