The OP is wanting to ease into a DSLR from a Lumix point-an-shoot. Why is every one giving her advice on professional and semi-professional cameras. She can do everything she needs to do over the next few years with a Canon SL1 or SL2. She is concerned not only about price but weight and complexity.
Dunno, some were good suggestions and some don’t read the requirements ….or dates.
The original post is from over 4 years ago, so the OP probably has probably decided already and moved on.

Sorry. I thought folks were still trying to identify the older gentleman with the 4x5 camera at the January 6 hearings.
No worries.
As happens here so often, multiple threads on the same subject come up.
David Burnett has been identified in those already.
Interesting choice of camera though for these days.
Check out the link i provided to see his motivation fir it.
Ive used several iterations of the Graphic, including the Super Speed.
Never tried to shoot one in these circumstances.

I asked a friend who works as a videographer in DC for NBC News, and he said the gentleman at the January 6 hearings with the 4x5 camera is David Burnett.
This is a different person.
See my post above

The first guy mentioned 4x5 here on the ‘hog is David Burnett.
More on him HERE.
Could the guy seen above be Frank Thorp V?

Interesting story, in any case.

Thanks for that. It appears, then, that MetalCowboys16 is having trouble opening the zip file, not downloading it. Thanks for following up.
You could have made several posts, including photos of each item in their own entry.

The C500 I found is a compact, fixed-lens camera.
Not a model that a user can clean the sensor themselves.
The E-500 is another matter.
Which one is it?

This is a great system!
I had a set for a number of years.
Never had any glitches with mine.

I guess you missed the part about looking for a full frame lens...that one is DX
And you missed the part about this thread being from 2016.

Works great in zoos and aquariums with just about any lens.
Up close and personal?
My 10mm-20mm zoom works well, in most cases.
Is it the answer for all circumstances?
Of course, not.

I was going to suggest Godox but you beat me to it.
Specificslly the AD200 for off-camera use.
Only slightly bigger than a big speedlight and 1.5 stops more power..

I love mine.
Portable, versatile. Li-Ion battery lasts forever.Get the accessory reflector for the bare-bulb that comes with it. You’ll need a transmitter for your specific camera brand. The flash works with all the major camera makers.

Don’t know the venue or event, but i would consider two (or more) flashes remotely and bounce them. I found with bounced light, noise seems to look less objectionable and the light is more even and spread over a larger area. Ive used the SB 800, 900, 910 and 5000. All are great.
The 900 has overheating issues if used rapidly at higher power.
Only happend to me twice. The 910 came out to address that problem.
Nit a total fix, but it was better

Someone got a great deal!
Mark it SOLD in the title please.
“ Once your offer is sold/expired/no longer valid, make sure to come back and edit the title. Prefix the existing title with "SOLD" or "CLOSED" or something of that nature to make sure people don't waste their time contacting you anymore. You can do that by using the "Edit Topic's Title" link near the the top left.”

$500 is a great price!
I still use a D800 professionally.
Only issue I have is noise….
It’s louder than the D810.

This is what happens if you don’t get a signed photo release
