There are trade-offs camera to camera. The body of a BMCC with an EF mount is roughly $1995. A lens (let's say 70-200mm) will run you roughly $2,499.00. The 5D is just as pricey. You're in high school, just starting out, and are learning so I'm not sure I would bite the bullet on something like that. Unless, you're a good hustler (I'm saying this in a positive way) and are going to hit the local band scene and charge for videos -- then maybe invest.

This might help you out.

I started out with a Bolex H16 REX shooting on Kodak 7266.

You can buy a used Canon T2i on eBay for about $400. The T2i might be a few years old, but it's still capable of good pictures. As far as lenses go, L series lenses are great if you're shooting 18mp stills, but for the sub 2k video that these cameras shoot I wouldn't worry too much. I know of plenty of great material that has been shot using cheap kit lenses.
