Help buy a better camera, to make wildlife docus

Donation protected
My name is Frederic, and I am 18 years old. I love nature, animals, plants, and I also love photo- and videography. My dream is to make my own nature and environment documentaries one day.

Right now I own a Sony DSC-HX60V - or should I say, owned, because I lost it - I remembered exactly where, and was in the place ten minutes later, but it had already been taken by someone, and that someone apparently didn't bother to bring it to the local police or found items bureau. Anyways, it has FHD video and makes 20 MP images, but both are of bad quality (much noise even in bright light, no RAW support) and video taking is fully automated - no exposure control, no ISO control, no nothing.

I'd like to move on to something more serious now - and after much research I've chosen the Panasonic GH5 II, because: I definitely want an interchangeable lens camera - filters, fisheye, macro lenses, etc. - and I've chosen a camera with a Micro Four Thirds sensor, because it givess a good compromise between a large sensor for better image quality, and a small sensor for greater zoom reach. Then, it should have :
  • 4K video (that way, I can choose between better quality or increasing my zoom range, and image stabilization, by cropping the 4K video to FHD / HD)
  • 120 FPS for slow-motion
  • around 20 MP
  • good battery life
  • manual focus and exposure in video mode

The GH5 II matches these criterias best, I think - also it has a great range of lenses available.

Neither I or my parents have the money to buy this camera + the lenses, but if a 1300 people donate 1 Euro, I could make my dreams come true !

I need:
  • 800€ for the camera body
  • 200€ for the macro lens: Panasonic Lumix 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 II Power O.I.S
  • 300€ for the telezoom lens: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4-5.6 II Power OIS
