This explains why you wanted x5 cameras :D
What/where do you want to demonstrate?
The 18-55 IS kit lens will struggle in low light/indoors but is cheap and usable outdoors and this model comes with stabalisation. https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-lenses/used-canon-fit-lenses/canon-ef-s-18-55mm-f-4-5-6-is-stm/
You could get 2 lenses and pair this with the also very cheap 50mm f/1.8 II that is better in low light and good at demonstrating large aperture lenses / shallow depth of field / portrait style images. The field of view could be a little long for it to be a single lens. https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-lenses/used-canon-fit-lenses/canon-ef-50mm-f-1-8-ii/
I started with this combo, the 50mm taught me a lot.
Mostly they will be taking photos to be used as front covers for magazines they’re making. Maybe I need to add a some flashes to the list too.
18-55 kit lens, some 430EX speedlites and loads of powerful rechargeable AA batteries would be good. Could throw in some off-camera shoe cords or speedlite transmitters to allow for more creative lighting.
