Camera: Canon 6D & 24-105mm lens - €2,500

Audio Recorder - Tascam DR 60D - €250

Mics
Sennhesier Wireless Lav Kit - €800
Audio Technica AT875R - €250

Rode Micro Boom - €40
Rode Shock Mount - €40

4 x Transcend Class 10 32 GB SD Cards - €60

Portable Reflector - €50

Lowepro Video Fastpack 350 - €110

Benro S4 Tripod Kit - €240

Aputure Amaran 528S Light - €150

Light Stand - €30

Lighting Umbrella (White) - €30

Adobe Premiere Pro CC - €300/year

Pluraleyes (Audio Sync Software) - €150

Total - €5,000

This is very much like the kit I use, but I used it with a 5D, and now a C100. You could also go the route of buying an EX-3 or XF100 and losing the audio recorder and audio sync software, but you also lose the ease of getting shallow DOF with a video camera, so a DSLR should work better to blur out backgrounds with talking heads.

Thank you for this, just starting in video production. This is very useful
