Hi all.
I'm a bit of an amateur photographer/videographer but am looking to make an upgrade.
My Camera; Pentax k500
My lens 18-280 and 18-55
My line of work: I'm a creative director of an Experiential Entertainment Agency. I produce live events with dancers singers presenters etc etc to increase a brands awareness.
I then film the behind the scenes stuff and put it together into a case study.
What I want:
My current camera doesn't have a mic input which means I rely on the built in mic. Not ideal when I am at a busy/loud event and am trying to interview my team about how the day is going.
I would also probably want to buy a 50 mm 1.8f lens too which would benefit the interview style videography. I would also buy a rode/sennenheiser directional mic to sit on top.
I've been looking at upgrading to the Pentax K5 II because it has the mic input and is a whole lot better camera and it also means that I can keep my 18-280 lens.
I'd love to get some feedback whether to stick with what I know with Pentax or move to Nikon/Canon.
Thanks in advance
Jon
