- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hello photo forum ! First time posting. From what I've read I am confident you all will be able to help me find exactly what I'm looking for.
I would definitely not consider myself a professional photographer or cinematographer by any means, however I do enjoy capturing and documenting the things around me. As a travelling musician I experience many unique things which I can capture and create into some entertaining works, both just for pleasure and for marketing material for the groups YouTube. So what I am on the hunt for is a camera versatile enough to tick many boxes without sacrificing too much in one area just to be the best in another.
Here is my situation, the gear I use now has been great in the past but I am looking to move to a single camera which can do many, if not all, of the things the others can. This would be for efficiency in working and also to cut down on the amount of things we have to lug around on the road. Currently I am using a Canon 5D mark ii with a Canon EF 24-105mm macro lens and Tamron AF 14mm Aspherical wide angle lens. Our secondary camera is a massive Canon XF300 which I am more than tired of lugging around as it is great for certain shots but is pretty noisy in low light situations and not ideal for all the moving around we do. And lastly we have a couple GoPro Hero 3's.
And so I seek your help. What I am looking for specifically is the perfect camera to replace what we have and will be able to accomplish the following:

- Preferably shoots 4k video or at least 2.7k (for cropping motion when editing etc.)
- Preferably shoots 1080 up to 120 fps (for slow motion work)
- A high dynamic range (to capture inside of dark nightclubs, venues etc.)
- Heavy duty build (I'm very used to the DSLR body of the 5D and its rugged build is durable enough for the road)
- Has better depth of field for B-roll and close up shots while on the road
- Good in low light
- General use for medium and long shots while were on stage
