Hello,
I would like to ask you for an advice with choosing the right camera. Now I own Canon EOS 600d, however I decided to upgrade it and buy something what fits my needs better.
My demands are:
- recording nice and sharp video in 4K (should be fullHD as well)
- price around $1000
- ability to add external microphone or led light
- nice low light scenes
- easy focusing (just touch the place on the screen and it should focus there) and zooming
- and taking some common photos
I think that the best choice is to buy an ultrazoom camera which is quite universal, practical and doesn ´t require any upgrades (such as expensive lenses and so) in the future. I tried to find some posibilities and write out them here.
1. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000
I think it is fine but main disadvantages are size, absence of touch-screen (which I would like to have for easy focusing) and finaly I have read that the zooming is not so smooth and the result looks quite amateur.
2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-fz300
- Actualy this camera is quite similar to previous one but has a smaller senzor (is it a huge problem?)
On the other hand it has smaller size, lower price (I should buy some equipment such as external wireless microphone and led light with it), perfect aperture f/2.8 in entire range, touch screen (I hope it could be use for easy zooming?), quicker focusing and smooth zooming.
The main issue is that this camera is quite new - so there are no good reviews and I am quite confused.
3. Different ultrazoom
- Next choice is to buy different ultrazoom from different producer such as Sony, Nikon or Canon?
4. Don ´t buy ultrazoom, buy something else
It would be better for me to buy something else around $1000.
Thank You for any advice you´ll give me
