Advice for new camera
Hello everyone,
i‘m thinking about getting a new camera as i have been filming with my Panasonic HC-X929 for more than 10 years now and I want to improve the image quality. I mostly shoot live concerts for a local band. Sometimes, when they record a new Album, i shoot the making of, too. I really like the image of for example an sony fx6, but i am not sure if that would be a good camera for me. The concerts are often in smaller venues with 20-50 people. In terms of lighting, there is only the stage light. The concerts last from 45 minutes to 1 1/2h, so I need a camera that is capable to record continously for that time as a min. I am a bit torn between a Camcorder or a Cinema/hybrid camera. I also have to add that i am a solo operator, so I have to do everything by myself. First i thought, because i am a Solo operator, a camcorder would be perfect, because of the ergonomics, fixed zoom Lens, as i have to cover every angle with one camera, and so on. But I realized that most camcorders don’t have bigger sensors than 1 inch. It makes Sense because of the fixed lens. I am not fixed to a certain brand, but i have to say i do like panasonic, because in these 10+ years my hc-x929 has never let me down once, even in some harsh environments. I guess my only problem is my budget as i only can spend max. 3.000€. One camera that grabbed my attention was the Panasonic DVX-200, because of the 4/3 sensor, but i read that because its an older sensor the low light performance is not that good. I hope i haven‘t forgotten anything and thanks in advance.
I am sorry if I did some grammar mistakes as english is not my native language
