Socoder -> Off Topic -> Opinions on a camera

Jayenkai	I've recently started watching Geekanoids on YouTube, and he's currently looking at a variety of 4K stuff. So far he's only looked at Smartphones, but out of the two he's currently looked at, both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony XPeria Z2 have amazing looking quality. Samsung S5 Sony XPeria Z2 Nice little camera, decent quality footage, and nice to see such good quality from a phone. .. But those are audio-input less. (I think.. unless you can actually use the standard ear/microphone socket to add a proper mic.. No idea..!) He's looking to get hold of a proper Sony 4K camera, and a Panasonic one, but they've not shown up yet. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	I only mention 4K because, frankly, anything that can capture in 4K is also going to be good for high quality 1080p, including image stability and digital zoom. That's what I'm thinking of, anyway, especially with my super-shaky hands!!! The more I can reduce that, the better!!!! GoPro seems to be a popular cam, lately. I expect there's a reason for that...?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	That's not narrowing anything down. It never bloody well does, DNA. When someone asks "what is a good XYZ" the answer is not "I know where a shop is." -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	I dunno, the fisheye would tick me off! With all the 4k's incoming, I imagine it'll be easy to find a cheap 1080 recorder. Geekanoids guy seems to stick to Sony cameras for most of his work, though they usually have their own quirky Sony MemoryStick Variation of the Week.. If you look into canon, Kodak and the other expensive brands, you might be able to find earlier models with decent specs going cheap. Also, if you're determined to add your own mic, then quirky "bad audio" camcorders would also be ones to look at. You could probably get one cheap, because it's infamous for bad audio, but then plug your own mic in and get something worth much more. shrugs -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	Here's some you might look at: CANON PowerShot SX700 or the SOny DSC-H300/B -=-=- DNA

dna	Oh. When you wrote that you needed an Audio input you meant one that can capture decent sound like for use in film and similar. -=-=- DNA

Jayenkai	Hmmm.. Oddly timed! Geekanoids-guy has just opened his own forum! Might be a good place to ask about cameras? Also, he got his Panasonic QuadDef camera, today, and will be posting a video some time at the start of next week. Woot!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	Some ad for the Nokia Lumina popped up on my screen some time ago. It will not suit your needs but the interested thing about that camera is the Pixel resolution and the Optical zoom. If not for the lack of an Audio input and the options to change the lensing, it would be enough camera for anyone in film. -=-=- DNA

Jayenkai	Asked about cheap cameras, Mr Geekanoids suggests a Panasonic DMC G5. YouTube The latest G6 model is twice the price, but the G5 seems a nice cheap price. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	Here's yet another Camera that you might find interesting if only to compare the specifications to another. https://dvcreators.net/canon-eos-m/ -=-=- DNA
