During my research to upgrade my PC for video editing, I learned that the problem I encountered (stutter in fast forward and fast backward playback) has more to do with the H.264 codec than with my PC hardware.

Someone suggested that proxy is an integral part of a professional video editing workflow.

That makes me wonder, is there any cameras (for serious amateur, prosumers) that record in ProRes or DNxHD codec?

PS: Actually, after posting the above, I found that some cameras would record the high resolution H.264 or H.265 while simultaneously recording proxy so I don't have to go through the transcoding.

Now what cameras do that? GH6?

Sony fx3 for proxy recording. You can even choose 10bit or 8bit, H264 or H265 codecs for the simultaneously recorded proxies.

Another option is to shoot in All-I rather than Long GOP. Those files are much easier to edit than the Long GOP codecs you are thinking of. The fx3 has that option also, and is the preferred Netflix option btw.
