I would think the autofocus on the Sony would be better than the Panasonic. I don't have the Sony, but I do have the FZ2500 and we cannot rely on its AF. It does have focus peaking for manual ...

Thanks! I'll be sending this link to my stepson. You didn't mention 360 video, so I'm assuming it's not a "thing" yet?

Could you elaborate a bit on what your real estate clients are buying? For example, are they hiring you to provide drone footage plus video footage plus photos, or are those jobs delegated to ...

well... I found a comparison video on YouTube: full frame camera and crop sensor camera shooting the same scene at F 5.6. Full frame had an 85mm lens, crop sensor had a 50mm lens which meant both ...

Panasonic FZ300 might fit the bill. It's a camera form factor, but it shoots 4k, has a power zoom lens and a small sensor. I don't know about high frame rates.

Thanks for the compliment, but it's unearned. I am frequently wrong, but try to hide it with long, pedantic explanations designed to inspire readers to move on to the next post. :) My buddy is a ...

Pick up the book "How to shoot video that doesn't suck". It's focused on the video, not the gear you use to make it. You can learn a lot about shooting video with a smart phone. Samsung smart ...

If I was taking a camera traveling for a year, I wouldn't be thinking about going bigger. Also, if you're shooting sports, do you really want less depth of field? Curious about your wide lens on ...

I thought there was a Black Magic discussion on this forum a couple of weeks ago. A search of the forum would probably pull it up.

If Panasonic doesn't come up with a more reliable AF system, their future in the casual video shooter market is doomed.

Made in America by American craftsmen and women. Some of us like supporting American craftsmen and women, and some of us like the retro vibe of wood. It's a subjective thing. The 3D printed one ...

Maybe you need one of these to change the ergonomics so you're not gripping so hard with your thumb. http://www.jbcameradesigns.com/shop/bamboo-grip-pro

Have you tried manual focus with focus peaking turned on? Pro videographers work that way.

How important is image quality for family videos? I'd be inclined to just get a small consumer camcorder for zooming, and a Samsung phone and gimbal for those kinds of shots, and stick with a ...

I think the FZ2500 was mentioned in the context of zooming. If your only use would be stationary on a tripod, you could get a Panasonic G7. It has a micro 4/3 sensor, which is significantly larger ...

If you want to zoom with autofocus - in low light situations - and you don't want the crappy image quality of a consumer camcorder, you might consider the Canon GX10 prosumer camcorder. It has ...

If portability is an issue, you might regret lugging the added screen around. Since I'm a big fan of living for today and paying off the credit card debt tomorrow, I'd just get a camera with focus ...

Re: Above post, in Premiere it's called "paste attributes".

Theoretically, you could use zebras and the histogram to set exposure on the fixed cameras, and then just deal with underexposed footage when the lighting changes - or you could run back and forth ...

I work on a Mac, so my music software wouldn't help you, but I consider markers to be one of the most important features for an audio editor. Just like in PP, where you can add markers on the fly, ...
