Thanks. I have seen that video and noticed a distinct difference in the color cast. It seems as though Panasonic gear has a sort of warmth to it that's different from the more clinical look of ...

You might try a wifi booster or wifi extender box. It would receive the signal from the tablet and relay a stronger signal to the camera.

"They" say, in a multi-camera shoot, one should use the same make and model camera, implying that it's impossible to match different camera brands in post. In a live music situation, there may be ...

My dilemma: Lumix G7, GX85, and Panasonic HC-X1 prosumer camcorder all work well together in multi-camera live music video shoots, but I need one more camera for hand held. (Not interested in a ...

My niche is multi-camera video shoots of live music. On the upgrade path, I've ended up with a Lumix G7, GX85, and Panasonic HC-X1 prosumer camcorder. These cameras work well together. The IQ and ...

I'd probably get the 4-channel Zoom H4, assuming it can do this: Route the stereo mics to two channels, and route the same mics to the other two channels, but at a lower input volume so if the ...

If you got a Zoom, they're so small, you could probably hang it on your belt, or duct tape it to a hat, or mount it on a shoulder rig with your camera. (I have read that the Tascam recorders don't ...

I bought a 7" pad from Office Depot for under $100. It runs the Panasonic app for Lumix and works fine. I'm no expert on wifi, but the proximity of the pad to the camera could be a factor. Keep in ...

External recorders have decent preamps and record at 24bit. Cameras have cheap preamps and record at 16bit. 24bit is 100 times the resolution of 16 bit. That means you can turn down the input on ...

The AX100 does have power zoom. It also has an assignable lens ring that can zoom or focus if one prefers manual control.

I see you mentioned a slider. I got a Movo 47" slider for around $100. (MVT-120) It seems to be really solid, capable of handling a heavy rig. They recommend two tripods, one supporting each end, ...

Go to YouTube and type in "matching the color of two shots in premiere pro."

Check out the Sony AX-100 camcorder. It has a one-inch sensor which - they say - gives better low light performance because the pixels are bigger. Speaking from experience, I've found the one-inch ...

...or, get a Yi 4k action camera and put it on one of those $75 C-shaped stabilizers. The Yi is the Go Pro competitor, but it has a 1/4 inch camera mount instead of the proprietary Go Pro mount, ...

Are you looking at breaking into a particular market? Weddings? Corporate events? Music videos? Is there a local market that is being underserved at the moment? Whatever market you're shooting for ...

4k video? It seems the issue with Sony is the processing power required to downscale a 6k sensor to 4k output. In short bursts, this wouldn't be an issue, since the camera gets a chance to cool ...

So... I set up my Lumix G7 and the HC-X1 in an indoor low light situation. The HC-X1 is at least one F stop faster than the G7, I'm guessing because the pixels are larger on the HC-X1 sensor. I did ...

Check out the Panasonic HC-X1 prosumer camcorder, at $3k. It has a one-inch sensor - smaller than M4/3 cameras or DSLR's, but, because of the smaller sensor, you get more depth of field. The new ...

I forgot to mention 4k. 4k is the future. 4k video is twice the height and twice the width of 1080p video, which means you can do major cropping in the editing phase and still end up with 1080p ...

Consider whether or not you need power zoom, reliable auto focus and more depth of field. If you do, you'll probably want a camcorder, not a camera. Cameras have larger sensors, which equals less ...
