Julian Moser Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Hello everyone, Not much of a question, but I´d still like to hear what people think about this. I just finished a documentary that we shot on the GH5s because we had to be low profile, nimble and often in low light situations. The handling of DSLR/DSLM cameras to me is always a nightmare no matter what you do and yet there is nothing that beats the quality/size package for places where you can´t work with a bigger camera. I guess an ideal camcorder for these kind of projects would be a camera in between the GH5s and an EVA with a M4/3 sensor. I wouldn´t even mind an integrated lens. I never used the DVX200 because it seemed too clunky and from all I´ve heard almost unusable in low light. I just wish there would be a digital run and gun 16mm style camera. Seems like the ingredients are there, but with manufacturers focusing on FF now I feel like this ship has probably sailed....
Premium Member Aapo Lettinen Posted May 5, 2021 Premium Member Posted May 5, 2021 there is block style cameras like the Z-Cam E2-M4 and the similar style system from Panasonic. they have M43 sensor and are relatively small and handy. you will need a external monitor though
Premium Member Baltasar Thomas Posted May 6, 2021 Premium Member Posted May 6, 2021 Take a look at the JVC GY-LS300CHE, might be exactly what you're looking for.
Julian Moser Posted June 11, 2021 Author Posted June 11, 2021 @aapo lettinen they are modular camera systems though. I´m sure they are decent cameras for specific purposes but in my opinion not documentary suitable.
Julian Moser Posted June 11, 2021 Author Posted June 11, 2021 @Baltasar Thomas if the JVC GY-LS300CHE had a m43 or even closer to s16mm sensor then yes, but it´s s35, right? I guess I´m looking for a 2021 Verison of a AG-AF100...
