Advice on new video camera? - sprinter2012 - 29-12-2019
Basically I'd like to start doing video filming and editing seeing as I already do the photo side of things. But video cameras aren't a technology I've been keeping track of really, so does anyone have any advice on what to look for?
High resolution is a must, I guess 1080p is pretty standard now?
Capability to shoot high frame rate at full 1080p, so maybe 120fps as that give nice smooth slo-mo footage?
Not really sure what else to look for?

GoPro?
The EOS 550D does 60fps at 720p?

I'd rather just put the extra money towards a dedicated video camera as I already have a DSLR. My dads bridge camera can do HD video, but the resolutions drops rapidly as the framerate increases.

According to Which? Cannon, Sony and Panasonic are all best buys - no surprise there!!
Cannon Legira HF-S21 comes out best (nearly £900)
Cannon Legira HF-S20 next
Sony - HDR-CX700
Canon - HF20
Canon - Legria HF S200
Panasonic - HDC-SDT750 (3D at £700)
Bottom of the best buys is the Panasonic - HDC-SD60 but at £400 its cheap as chips!!

After some more thought on this, I'm actually leaning towards Ollie's suggestion of the Canon EOS 550D, it would mean I have to completely sell up my existing kit as nothing is interchangeable. But it means I'll only have to carry one camera around with me. So if you could have a look at one of those for me (body only for now, as I haven't decided what lenses I want yet) that would be great

Done a bit more research and it seems the best value is a bundle which contains the above mentioned camera, a 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens. So thats probably what i'd go for, so price me up Rabs
