Hi, another one here looking to upgrade, Can I have access please

You could have a look at a bridge camera such as the panasonic fz2000, it records 4k, and has a great lens, with ibis and a mic input and headphone jack. More importantly it won't overheat when recording. If you want even better quality the panasonuc S5iix will record 4k prores HQ straight to...

For me personally, the faster aperture is the main reason for using primes. For portraits and video interviews, (my main use cases) there's no zoom that can give you the separation of an ultra fast prime. You don't have to spend silly money. For seated video interviews, I picked up a...

A panasonic G7 might be worth considering. They are great value on the second hand market, and you could certainly pick one up with a decent lens within your budget. Also have a look at the other models in the panasonic range, such as: Gh4 Gh5 Fz1000

Z9 now £3930 at Panomoz which is cheaper than the rumoured price for the Z8 which is expected to be officially announced next week!!! https://panamoz.com/gb/nikon-z9-mirrorless-camera.html

It should be triggered to record by your camera, a signal from the camera to the ninja v over hdmi starts the ninja recording when you press record on the camera. Make sure the camera and the ninja have the latest firmware. You may need to select "remote trigger" in the cameras menu.

Without knowing your budget or output requirements it's difficult to recommend anything specific, but after filming for 40 years, the one I use mostly for on camera situations is the Vibesta peragos Disk 304P It can run for ages off a common NPF battery or AA batteries, it has a variable...

Have you considered the Panasonic FZ2000 Great zoom range and superb 4k picture quality. Mic input and headphone output, and ibis.

Yes definitely worth upgrading, but imo, the hero 7 black is the best value for money if your looking for a second hand one. The hero 11 is due to be announced in September, so I'd wait to see what it offers, and what it does to the price of the 10.

The go2 also has internal recording in the transmitters, which can be great as a back up if you experience interference or drop outs between the transmitters and the receiver. However, I found the transmitters to be far too big to use without adding lav mics, so I purchased the picogear...

I don't know if my flabber would be gasted, but I'd be pretty miffed if I'd got that quote for kit like that. At least you know where it won't end up.

Blackmagic cameras are capable of great results, but are quite demanding for newcomers to use. They have no AF (or single point AF) and are best used In fully manual mode. For beginners I'd suggest a second hand panasonic gh5. Or if that's too expensive, look at the excellent panasonic...

Did you look at the FZ2000 as an upgrade from your original bridge camera, its a great all rounder if your happy with a 1" sensor, and it's supper zoom is great, not to mention cheaper than investing in more glass.

The S5 is a great camera, but it's achilles heal is its micro hdmi port, if your using a camera for video conferences, you really don't want to be trusting a micro hdmi output port.

You can pick up a second hand panasonic s1 for around £1200 from e-bay, I don't know of a better full frame mirrorless camera for the money. The sony A7r3 is another excellent camera in your budget.
