My camcorder died, so I decided (for a few reasons) to not replace with another camcorder and try a Sony A6000 mirrorless camera.
I was a bit apprehensive how it would deal with recording my basketball matches due to poor indoor light, fast action, and multiple subjects in each frame (my Nikon D5100's autofocus really struggled). I was also concerned by battery life and overheating issues when recording 15-20min clips each quarter.
Very pleased with the result though! Although the camera work by some of my teammates while I was on the court left a little to be desired!! No overheating issues, swapped battery at half time (although I probably didn't need to), autofocus did a great job, and I like the image quality.
Great little camera!
