Hi, I'm new here.
I’m looking to replace a dedicated Sony video camera which is used to project craft demonstrations directly to a projector. Although our current camera can record to tape we don’t use this facility - just live projection.
While the camera works OK, we find that the zoom controls are fiddly, especially compared to using a zoom ring on a DLSR or similar. Therefore, I expect that a replacement will be a regular camera, with video capability.
Our projector is fairly old, also works OK, but is limited to composite Video In.
Can anyone recommend a replacement camera for us? Budget is not too important, by since we use the equipment only infrequntly, I do not want to spend excessively.
As a minimum, we would be looking for:

As a minimum, we would be looking for:
- Reasonable zoom capability
- Live output to our projector, I would assume we would need an adapter to provide the Video In signal we need. Is this even possible?. WiFi is not available.
- Ability to keep the camera plugged in - we don’t want to risk a dead battery during a demonstration.
