Hi,

I am looking for a good video camera.
Totally newbie
Good enough for short film.

Spec that I would prefer:
1080p (at least 60 fps, prefer 120fps)
Won't shake and blurring
Good low light performance

My budget is low, around 2000(the cheaper the better)
Welcome to offer me if you have used unit too
By the way GoPro Hero4 good enough? Any better alternative?

Thanks for reading

U mean the GoPro Hero4 Silver?

I heard GoPro Hero can't zoom, is it true?
Do u have any good recommendation?

Short film, short story in nature.
I am worrying there will be blurring in background of woods and leaves

Regarding fps, I will feel dizzy when watching 30fps video, so I prefer 45 at least. (But then I saw few cameras can capture in 30/60/120fps, don't have option 45, so I am looking to 60fps, maybe I can adjust in setting)

120fps just an additional feature so I can play with slow motion but not neccesary

I don't mind lower down resolution to 720p if the camera performs well in capturing details of nature elements.

Fuh! Luckily I asked opinions from u guys, if not I will go for it, amazed by the footage

Oh, so that 30fps at 1080p common in market should be enough?

When I watch this video at 1080p, I am not comfort, feel like abit lag?

Other videos at 1080p of Youtube seems fine, maybe GoPro Hero4 problem?

Do you have any recommendation?

Hi, after did research for whole day, I found Nikon D5300 and D7100, which one better?
I saw D5300 has higher contrast. (some said not good for editing)
Other than that both video quality look same. (Maybe I am too noob to see the difference)



Is it complicated to adjust settings for manual focus?
