Sony PXW x70
Hi
Is it worth getting a Sony pxw x70 for church event. So far found used ones on eBay. Do you recommend this camera or is it worth getting a different one.

Re: Sony PXW x70
How do you plan on using it for "Church Events"? I only ask because it could be overkill. If all you need is a small camera for webcasting or livestreaming mass you can probably do it for less, the AX100 should be comparable.
For me, shooting weddings, it's great. Has a very long zoom range, nice color, ND filters, XLR inputs, 1" sensor, great for churches, (admittedly some reception/dark dance floors it struggles without additional lighting), and a 4K upgrade option future proofs it for 5-7 years. Its a small little bugger, but it packs a heckuva punch. The more you dive into the settings (Steadyshot, Scene Selects, Profiles) the more you can do with it. But yeah its a great little camera. Great run & gun camera. |

Re: Sony PXW x70
Will be using it for livestream. Also for Interview. At this moment I do have a GH5 that I am using but still want get a regular camera since you can live stream directly from the camera itself. So far I am evaluating I am still evaluating to see if I should get this camera or just wait. Also I will be using it for Interviews and some jobs that came up like quinceaneras.

Re: Sony PXW x70
The X70 only live streams by itself to Ustream. For others, you need to stream through the HDMI or SDI to a computer or Teradek or similar.

Re: Sony PXW x70
I may have to wait before I purchase a new camera. I putting everything on hold until next year to purchase a new camera. I though about the X70 but I may go to a different camera. I have been reading about the jvc, and Panasonic cameras. Possible I may go back to a Canon camera.

i've generally bought last years model heavily discounted. unless you're changing format (eg. hd to 4k), i see little difference in same 'price range' that warrant staying on the treadmill.

Re: Sony PXW x70
Personally I'd like to see the VG series continue, but with a bit of an overhaul. Take the 4k DSLR's & sensors and fit it into a camcorder body & ergonomics, addon an XLR input. Either a VG40 or a VG9 (based upon the VG900 which didn't sell well)
