Filming a dance recital with 2 cameras I want to have a preset wide shot to cover the entire stage and one manned camera to follow the dancers. Does anyone have an idea which camera is best suited for which position?

The EA50 has a shallower depth of field so my choice would be EA50 full stage wide fixed and use NX5U for tracking. I use NX5U and once I set focus on stage do not bother again for the whole show as I can arrange for the whole stage to be within depth of field. You may end up refocusing a lot with the EA50 shallower depth of field.
