My church has been shooting, recording and broadcasting our services for years. My pastor just recently came to me and mentioned updating to all new cameras (we currently have 4 camcorders - all Canon XLH1). Three of our cameras are starting to have issues (shutting off randomly, going dark for a moment, flashing black, etc)
He initially mentioned just buying a few of the same camera to keep everything consistent, but I suggested that maybe we should just go ahead and consider upgrading to some nicer cameras.
We discussed the idea of going with a Sony x70 with a nice 1" sensor (our current cameras have a 1/3" sensor) which I think will help with low light and with better depth of field.
Surprisingly, he just told me today that if we are going to buy, perhaps I'm right and we should just go all the way instead and to look at some cameras in the $2,500 range. He seemed comfortable spending about $1,600 initially so any suggestions between $1,600 and $2,500 would be great.
The only thing we need is a 3G SDI out and the ability to control it with a lanc controller
Here is an example of what our services look like if that matters. Any suggestions would be great!
