That's why I told you last November . . .
'You may find that a traditional camcorder suits your needs better than a DSLR or mirrorless."

Re: Looking for a DSLR for Video, and Lost

So to wrap this one up I'll say that I am convinced that I should shoot video with a video camera and keep my Pentax K50 for stills, and video in a pinch.

The reply that mentioned the Sony AX53 helped me decide that my own traveling camcorder, a Panasonic HC-X920 (https://www.panasonic.com/mea/en/sup...r/HC-X920.html), is probably all I need, for the time being at least.

But inspecting it caused me to notice how badly the internal lens elements of my WA adaptor had become filmed over since I last used it. So for the past few weeks I have been having an adventure in cleaning a lens internally, which I invite you to learn about in a new thread, here:

If I don't see you there, thanks for the sage advice!

A GoPro on a stabiliser can produce some really nice images if you need to wander around.
