24p Low Light
So I need to get a camera that shoots 24p, but it has to shoot well in low light situations and have XLR inputs. Any suggestions? My price range is around $3000 and I also want a great picture when not shooting in 24p (obviously). ANy help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! |
Panasonic hmc150. It does all you want, and it's as close in price as you are going to find.

Include the Canon xh-a1 and i guess that's about it in the pricerange for camera's with xlr inputs and 24p possibility.

You should also look at the Sony Z7...or the cheaper Z7. These cameras shoot real 24p unlike the canon 24F. Also these cameras are great in low light almost back to the level of the PD170, especially in 24p mode they really suck the light in.
I have the Z7 and love it, it is a great camera. One of my friends has an A1 and since seeing the Z7 is considering swapping across to it. |
What about ease of use? I'm an editor first, camera man second, so I don't really want something I'm going to have to take a long time to learn how to use or get comfortable with.

I just looked at the Sony. I saw some test footage that looks really good, but it doesn't seem to have xlr and over $5000.

I know how to use a camera, I just mean I don't want to get a new camera a week before I need to use it and I have a try to figure out how to navigate a bunch or menus in order to change something basic.

Compared to my dvx100 the xh-a1 has a much steeper learing curve. |
I have a Canon now, don't like the menus. Took me forever to figure out how to adjust the gain.

That being said, that's certainly an impressively low price on those ebay lights. Do they have a fan? I need to take another look at the ad. |
