What camera do you use?

[Cyberghost]

A question to the video content producers. What camera do you use for video shoot ? What can you currently recommend? I have with cameras not much experience. It should be easy to learn and easy to use.
Price is around 1000-1200 dollars / euro.

1000 is not much of a budget for a camera.

I could recommend this camera:

We use Reds but also as a 2nd Unit we use Pannasonic HVX 200 with P2 60 cards... Used at about 1,000 set up properly and with good lighting they have an amazing cinematic feel to the material.

Most cameras today are capable of producing really good results, if you know what you're doing. This isn't the early 2000's where there was a huge image quality difference depending on what camera you went with. The quality differences between a Canon C100 and Arri Alexa can be very difficult to spot, especially when we are talking about non-threatrical distribution.

Things like sound quality, lighting, technique, and editing are going to play a much bigger role in the overall quality of your video than what camera you select.

Instead of trying to parse which camera has the most dynamic range, or performs best on resolution tests, or most accurate color reproduction, I suggest you pick a camera that works for you- Something that gives you, the camera operator, the best ergonomic experience when shooting. Also, something that works with your workflow. You might be able to get a Blackmagic Cinema camera, but working with RAW video might not be the best option for you.

Someone who knows what they are doing can produce great results with a cell phone camera. Likewise, someone who doesn't know what they are doing can use the best camera in the world and still not produce a good video.

So, don't focus so much on getting the "best" camera. Produce good content. Light it well, and figure out some way to capture good audio. Do these things, and even if your camera is only so-so, you will still have a great video.

I agree 100%


also, lens are more important than the camera ;)
