So, during that meeting I agreed to look into cameras. I met up with a
friend last friday who's a professional cameraman, and we came up with
three candidates. Prices are from a local (web)shop in Belgium. They
don't necessarily have to be the prices we'll end up paying, but I added
them to the list for comparison. Two were suggested by Carl, one my
friend came up with:
- JVC GY-HM200E: tested by CCC VOC. Has a network link and builtin RTMP
server, can be directly hooked up to Voctomix according to VOC. €2600,
but due to the network link, we wouldn't need the blackmagic cards, so
that's less money in the end. Bulky and heavy, though (so shipping
costs will be higher): 1.55kg, 13.5x19x26.3cm
- Sony PXW-X70: large sensor, therefore it has good low-light
capabilities. Good zoom lens. €2600, 1.4kg, 12.1x10.4x27.4cm. This
will likely produce the best picture out of the three, but would end
up being the most expensive option. Whether that is an important
consideration is up for discussion...
- Canon XA35: small, cheap, lightweight. €2100, 0.77kg, 10.9x8.4x18.2cm.
Technically it is not necessarily the best choice, but it is
considerably cheaper than the other two, and (due to lower shipping
costs) will remain so.
My friend suggested contacting a local company to see if I can get one
of each for a week or so to test them. I think that's a sensible
suggestion, but would like to not have to do that by myself ;-)
Thoughts?
