    I find it kind of incredible that given the price of some of these new mirrorless cameras, overheating would still be a thing. -_- - Thank you for the video!

      Camcorder won't give you a cinematic quality. Most of them have a small sensor and no interchangeable lens. I tried all kinds of them, from middle-class Panasonic to professional Sony. Good for documentaries or TV style shows, never work for music clip or any creative video

      @@ShlomoNizin The problem i face is my unstable shaky hands, unimaginative and non-creativity. I have not reached the stage where the cam matters .... well it matters if i cannot record a video continuously for up to 30 minutes without overheating though.

    • @ShlomoNizin
      @ShlomoNizin 9 місяців тому

      @Unteroffizier You can't get a good image with a smaller sensor. Even with the best hands in the world. Also, you can buy a newer camera without any limitations in video shooting or use the older cameras with some tricks. I'm doing shooting with 3 Canon cameras. Every camera has an intervalometer that starts the video recording again after it stops. So it's virtually unlimited. At least one camera will shoot at the time that another will restart.
      You won't find a movie or musical clip shooted on a mid-priced camcorder. But there are millions of them shooted on DSLR or mirrorless camera. I would go for inconvenience to win the quality

    Just buy a Panasonic and quit worrying about it. OR buy a Nikon. That's right a Nikon! Not just for stills. Canon and Sony need to build better.

      @@diyfwmbI think that for wedding work, the high end Nikons are the way to go. Fabulous batteries, amazing glass and those massive sensors are sensual?? They're capable at least. So you have a camera that won't run out of battery too quickly and die, won't overheat and die and will shoot incredible stills and video whenever where-ever. Even an old Panasonic Lumix GH5, although and not really built for stills as a priority, is still so much better than a Canon for wedding work; just because its reliable.

      I own Nikon, Canon and Sony Mirrorless Cameras and they do overheat in hot Texas weather. I found that downscaling your 4k to 1080p dramatically reduces the chances of overheating. The tips in this video is excellent.

    Why do people insist on using these cameras for video? Camcorders were built for recording ours an hours of video with no overheating

    • @diyfwmb
      @diyfwmb  2 роки тому +2

      True. However, mirrorless cameras are cheaper and are ideal for photographer / videographers (those who do both). They allow amateurs / freelancers / wedding videographers to get a great "cinema-like" video image with a consumer / reasonably priced camera. They're also smaller and lighter, and the lenses are often cheaper and more readily available.
      But yeah. Those professionals who work mainly in video will usually invest in a cinema camera. No overheating, but costs more.
