I've literally been looking for a video on this exact subject for a while, and I didnt even know it. You did an amazing job breaking down each camera. Im subscribing just because of this one video.
Glad it was helpful.
Thank you, great info. Appreciate you replying to most comments asking questions as I found these comments just as helpful as the video and changed my mind several times. Have decided on the Panasonic DVX200 even though I was worried about the age of this camera and it was out of my price range. The sensor size has got me so I'm going to look out for a good priced new or secondhand demo model. Ill be using for documentaries and occasional weddings.
Glad to see my Camcord on here :) i have the AX700. Its great
Great review and info. I have been looking for a video like this to help me pick my next Camera. I wish I could say i have made a final choice, but at least I have three strong options I will consider.
Nicely done with the information
Interesting range of Camcorders. i would have liked current price and weight. Weight important when travelling.
Completely Agree about Weight and Price. Also a link to a Feature Spreadsheet or Matrix.
This is video is right on time bro.. I need to step up my video quality and take my production to the next step. You missed the opportunity to review the Panasonic X1500 4k which would be alot of the ones you listed.
Yes the X1500 is a solid camera and a nice update to their earlier models in this lineup. Would recommend that one as well.
Just got the Canon G60 a few months ago. Thanks for this comparison.... I will use it on my next upgrade.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job on the video .....
Why not talk about the features that are being displayed on-screen rather than talk about them way before or way after they're shown? Using stock footage of the camera's animation is nice but it's confusing when done this way.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Thank you!
Yo this video is sick 🔥
Hi can someone please help me, i have an f35 and I want to ask if its possible to plug the charger directly to the camera?(without the battery)
Many thanks
I agree 101% with this range. Before I buy the DVX200 camcorder, technically and visually, it´s the best UHD 60p picture quality I see.
Yes the DVX200 is excellent.
I’d like to understand differences between Sony AX700 and Canon XA50. They seem comparable and trying to decide on one.
Did you ever buy one of them?
Could you do a deep dive review on the Sony FS5 II Camcorder?
Glad I found your channel; subscribed now.
Sure. We can put it on our radar. But, we just finished taking a look at its predecessor, the FX6. And it's a HUGEEE upgrade. If you haven't already purchased the FS5 II, I would really suggest watching some videos on the FX6. This camera is massive overhaul to the line, and definitely worth the price/upgrade.
Exellent review!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this thorough presentation. Do you have now or consider for the future a video on super 35mm camcorders?
Vasilis from Greece
Hi yes, we can do a future video specifically on super 35mm camcorders.
@@PhotographyPX There are no super 35 pro camcorders.
Hello Devaun, Great video and Great information and very informative!. I'm considering the Sony AX 100 4k. I think the Ax700 is really nice but so is the price! Anyway thanks again. Greg
If you don't need 120 fps recording at 1080p, get the AX100. These models are largely identical outside of the slow motion frame rates and capabilities. So it's a better deal if you don't need super slow motion video.
I have sony ax 100 check my last 20 videos all in sony ndr ax 100
I have the 700 and it is amazing. I found one on eBay that came with three batteries and a case for 1200
What video camera would you recommend for filming high school age soccer games? My budget is somewhere around 1-2k.
Hi consider looking into the Sony AX700. You'll want good subject tracking abilities and autofocusing for filming that kind of action.
I've been really bamboozled by the sheer number of pro 4k camcorders and agonising over what to buy. I always stuck with Canon in the past but all of my research into 4k keeps pointing me towards the Panasonic AG DVX 200. After watching your vid my mind is now made up. Thank you!
Good stuff. I too beleive that camcorders still have their place. I was an original DVX100 user with the mini tape and all. It's great to see you believe the DVX200 is top in that space. Should I do camcorder again, I'll probably do DVX200 as you recommended. Best!
Yes consider camcorders again. We film periodically with the Sony NX80, and it's a joy to use compared to using standard mirrorless camera's. Everything's just nice and convenient for filming, which makes the process of capturing great footage that much easier. We will eventually be transition over to the DVX200 ourselves for our channel.
Does anyone have experience using the Canon XA50 for video podcasting?
Thanks
A spreadsheet matrix of features would be really useful.
Hi Anthony, we can consider adding something like this to the blog post, sure.
Nice to see you know your things like that , so you think i should buy a camcorder over a camera i would like to do some volging .
No. I would suggest looking at this list of camera below, or our best action cameras video. There’s plenty of equally capable options that are far lighter and more affordable. There’s no real need to spend this much for vlogging.
Here’s our vlogging camera list.

Great presentations what’s zoom ratio for PVX200
Hi the zoom ratio is 13x.
wonderful show where is the best place to buy used camcorder
eBay
great vid man thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
5-0 in the house! First Amendment auditors lookin' for that best picture quality!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
can I actually edit one of these camcorders to perfectly edit my videos in color grading? Which camcorder would you recommend to me? Would be very, very grateful for an answer
Well yes, they would all give you enough room for color grading. I'd say look into the Sony Z-150 or the Z-90. Both of these cameras a solid all-rounders.
Is there any option to change the lance of camcorder like cina camera?.Is camcorder used for both still and video shooting ? Pls write here.
What do you mean lance? And you could use it for stills and videos. But, you’re better off getting a mirrorless camera and lens if you plan on doing so. These are really best for strictly recording video.
Ux 90 love
Very nice video sir...
Thanks for watching!
I am surprised the winer is now 5 / 6 years old from release date any new options to consider ?
Also for Figure Skating & Hockey what model will provide the best lock on auto focus to keep up with moving subject Spinning
twirling ect
Yes it's a solid option despite its age. But for a newer generation model consider Sony's PXW-Z190. This camcorder offers the same class-leading face/eye-detection as their mirrorless cameras. And it's one of the better options at this price point.
We shoot Roller Hockey with the DVX-200.... has never let us down, indoors and outdoors. Great camera !
You missed the Panasonic 4K HC-X1500 and 2000 models. Released spring 2020.
Hi, yes. We will add these when we update this list again.
I'm curious since the panasonic he x2000, canon
xa 50, and sony hxr nx80 are around the same
price range which is best for indoor sports and
weddings. I'm also which has best fully auto
performance. I'm focus on low light focus and zoom
in auto and manual. I could use your expertise.
Thanks.
Hi considering you want something easy to use, fast, and good in low light your best bet would be the NX-80. It delivers the fast autofocusing performance of the group and the automatic mode is great, though slightly behind the XA50. I wouldn't recommend the X2000 for this kind of application, as you'll be pulling focusing manually more often than not on that camera.
@@PhotographyPX Thanks alot!
Being a. Five year old camera do you think the DVX 200 is still the best or do you have a newer model that is significantly better?
It's still good. But we will be going through and updating this list the in coming months. There are a few new options from Panasonic Sony and Canon. But not sure exactly if they will outperform the DVX in RAW image quality.
Hi, thank you for the information. What about the Sony PXW-Z190? like this one much more than the Panasonic DVX 2000.
Hi, the Z190 is an excellent camcorder and it closely rivals the DVX200 in capabilities and low light performance. That’s another great option at this price point.
Haha. I thought you were white until you appeared at the end. And the last part of karate chop sequence...was a dead giveaway. A very informative clip. Tq for helping me decide.
Had the Sony z90 come out at the time you filmed this video?
Hi Andrew, no the Z90 wasn't available at that time. Excellent camcorder though, and one that mostly outpaces the competition at that price point.
What camera do you recommend for shooting music videos
Hi Dominique, you can use either the Sony NX80 or the Canon Canon XF400 (or the newer XF405) for that.
Panasonic DVX 200 Cam Coder, MFT for low light, Depth of Field Control and Documentary films, stands as the Top of the Line, among all ten Cameras.
It's impressive on paper. But here's what you don't see on the spec sheets: horrid highlight roll-off, muddy colors and choppy AF. The DOF advantage of micro 4/3 over 1" is negligible. The IQ, color science and AF capabilities of the Canon XF705 (which didn't even make the list, for some reason) is far superior.
@@idahofallsmagazine3691 I am operating 2 panasonic ux90s, and now considering getting myself a ux180 or dvx200.
now according to Panasonic sales in my country....they suggested me ux180 instead of dvx200 for better encoder and 4k format and yes...af speed.... and it seems like you wouldn't recommend dvx 200 as well.
موقع الشرء اين هو
What’s the difference between the dvx200 and the cx350? Which is more higher end?
Hi Flavio the main differences are: the DVX200 has a large Micro Four Thirds sized sensor. But the CX350 has a larger zoom range at 20x, it also has new H.265 codec (which produces higher quality videos than standard H.264 at similar resolutions and frame rates) and it also shoots 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally (which will give you more room for color grading). These are the main differences that stand out immediately.
So for the most part the DVX200 will be better in low light. But the XC350 makes up for it with a better zoom, and better recording abilities. So with enough light, it will likely outdo the DVX.

Do any of these cameras have inferred or can you attach an inferred light to the camcorder?
Canon XA 40 has a built in IR light - prob others too
The XA50 does. I believe the XA11 and up all have it. The light is in the grip on the XA50 so if you don’t have it on you’ll need a light.
I own the DVX-200 and I LOVE IT!
How is it in low light?
Can you send me some original Clips to color grade it? I will buy the dvx 200 but i don’t find original clips to edit
Us too ! Love it !
Nice video
Thanks
I'm confused: why does the scrub bar say Canon XF400 at 15:25 while showing me a Panasonic DVX200?
Yes. This was an uploading error, that we didn't catch until someone first commented letting us know. When I do my rounds to update all of our Top Ten/Best posts and videos, we will republish this video and get that fixed accordingly. Assuming the XF400 remains in that spot. There's several new cameras on the market now.
Canon has full frame sensor camcorders. That will walk circle s around the Sony's and Panasonic's.
You're conflating cine cameras and prosumer mirrorless hybrids with camcorders. There are no full-frame professional camcorders on the market.
Which Canon
Wow how moch this comra...
Great
Can you do a similar video for cameras under USD 2K?
Sure. Will add this to our radar to start researching and compile a list.
@@PhotographyPX would love that. maybe a full-HD camcorder list?
Camcorder vs blackmagic camera which one is a better?
This depends on your preference for camera style. The black magic pocket line is very much styled like a DSLR. Camcorder's have a very different form factor. From a quality and feature stand point, both are the same. But, their form factors are totally different. Use that as a deciding factor.
I think your chapter divisions are mixed up. Can you double check that please.
Good
What about the Panasonic AG CX350? I'd def. replace it with the UX180.
Yes. Solid camera. We will add it to this list when we do our rounds of updating to make everything current. Waiting to see if any other options release next month.
@@PhotographyPX For a Low Light music video (for example) would you recommend a Panaosic UX180 over a Sony A7III? Thank you so much for all of your content!
The UX180 isn't great in low light. I wouldn't suggest this camera unless you plan on added a lot of light to the scene. So, for this case, the A7 III is a much better option, since it has a much larger full-frame sensor. The UX180 is a better overall package for video, but not when it comes to low light.
which one patter pxw-z90v 4k hd compact nxcam camcorder Panasonic X2000 4K Professional Camcorder
Hi both of these cameras are quite similar. But I would go for the Z90 here, since it has a much larger 1-inch sensor and performs better in low-light situations.
What is the best camcorder for wildlife?
For wildlife you're going to want a long telephoto lens and excellent autofocus. So I would consider looking into the Sony NX80. It's the best focusing camera of this particular list, especially when it comes to subject tracking as opposed to smooth rack focusing for cinematic footage.
@@PhotographyPX thank you so much for the information
Which camera is the best for church use? We are shooting almost 100ft away and we want to zoom in the preacher. We have good lighting.
Hi for this type of medium, you want a camera that has a long zoom range and effective focal length. But a camera that can ACTUALLY focus when zoomed all the way in (not all of these cameras focus that great at 350mm). So I would suggest the Panasonic UX180 or the UX90, depending if you need the extra audio ports of the UX180 or not. I think those are your best option.
@@PhotographyPX we got the UX180, however, when we plug the camera into our video switched (Roland 1-hd
) it shows static. We connect it using hdmi. Why is that?
I am trying to decide between Canon Vixia HF G60 and the Sony AX700. Sure enough they were #10 and #9, so very close. Subjects are people indoor and outdoor from close up to 20 feet away, mostly for music videos. These both seem so close, so hard to choose. They are even almost the same price.
Hi Leo, I can see why this would be a confusing choice. These are basically the same cameras, just as different variants marked as "Sony" or "Canon". But, from a technical standpoint, they're basically identical. The only real differences here to consider are the autofocusing systems, where the G60 uses Canon's Dual Pixel AF and the Sony their Fast Hybrid AF. Canon's AF system provides more tenacious, smooth and cinematic focusing by default. The Sony is more responsive and quick. Both have their advantages. The other consideration is the slow motion capabilities. If you want high quality slow motion video, the Sony is the better option. It offers better data rates (meaning less compression, and more detail) and high frame rates. Otherwise, choose whichever camera aesthetically fits you the most.
Would the UX180 be suitable for filming fast moving Aircraft?
Hi, no. I wouldn't suggest the UX180 for tracking fast moving subjects. You're better off looking at an equivalent Sony PXW-Z-series camcorder instead. Consider looking into the Z90. It's a very similar price point to the UX180, but the form factor is quite different. Hopefully that in particular isn't a deal-breaker to you. But, it would be far better for this medium.
which ones have sdi out
DVX200, UX180, XA55, and the Z150.
@@PhotographyPX thanks
Sir which is best of price1.45lac under 4k video camera wedging shoot
How does 1.45 lac covert to USD? Is this a similar currency to rupees?
you should coment on battery life
We can make a note for this for future camcorder videos. Sure. But on average, the standard for a camcorder is usually 4-6 hours of continuous recording time. Most of these cameras have outstanding lifespans far exceeding their mirrorless and DSLR counterparts.
I've seen JVC GY-LS300 m4/3 sensor + interchangable lens on sale at $2k! Panasonic AG-DVX200 also m4/3 better for hand held though with inbuilt gimble fixed lens.
sony are disappointing. I bought rubbish from Sony PXW-Z190 unpractical on low light condition.
This is more so the size of the sensor. Both the Canon and Panasonic equivalents to the Z190 would also be poor choices for low light. If you want a low light camcorder, you'd want to look at micro-four third options. Or consider an APS-C or full-frame setup. These camera's aren't great in low light.
Jvc gy-ls300
We used to use JVC a lot, never shot with the LS300, still a great camera too. Waiting for JVC to offer something awesome !
@@PhotographyPX "These camera's aren't great in low light." Yeah that's true. Also true: They also don't shoot 45mp stills in 14-bit raw, or have interchangeable mounts for 5-figure PL cine lenses. On the other hand, for the size of sensor (1"), and the fact that they have a single integrated zoom lens, they are absolutely outstanding. From 25mm to 38mm, my XF400 footage looks great at 24db gain.
Want to start a channel mostly how to videos in my garage so most likely using a tripod and want an external mic. What’s the best camcorder to get for 200 dollars with the tripod and mic.
For this, I would honestly just use your smartphone and consider getting the Rode wireless Lav kit, and install that receiver into your phone. It'll be quite challenging to find a strong camcorder and combo at this price. So invest the money on a good lapel setup instead, then save for a entry-level mirrorless camera, say the Canon EOS M50, Sony A6100, Panasonic G7, or Fujifilm X-T1 or 2 when you're ready.
2:12 ME: JELLLYYYYYY
Ok, so if I were wanting to shoot short/feature films, which of these would you recommend? I am not a fan of DSLR because of all the lenses. But I dont want to spend 10k on a cinema cam right now either.
Understanable. I would get the Panasonic DVX200, specifically for it's larger Micro Four Thirds Sensor. All of the other camcorders are capable in many ways, but that larger sensor makes a significant difference in the real world if you shoot in low light. Otherwise, if that's not a huge concern the Sony NX80 is perfect. It's a powerful camera for this price.
Which ones are best in low light?
Hi Jaanus, that would be the Panasonic DVX200.
Thank you!
Video is titled best 4K camcorders 2022, naming DVX200 as #1, however that is a much older camcorder and is no longer available. Also, no mention of JVC GY-HM500? Otherwise, good synopsis!
Hi Scott, the DVX200 recently was discontinued after updating this post. But, I will take a look at the new HM500 when we go through our round of updates so I can compared it to the already excellent HM250U.
Thought my man was starting to rap at 9:41
Best Video on the matter, but you gotta fix those time codes. They're all over the place
(Google translation) Does anyone want to help me please? When I record with Sony HXR-NX100 HD NXCAM Camcorder, the sound of the videos is good, on the other hand when I do Direct, the sound is repeated and the quality is very poor.

What happened to #7 ?
Upload error on youtube. Information on #7 (Canon XC15) is found in the full blog post, links in the description.
4K is like Blu Ray . There isn't enough difference in picture quality to justify the cost difference. I have two camcorders, one 4K and a Sony DSC-DV710 and I prefer the Sony over the 4K.
dvx200 or 6k pro-Blackmagic?
I would suggest the 6K Pro, you get far more long-term flexibility with that camera given it has interchangeable lenses and RAW video.
dvx200
is 4k 60p too much to ask for? only 2 or 3 of these provide this....
I feel you. 4K 60p is a rather new addition to most consumer cinema cameras. And it was something reserved for the flagship cinema cameras triple the price, until the last few years. Most camera's today still lack the feature, and if they do they're usually expensive. It's quite demanding from a processing standpoint, and processors are finally getting to the point of handling this amount of data at 300 MB/s codecs. For the time being, If you want 60p recording, it's going to be super expensive. Somewhere around 2.5K- 3K.
The most of them are too old models
Sony nx200 professional 4k shoot Camera Best R not Best?
Why are the time stamps all messed up?
Hi there was an uploading error on this video, that skipped over the XC15. We will re-upload the video when we do our rounds of updating this particular list with newer options. Until then, we're leaving at is.
I was all good until you went all karate kid... but thank you for the informative run down... lol
zoomX145000
many good camcorders, but i go with canon xf605.
Great choice.
Great Line up love the video. Inquiring minds I wanna know. Why wasn’t Panasonic. AG- CX350 flag ship listed? Because I was thinking about buying the Panasonic CX-350.
Hi. Merely because of price. As the flagship, it's the most expensive camera Panasonic offers in the range. And it's mostly out of budget for our user base. Even the DVX-200 is pushing it. But, we figured it'd be more accessible on a the used/referb market, considering its age.
Photography PX Sometimes don’t let money get in the way. have you seen the specs on Panasonic CX350? And not to mention Weight of that camera 🎥 The weight is very important these days. With that said by me knowing the specs on CX-350 and I’m trying to find a better solution this video mislead me. Don’t mislead your base they depend on you rather if the budget is high. Go by your title of your video.
Yes we are aware. But it's not realistic. We have to appeal to a general audience.
Panasonic AG-DVX200 gives very beautiful images. But it has 2 big negative points. The weight, 3.1 kg, the tripod is required. And its unreliable autofocus. I recommend for those who want to stay in Panasonic the HC-X2000 model weighing 1.5 kg with better focus or the HC-X1500E model for a weight of 1.2 kg.
Currently, I trust Sony for reliable autofocus.
Yes. Agreed Andrew. These are also big factors to consider about the DVX200. It's quite a large camcorder that's best used with a tripod, manual focusing and peaking.
Indian professional wedding shooting wich is best camera
Hi Mayur, your best option is the Panasonic DVX-200 if you can find it.
@@PhotographyPX.. Sir My budget 150lack under plz tel me which is best
These things always fall apart in sensor sizes and interchangeability of lenses sadly
Yeah the sensor sizes are a weakness for sure. But considering the price point for most of these cameras and their capabilities, getting an equivalent mirrorless or DSLR setup with the same lens would cost 2-3x more. For what it's worth, these cameras are way more convenient and affordable than their larger censored counterparts. The lenses are all fairly sharp, and they have excellent video-centric capabilities.
Photography PX it all depends on the cameras we are comparing honestly. For example for the same price of the Canon Xc15 you can buy a fully kitted out Blackmagic Pocket4k with SSD, atomos shinobi and a v mount battery, and have a more capable setup. Or a used C100 mk1...both with far superior sensors and low light. The cost to value ratio just hasn’t caught up to DSLRs and Cinema cameras yet for some reason i just don’t understand. It’s like they’ve abandoned the market.
Yeah that's true. I suppose at that point it all comes down to form factor. But, yeah this segment of the market is quite niche. But, camcorder are absolutely still used, particular for ENG and run & gun work. They're standards for most broadcast application currently filmed today.
I'm planning to buy a camcorder,but when i check the video quality, blackmagic camera are for more better..can you suggest me what i should buy?
My main plan is to shoot videos for stock sites..
Hi yes, consider the Black Magic Pocket 4K.
You can also consider getting the newly announced Sony A7S III or Canon's EOS R6. Possibly even last years Panasonic S1H. All four of these cameras are incredibly strong options for what you're looking to do. But know, these three camera's are definitely going to be a lot more expensive, particular compared to a use BMP4K.
Where is the XC15 ?
Hi, we had an uploading error when we first published this video. And somehow that section of the video was clipped out. The information about the XC15 is only on our website in the accompanying blog post. We will fix this when we update this listing and add new cameras.
XC15???
Yes. The XC15 is a great option. That's what we use to record UA-cam videos.
Nice list of cameras. However, that is a Headphone Output, not a Headphone Input.
*Well .... where is the place for JVC 4K pro-summer camcorders ??*
*Nowhere ?? Ups !!!!* :o(
JVC is a player in the game here. But, they're usually not a go to amongst most filmmakers. So we decided to skip them. But, they would compete favorable with various Panasonic HC models for sure.
@@PhotographyPX Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate it very much !! So far, I am so sure that JVC GY200 model, has not available through menu and sub-menus Vectroscope, Waveform Monitor or Histogram !!!! Otherwise, it is a pretty good professional Compact 4K video camera, but available for a reasonable price !!!!
@@PhotographyPX OK. Thank you so much :o)
Nice. The GY200 is pretty solid. But, yes check the manual on JVC's website to confirm if it has scopes and waveforms. Not all mid-range prosumer camcorders actually have those features. Some manufacturers just assume all videographers are using external monitors, which is clearly not always the case. So I don't understand why they keep overlooking this particular functions.
@@PhotographyPX If camera is the source of the video signal .... having Waveform & Vectroscope available on the board of it, is almost NECESSARY !!!!!!!! At least Histogram (for photography purpose). Canon XA10 has three of them available to bring them up (even together) ...on the LCD screen !!!! But getting into them from the main menu ... is a major pain on ass .... but it is still there available for sure !!!! Unfortunately, Canon XA10 & 20 ... they do not have ANY rings on the lens available, like JVC GY-HM200 definitely has !!!!

Ad z190 Sony
Yes. We will consider it when we update this particular list. The Z190 is a pretty solid option for the price.
Where is review #7 of XC15??????? Video skips to review #6
Yes this was an upload error at the time of publication.
@@PhotographyPX Andddd? where is it? Here's a couple of things. the XC10 and XC15 record 4k up to 30fps at 305mps the highest rate, meaning less compression. Also, with wide dr and log, plus matching to eos cinema cameras it makes a great A of B camera if you have a C300. There are quite a few things missing from your report. Like what color space does each use? 4:2:0? 4:2:2? battery life? . Good start, but it's now a year old so maybe there's a new version out.
Apparently the 4K 60P 10-bit 4:2:2 Canon XF705, sporting its superior highlight roll-off, overall IQ and color science ... is not good enough to be ranked alongside the Z150? Yeah, OK...

Where on Earth are 4K60 camcorders at the £500-600 mark?! I've been waiting for a 4K60 camcorder in the $500-1000 price range for about 6 years now. But every year all anyone seems to do is rebrand their 4K30 again.
The Sony AX-53 came out very late 2015 / early 2016, are Sony really saying they have no better sensor and processor to make a new camcorder? So instead they just take something off the AX53 and then charge the same price as what you can already pick up the AX53 for anyway. Why is 4K60 taking so long to come out arrive to the price point? Phones and GoPros have been doing 4K60 for years and even moved onto 4K120 and 8K30. When are we going to see Panasonic or Sony bring this to ~£600 price point, like a HC-VX2 or AX63??? They wouldn't need to spend that much money either, keep the lens and OIS and body and everything else the same but just update the sensor and processors to give us 4K60 on H.265.
For my use case which is filming low league football, handheld, pitch side you do seem to need a proper dedicated camcorder because the image stabilisation is much better on these plus the electric zooming and super fast focusing. I just wish they brought out 60fps version as I need to slow down clips at times, a 4K60 AX43 or HC-VX1 would be perfect.
Hi I feel you. Yes. But 4K60p is a rather new addition to the market, initially debuting in late 2017 starting with Sony and Canon's flagship Cinema lines. Only today is it now trickling down to their flagship mirrorless cameras, all of which are around to $2-3000 USD mark. It'll be another 2-3 years before we see such a high end recent feature hit the budget market. It's just too new.
@@PhotographyPX There is no technical reason that should be the case though. Phones and action cameras have been doing it for years!
All these companies cry that phones are stealing all their customers but they are so slow to give us new features when phones come out every single year and move things on significantly every single year!
Yeah this is true. But it may come down to the processing and hardware limitations with delivering these frame rates and resolutions. Most phones have smaller than 1/2.3" sensors, reducing the amount of data per second when recording high frame rate 4K. Since a 1-inch, micro four thirds, and APS-C sensor is significantly larger, we may have seen bottlenecks over the years in processing power and SD card speeds. We'd assume this is a big factor, but yes more 4K 60 cameras would be great.
@@PhotographyPX Good phones for a long time have had larger sensors than 1/2.3" Some are even getting closer to 1" but all the 4k30 camcorders at £500ish are using little sensors like them anyway. And they have huge amounts more space than a phone to cool their chips.
Yeah that's true. Good point. The sensors in some camcorders are about that of many of today's smartphones. And with their built-in fans, they definitely have the cooling power to handle unlimited 4K 60p video. It'd only become a real problem as you jump to APS-C or full-frame, with the enormous increase in data rates due to the larger sensor. But, either way, it's strange not to see 4K 60p be more of the norm at this price.
