I do need f2.0 iris opening in all focal lenghts, xlr inputs, sdi outputs, nd filters (variable if possible) and a mother of a zoom lens... oh and 4k is not that important... 1080 50i - that is INTERLACED - is still a standard for example...

Try to shoot airshows or motorsports with a cinema camera, its a hot mess. Camcorders rule for those type applications. Ultra long lens servo zoom and small, light, ability to move around the track or airshow to gain different shots make them the right tool for those applications.

I want a best of video of 2 min. with highlights of key moments and also social and networking (cocktails, dinners, etc.) - I will use my Sony A7S3 without blinking. But if they say to me, I want to show live on a big screen the presenters and record in full some of the Keynote sessions. I will take the NX800 without blinking. Different tools for different jobs.

What's bad about having a 20x f/2.8-4.5 lens on a 1-inch sensor? That lens is impossible on full frame, aps-c or even m4/3, and it's so convenient. Sure, the price is ridiculous, but it's marketed for "semi-pro" market.

Right tool for the right job. The Z200 is a brilliant camcorder, I own one and have used it already on a couple of live streaming jobs where my FX9 with 28-135 wouldn't have the reach. Conversely I wouldn't use the Z200 when filming at festivals where I use my FX3 on a gimbal. The Z200 has surpassed previous Sony camcorders in the prosumer line as they have finally added waveform, 422 10 bit and the vari nd tech.

[@Jambo1999]

I wish mirrorless cameras had adopted the "bread loaf" form factor of camcorders. Camcorders: You flip the screen out. Lots of room to plug in things. Battery attached to the back! Amazing, No doors! Hot shoe on top, sure. Eyecup that swivels. Attach a bracket for a more-steady hold. Somehow companies are stuck on film-camera shapes for mirrorless.

[@DonVetto-vx9dd]

Event videographer definitely need that insanely long recording time. And no event videographer need toneh, in events you want to show everything. Long zoom definitely works in favor too. That thing weight like what? 2kg? That's insanely light. I can see that thing become really popular with event organizers and even some youtubers . Not all youtubers like toneh. Big car channels, lifestyle channels, journalism channels would love this thing.

[@danieldougan269]

As an Olympus shooter, I have been looking for a second camera to do event work. The image doesn't need to be super cinematic. It just needs to look decent, keep everything in focus, and run for a long time. This is where camcorders really shine. And the 1" type sensor means you can get some shallow depth of field, unlike the older 1/4" or 1/3" sensors on camcorders before. With phase-detect autofocus, it does feel like a sweet spot. I have even been looking at some older 1080p camcorders with those really small sensors because you can find them dirt cheap on eBay ($300 or less), and some of the prosumer models are halfway decent. Again, not trying to make a Hollywood picture but capture, say, a wedding.

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Then you wouldnt need a new camcorder. 2017 and up would do

[@manofyeo]

I paid $600 for my first camera, a used Panasonic DVX100B. It was an indie film makers dream back then in the 2000's shooting in "film" 24p 480. Crazy how things have changed because now I have a a G100 that was about the same price and is probably 10x better image and resolution. But theres something special about using a camcorder with an xlr boom mic that makes you feel like a one man film crew. And being able to zoom smoothly.

[@chuawee]

Guess the Pocket 3 just had a stiff neck the other day lmao

[@sbozinovic]

I love these comparisons, they do mix apples and oranges, so to speak, but they are funny. Btw, all cameras are video cameras nowadays... I mean they shoot video, right. Some of them are photo cameras also, though... Anyways, as a broadcast and news cameraman, let me tell you that the best camera, sorry camcorder, for me is (in that segment, not counting those big 450s or 750s) z280 with... 1/2 inch sensor (albeit 3 of them). Oh, and... when shooting news I really don't care for the Toneh that much. What I do care about is variable ND, f2 lens at all focal lenghts, xlr inputs, streaming capabilities, sdi connectors, and the zoom range that allows me to shoot quite the distance from the angry police or rioters or flying stones. And, even the F12 sensitivity isn't that bad either...

[@cameraconspiracies]

It's too tight. And very heavy for a 1/2.55 inch sensor.

[@felixvideoworkshop]

Panasonic HC-X1500 is such a good example. One part loves it - a wonderful lens, great video quality - but soooo many unbearable UX problems for 2024. No USB-C, no bluetooth remote connectivity. You can't set white balance manually without setting the camera to fully manual. No app.

[@DeluxSkater]

I feel you so bad !! I've been searching for a compact yet good camcorder as i don't want to carry my a7s iii with me, you know something lighter... and cheaper lol but reality is they are SO expensive and for what quality ? I've looked at the Canon XA70 (that one has a 1" sensor compared to the xa60 and 65 which have an even smaller sensor lmao, the 75 has sdi which i dont need) but that's like 1850~ ish euro or the Panasonic x2000, even cheaper at around 1,6k but honestly. It's 1. still to big for my taste, second, that tiny a$$ sensor, no separation, no low light capability (i know, i'm spoiled with the dual gain from a7s iii) but i don't even need a 247238 gazilion times zoom. So i bought the sony cx405 for fun, very tiny, best stab, for what it is and from that year good quality. i paid like 230 euro for it. I feel like that we wont find what we are looking for in a camcorder. Your x3000 still blows most of it lmao Now i started to look into small, compact photography cameras, i want some film sims. At first i was like either ricoh gr iii or the x100vi but then i thought it would be more fun to be able to change lenses and i think i would go for an updated version of the xe4, which is supposed to come next year.

But I have to say that you can keep the Z200 on for hours without overheating, use mic xlr, you can stream or live video, it has electronically variable ND automatically. In short, it's a compact ENG camcorder. A system other than a hybrid camera.

[@clabart]

If you consider that the Panasonic AG-CX350 costs, in Italy, €3,000 while the Sony Z200 costs €4,500

[@sbozinovic]

@@clabart I've shot on cx350... it is not a good camera. Actually, I would never buy z200 (I'd rather get z280 even though it's quite older) but the variable nd (I've used it on z280 and fx9) probably itself worths those 1500 more... even with that ugh 2.8-4.5 two ring lens and even it cannot be worse than a cx350's lens.

Panasonic DVX 100 was a state of the art camcorder. James Longley filmed his documentary Iraq in Fragments with it. It had a Leica and the footage out of it was cinematic. I almost bought it. Vincent Laforet and Philip Bloom steered me away from it and other camcorders. I still went with camcorder style cine cams. Starting with Sony FS100, then 700, then FS7. Now I shoot Venice. Cannot tell you how much fun it is to have a 'proper' camera. Although, I love my A7s series:)

[@MyFriendlyPup]

I used a DVX100 and 100b in 2005. They were mini DV. Once the HVX200 from Panasonic came out with HD DIGITAL cards we never again used the DVX100. Ever, ever again. In 2005 we just.... stopped.

[@DavidGlasford]

My first "real" camcorder was a sony NEXVG10 which has a lame sensor but has interchangeable lenses. I then switched to mirrorless to get better specs. The biggest annoyance about my VG10 was it shot in 30p not 24p so that's why I got in the Sony mirrorless game.

[@billmakesmovies]

The VX2100 and DVX100B and GL2 all had magic in them that the newest camcorders just don't seem to have. Even the Canon HV40, an HDV soccer mom camera, had the magic. It was lost when we went full HD. My old XF100 kinda has it, usability wise at least, but the image isn't as great as I remember it being. I have been waiting for a Sony camcorder update, 4K 10 bit with S-Cinetone to match my FX6 and FX3, but the Z200 isn't it. The footage I have seen is just so noisy, noisier than my XF605, and that's saying something. I'll stick with the XF605 for now, even though it isn't a Sony like my other cameras, and hope that a Z280 update will at least have a less noisy image for ENG work. I'm also more interested in a Z90V / VX2100 sized camcorder, and also a Z280 sized camcorder, than I am a Z190 sided camcorder, so I don't know what that means for Sony, but I just don't love this new camera. Also the image looks kinda fake sometimes... if that makes any sense.

[@InventorAndCurious]

Camcorders are great for capturing live performances, religious services, and things that require smooth zooming where the top priority is capturing the event seamlessly; not so much for art or fun. They are utilitarian, and you can get good images. I have the ZV-E1 and the old C100Mkii somewhere in a drawer, but for a church service or a business presentation, my aging G60/XA55 fits the bill or any pro camcorder is the obvious pick if you don’t have multiple cams and Operators. Horses for courses! Now why camcorders haven’t been retooled to better compete with mirrorless; haven’t a clue. Seems you could have both if you have the pocketbook and can stand the weight and size of the lens for the focal ranges needed.

[@Cracky003]

I still don't get the equivalency stuff all the way, so f/2.8 on a 1" sensor only lets enough light in to compare to the exposure of f/7.1 of full frame, but then IRL my experience doesn't match that. The iso and shutter values don't really change, background blur does(but that's about perspective and distance to subject too), but the amount of light doesn't and I just end up lost. In fact I can often use lower ISO on my 1" compact than my Full Frame camera, because I can have the whole subject in focus at f/1.8 where on my full frame I have to stop down to f/3.5 or so.

[@cameraconspiracies]

We're talking about background blur.

If you worked as a cameraman for television, you would have a different opinion about this type of system cameras. Yesterday I had a live broadcast of a funeral of a well-known person from my country, if I didn't have a great zoom camera, I wouldn't have good details of something where I didn't have the opportunity to get closer, so cameras with a large zoom are very important for our work.

I think they use the high megapixel camera for the auto zoom crop feature. Pretty stupid they can't get AI to automatically use the zoom lens motors instead of digital crop to follow you around.

It completely depends on the type of work you do and the budget of the production. If you're a vlogger, a small mirrorless with a wide angle lens on a small gimbal is perfect. "Camcorder" types are perfect for news, sports broadcast, corporate conferences, sometimes documentary R&G... anything where you value the flexibility of a massive zoom range over the blurriest possible background, because you have to get the shot RIGHT NOW and you don't have 3 minutes to futz about switching lenses. I use camcorder types along with FX6's and an FX3. If the client has the budget, such as NFL or World Cup, then you can take cinema bodies and rig them on massive box lenses to get the best cinema quality along with the yuge zoom range, but most of us don't have $200,000 to spend on a single camera set up.

Multicam and tv production. Small venues, documentaries, corporate. Like, it ain’t a camera for youtubers. If you want bokeh, go longer, go wide open. Ya ain’t getting it at 24mm 🤷

[@csamd9049]

Your video quality in all videos is much worse than what video cameras with a 1-inch sensor can shoot

[@adamandyaz]

How do you decide which of your many cameras to take for these walk and talk videos?

[@somethingsomething7205]

Still can't beat the pxw-z280.

[@ledheavy26]

Yes, professional camcorders aren't good for holding at arms length for recording vlogs.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Nor do they outshine any mirrorless camera in any situation.

[@daviddrew7624]

​@@cameraconspiraciesthat's bull !

[@Tappits84]

So you saying a A6000 is better in every situation?

[@sbozinovic]

​@@cameraconspiracies Come on... I'm a tv cameraman and I have a mirrorless at home, not a camcorder, but "In any situation"... that's a bit extreme... and also not true.

[@cameraconspiracies]

@@sbozinovic Yawn. Maybe don't take that so literally... Obviously I could find a few scenarios where a terrible mirrorless camera might be worse. Even then, side by side most people would choose the crappy mirrorless with a fast lens.

[@colinhoward2200]

Fujifilm cameras with an 18-120 are almost camcorders.with an APS-C sensor.

[@olsonspeed]

Sony x3000, still waiting for the perfect action camera.

[@AndrewBassonZA]

camcorder with a long body, 12 MP full frame sensor that runs 4k using the extra MP for digital stab so you do not get random cropping from using that, if I had the money I would get them to make it

[@Fessoid]

13:47 How about FX-30 my friend? I need your expert evaluation.

[@mikepolaroid]

Hmmmm so hard to choose between Sony Z200 or Canon C80 😂

[@billmakesmovies]

Don't love the BOSS stabilization actually, it's not good either.

[@strain-tv]

canon camcorder r600 mic input, headphone out, threaded for 43mm filters but no cold shoe

[@Govinnu]

Only news channel crews use those Camcorders nowadays.

Why is my apple iphone SE3 so much worse at pictures than the original …. SE1

1:44 thought you were going to get robbed

[@smartti1970]

after 10 years of enjoying the slomo run accross the road, it's the first time i ever got bored 😆 ... still the best camera channel

[@krazywabbit]

Going to show my ignorance. Why not a 2 inch sensor. Or is 1 inch all we need to perform in…

[@JoeSzilagy]

I've looked at specs of other big, expensive camcorders and they all seen to have 1-inch sensors. There must be some logical reason, though I don't know enough about the tech side of those. I have to wonder though, if it has anything to do with the huge lenses that they use which would let in more light, maybe eliminating the need for a larger sensor? Just a guess.

[@50450720]

The price of camcorders are so high because they're only going to sell 2 of them.

[@coolbluerecharge]

LoL, I love the hate. This is a much needed broadcast industry camera. It's not for KZbin influencers.

[@chicojuanito2]

At 5:50 you are wearing a Hollister shirt. You are over 30 years old. this is unacceptable.

[@Squidpaws-]

It's 100% cotton. I think that makes it acceptable lol 😅

[@spanasik]

Which ND you used for this footage?

[@cameraconspiracies]

I don't use ND's I use these www.freewellgear.com/en/dji-osmo-pocket-3-nd-filters/1239-dji-osmo-pocket-3-lenses.html?affp=48480 (affiliate link)

[@spanasik]

So this footage was made without NDs, but exposure is perfect, is it -0.7 EV or smth like this? Dlog or standard? I like your results from pocket, can't achieve proper exposure every time, can you share domek secrets please?

[@spanasik]

Sorry for "domek", auto correction, should be "some"

[@cameraconspiracies]

@@spanasik Yes -0.7 EV D-log M, auto exposure.
