Affordable Large Sensor Camcorders JVC LS300 Panasonic AF100 Canon C100 Sony VG900 VG30 FS5ii

[Music] alright the pinnacle of my camcorder series interchangeable lens cameras with large sensors we are now entering the doorway of professional cinematography this is the entry-level now I know you're looking at this stuff and you're going now that must be nice it's expensive I can't afford that well that's what this video is for not only are a lot of these really affordable the same price as a DSLR camera but I'm gonna be giving four of them away cuz I want to make it possible for you to enter the world of cinematography and camcorders now why camcorders everybody's using gh 5s and a 7s and all that stuff like that well there are some benefits like I know for example like here here sighs alright people say that smaller it's more practical I get that and I do use DSLRs occasionally for video a lot of times and like here here's the world's smallest micro four-thirds interchangeable lens you can take video with this thing this is great so GM wanna and I do use it sometimes for taking video for travelling tourists that's great but now this is what I you should ask yourself do you take mainly pictures and occasional videos or do you take mainly video and occasional pictures because that's what's going to decide you should get a DSLR or video camera because if you're serious about video if you're doing lots of video and you plan on shooting video for hours and hours on end seriously look into these things because here's the thing the big difference between DSLRs and video cameras DSLR originally designed even their shape is made for picture taking it are flat on the back you hold up in your hand and go like this and they're small and that's what people like about them but the problem is the bigger the sensor the more heat it generates when it creates video if you try to run one of the big sensor DSLRs for a long time they're gonna overheat now I know some people are going to say yeah but my DSLR can run for hours no problem come out here to Las Vegas when it's 110 120 degrees outside and I dare you to shoot for 4 hours straight in the Blazing Sun it's it's going to overheat I don't care what camera you have these things are made for that these things are video cameras they're designed for that they're bigger so they can dissipate the heat more and their functions and their ergonomic sar made for video just the shape and the the way they work they're just so much easier to use for video another thing that's great about these cameras is and you cannot do with DSLRs is the battery that comes in the back of these things like here let's look at this okay this is the battery it uses but you can also put this battery in the same camera you can't do that with a DSLR this battery will run for six hours and it'll fit in the same see that camcorders haven't opened back to put the battery in so you can stick a battery out that's like a foot long and you can't do that with DSLRs some of these are the same price as DSLRs they just have a lot more functionality and dependability and ease of use then DSLRs do and here's something else that I really hate about using DSLR for video versus these things I'm sure everybody's experienced this at some point so you set up your shot perfectly the composition the exposure everything is set perfectly you push the video record button and suddenly a crops in and the exposure changes these things the video cameras camcorders what you see is what you get nothing changes the exposure doesn't change the cropping doesn't change it doesn't suddenly zoom in and use part of the sensor that wasn't show before anyway that's something I really frustrated plus these things are ergonomically made for shooting video like DSLR got to get behind them because they're made for still pictures this is what the body is designed for for you to go like this these things are made for holding like this and you got your little screen on the side here and it's just made for video it's just it's like a little gun that you aim at what you're shooting and it flips around to obviously they're trying to make DSLR is to do that but it's these things are made for video anyway so here's the cameras that we have when you strip down the monitors and the handles and the grips and the microphones and all the crap that goes around it you can even take the handle off you can even take the grip on them so really what you have left wait and then you can take that off it's just a box that's all it is here's a steel camera lens and you mount it on here and that's your basic setup you can shoot video with this you don't need all the bells fancy bells and whistles you just shoot your video and I mean this isn't that much bigger then a DSLR it's not that much bigger and it's made for video so a few basics about camcorders almost none of them have a really high quality flip screen you almost always have to use an external monitor to stick on there I mean I think that's ridiculous you spent all the money getting this camera and then the flippy screen is a little cheap though thinks they got to get this big monitors stick on top so now you've got this this is getting ridiculous why don't they just make a really good quality screen that comes with the camera somehow to do this all cameras have an SD card that you can record onto that's inside the camera a lot of times it's not really that great quality two of these cameras actually have really good quality SD recordings that you can just use you don't need anything externally some of them you do need something externally in which case the monitors are the recording devices here's a starting level one this is my Blackmagic this acts records onto an SD card I like the ones that record onto a SSD drive SSD stands for solid state drive this one is an ad most ninja it's really small little screen good quality screen SD Drive and your battery and that goes on top of your camera this one's an outermost ninja it's small this is for HDMI if you have SDI outputs here's a Shogun at most Shogun it has SDI inputs and HDMI inputs that got your battery and your SD Drive now let's say you just recorded something onto here you just go to your computer you get this thing here this plugs into your computer your drive just goes right onto there and it shows right up instantly on your computer as an external hard drive and it transfers very quickly I really like these one thing I don't like about a couple of these is the way the buttons are laid out you have the buttons in the front here these are important buttons and you can't see them or reach them because this thing is in the way they should have the buttons on the back everything should be on the back because if I'm filming and I have to change something like white balance or shutter speed holding after like look up here in front of this thing to get to these I hate that this camera has the same thing it has iris gain and shutter speed up front and I can't see that if I have the screen here I wish they were all back here this is the full-frame version of the Canon this Sony NEX the Micra the aps-c version has that all the buttons are in the back the iris the shutter speed the white balance it's all back here nothing's up here which I like so they fixed that one anyway so these are the smallest most lightweight ones and they grip really well when you're traveling I mean this is not that big it's really not that much bigger this is the full-frame camera this is a full-frame still camera they're not that much bigger really and here's the aps-c version aps-c 6300 aps-c bg-30 not that much really this not radically different in size and here's something that all these things have that I really love that DSLRs don't check this out there is the sensor and here's a knob when I turn this knob there goes the ND filters you got Andy deal filters built right in so you can go outside in the hot Sun and instantly you don't have to screw filters on the front of your lens or anything that's great all these cameras have ND filters that are really easy to get to you don't have to go to a menu and search for something it's just a knob on the front I really like that they have white balance just click a button you have white balance right away they all come with a handle with a microphone on it which is really you got your XLR inputs here you got your controls here you got your microphone here you got your handles so you can pick it up but I never use these first thing I do is I take the handle off because I don't use these it just adds shape and size to it I never use XLR inputs or the microphone I always record my audio separate break this better quality right now I have a microphone on me and the recorders in my pocket no wireless microphones no cords nothing and that way the camera is doing its job and the audio is doing its job it's not that hard to think of it so these things are just a big bulky thing I always take those off all right so let's just get going on the camcorder stuff here I'm going to show you footage of what each one does and you decide for yourself what's might be good for you and here we go all right so let's start with this this one's here these are the smallest interchangeable-lens large sensor camcorders you can get they don't make them anymore it's a Sony NEX line sony e-mount on their built-in stereo microphone another cool thing about this is it has a two hot shoes a cold shoe and a hot shoe and this is for actually taking flash photography this is actually a really good still photography camera for taking flash pictures here's some examples of them high res 6000 by 4000 pictures this camera has shutter speeds up to 110 thousandth of a second that's faster than that GH five-inch Sony a7 3 it's amazing you can put a flash on here or a flash trigger like this godox flash trigger so now you can trigger strobes and flashes with this camera so here's some footage shot with this camera alright so let's start right off with the full-frame one the Sony NEX VG 900 you can get them used for like nine hundred bucks and I think there's still a few new ones available somewhere for like three thousand dollars but don't get those I'll get to that in a minute this is actually a really good still camera but something strange happens when you switch over to video mode look at this when you switch from picture to video mode it crops in and it's not that sharp looking I read somewhere online I don't know if it's true or not that it only uses every other line so it's half resolution if you like blurry backgrounds you don't care too much about having a super sharp video then maybe you'll like this camera it's the smallest of the bunch it's the easiest to use by carrying around town it's the best you can change lens right now I've got a sony 85 1.8 baddest lens alright just as an experiment I put an aps-c lens on here this is a sigma 56 1.4 to see if there is some vignetting because full-frame sensors should vignette when you put an aps-c lens on there and it does okay this is the 24 millimeter full-frame 1.4 for those of you bloggers who like to have the camera really close to you with a wide-angle lens I personally don't like that because it distorts my face I like to have the camera further back more telephoto II but anyway this is what it looks like and I also and this is what it sounds like when you're using the stereo mic that's built into the top of the camera into the handle this is what that sounds like and the screen flips around the flippy screen flips around so you can touch your face for spot focus you can see the level meters you can adjust anything on here which is really cool and of course if you're out there in the world blogging you're probably not gonna want to use an external recording source so right now I'm recording on an SD card inside the camera if you want to record externally this is what that looks like via HDMI cable to an SSD hard drive externally there make them kind of small no like the outer most and then just pretty small that's what this is I'm using since this is a Sony full frame lens mount I'm using a Zeiss 85 1.8 baptists lens and this is what it looks like cuz it's a good portrait lens Canon 85 1.2 with an adapter ok now we're having some fun I put a big giant honkin Sigma 105 1.4 you don't mount the lens to this camera you mount the camera to the lens it's such a small lightweight camera and this big giant heavy lens look at that that's that background is amazing again it's the Sony full-frame email so you can put any full-frame email lens on here or with an adapter you can put any lens on here but this Sigma 105 Wow I mean just so cool so if you don't really care about having a sharp picture but you like a blurry background this might be your camera but let's switch over the aps-c version of this camera because I think that's a better one okay this is the aps-c version of the same camera the Sony NEX pg-13 as an aps-c sensor instead of full-frame but I think this one is sharper I think this utilizes the full aps-c frame whereas the full frame doesn't utilize the full frame let's switch back and forth this is the full frame and this is the aps-c this is the full frame and this is the aps-c version I don't know I like the aps-c better I just get a better feeling from this camera it's the same camera it's just more lightweight the buttons are laid out differently it doesn't have the big bulge on the front for the bigger sensor I think overall a more usable camera I'm gonna keep this one this one is something that I just like to have around I love the size and look at the look you can get I mean it's not the sharpest of all these cameras but it's sharp enough and I like the look look at that Batman again this is the 105 it's the big giant lens so let's switch lenses let's see more normal lenses on this this is a full frame size 85 1.8 baddest lens one of the benefits of having an aps-c camera you can put full-frame lenses on it no problem it makes them a little bit more telephoto but the background is actually a little bit blurrier which is great for portrait stuff like what I'm doing so that's what this is this is a Zeiss 85 1.8 this is a sigma 56 1.4 I think this is the perfect lens for this camera because it's a small lens and it's a small camera and you can carry this around town no problem it's small it's not very obtrusive it's lightweight and it's just this wonderful little package they have that's not big heavy lens big heavy camera or anything like that so anyway I like this lens with this camera I think that's a good pairing Sigma 56 1.4 it's an aps-c lens on an aps-c camera made for each other and if you're a Canon person you can still use this camera this is the Canon 85 1.2 on this camera because thanks to the world of adapters you can put anything on anything so this is a canon lens on a sony video camera this is the VG 30 with the big 105 1.4 Sigma on it pretty cool with a canon 85 on it set at F 1.4 this is interesting it's a Canon cine lens an 85 T 1.3 on the VG 30 so I mean it's still a kind of a stubby short little lens which works with this small little camera these are the coolest looking camcorders or the perfect size and shape I wish they would have kept going with these I like the VG 30 better than the VG 900 okay moving on to the next one this is the awkward looking one this is the Panasonic AF 100 it's micro four-thirds this is with a sigma 56 1.4 set at 1.4 and this is with a little Olympus 75 millimeter 1.8 42.5 1.2 lumix set at 1.4 and here's the canon lens obviously with adapters you can put anything on anything so just for fun I'm using a cine lens a big 85 T 1.3 this is cool so you can get them used for $700 and Walmart has them for sale on their website brand new still for $2,200 I didn't even know you could still get this camera it's a good camera it actually works really well it's lightweight it's kind of big and bulky and awkward looking but it works really well as a camcorder its micro four-thirds has a micro 4/3 sensor and lens mount keep in mind everything I'm showing you so far is not 4k I know a lot you're gonna ask this is 4k I mean come on I'm showing you affordable camcorders that have removable lenses and large sensors now the last two I'm going to show you do have 4k but the first four aren't again I'm trying to show you a fordable removable lens large sensor camcorders so anyway back to this one right now on here you're seeing this being recorded on an SD internal card which is pretty good and here we are seeing it externally via SDI cable yes it has SDI out into a external SSD hard drive so yeah this thing has HDMI SDI this is like a more serious camcorder as a back when it came out it was aimed more serious camcorder ring and here's some low-light tests this thing is endless ways to customize your own picture profiles and gamma settings like synchro scan speed detail level detail coring chroma level chroma phase ACH and bch color temperature master pedestal DRS dynamic range stretcher gamma knee matrix skin tone detail auto tracking white function with a TW lock I mean it just goes on and on the things you could adjust on this camera and for the big size that this camera is it's actually quite lightweight so it's it's not that like uncomfortable to take around with you all these cameras they can work an autofocus quite well they recognize faces and they focused on the face so this is the Olympus 75 1.8 great portrait lens nice blurry background very small okay and no video like this would be complete without of course the Canon c100 that's what this is it's so glad to see one hundred mark 2:27 hundred dollars they still make it they still sell it because it's so good the c300 the newer version is seventy-five hundred dollars but it's the same sensor so I suggest this get the c100 mark to that's what this is what you're seeing right now is recording internally on an SD card and what you're seeing right now is recording externally on an SSD hard drive via HDMI cable this is one of those cameras where the recording quality is so good you don't need an external recording source I just use the card vs little SD card coming right out of the camera which is great I mean it's good for me this is a small camera it's really great right now I'm using a cine lens to cine 85 T 1.3 any Canon lens EF lens will fit on this thing it's great so this is a great camera to use this is the Canon c100 with the big Canon cine lens on it an 85 seda F 1.4 this is the Canon 85 1.2 still camera lens pretty much any lands you put on his camera looks great alright on to the next camera this is the camera that nobody's ever heard of but should know about the jb CLS 300 it is the most affordable professional camcorder that you can get interchangeable lens large sensor that's the same price as a good DSLR it's like $2,000 brand new out of the box super 35 sensor which is basically aps-c in camera terms the lens mount is micro 4/3 so you can amount pretty much endless amount of lenses on there cuz micro 4/3 adapts to everything right now it's recording Apple ProRes 4 to 2 into an internal SD card and now it's recording externally via HDMI cable into an SSD hard drive since this is a Micro Four Thirds lens mount right now it's sporting a Lumix 42.5 1.2 set of 1.4 and now it has the sigma 56 1.4 I like this lens much more is it's half the price half the size really small really portable this is actually a great lens to put on this camera because it is so small I have Sigma 56 is 1.4 s with my Micro Four Thirds my Canon my Sony I have three of these because they're just so great so small nice-looking background great lens to have here's another great small Micro Four Thirds lens it's really small but it's a great portrait lens it's the olympus 75 1.8 and this is what it looks like I like this lens a lot it's really small and it travels well so I think this and the 56 1.4 Sigma are great small lenses to have when you're doing this kind of stuff talking heads yeah and since you can adapt to any lens in the world to this camera right now I have a Canon cine lens 85 T 1.3 look at that background you can put any lens you want on here if you have an adapter for it but Micro Four Thirds has adapters for everything so this is a great look at his lens Wow and this is the JVC LS 300 with a Rokinon 85mm the shoots an ultra HD 4k 4 to 2 it has SDI and HDMI output as an ND filter wheel variable shutter speed it can simultaneously record in two different definitions and you can even edit your video directly in the camera with fades dissolves titles and then stream it wirelessly directly from the camera to YouTube so this is the JVC LS 304 the money super 35 sensor interchangeable lens two thousand dollars brand-new it's amazing right now it's using a Rokinon 85mm this is a Lumix 42.5 sigma 56 1.4 olympus 75 millimeter 1.8 Rokinon 85mm v Allwright that's the JVC LS 300 let's move up to the last one alright the most expensive one of the bunch the sony FS v mark 240 $700 right now it's sporting of fujinon 50 to 135 $3,700 this is for me the best most professional easiest to use dependable camera out of all of these I just love this one it's just so well laid out so smartly put together and the quality is just it's great what you're seeing right now is being recorded internally on an SD card and now what you're seeing is being recorded externally on an SSD hard drive via SDI cable let's go back to that SD card again BAM look at that hardly any difference on the SD card this camera records quality so amazingly with such good quality that you'll probably never need to record anything externally on an external source this camera is so good look at some of the stuff I've shot with this camera so far look at this it has such an amazing look it looks so professional and this is such a dependable camera no matter what you throw at this thing this camera gives you professional quality it's real easy to use is really well laid out everything about it it's awesome so out of all these cameras I have this one is my favorite the one that I go to that's most dependable it's got the most professional quality it's the one that I turn it on I know it's going to look great it's going to work great I always expensive four and a half thousand dollars but if you do a lot of video stuff and you're serious about video and you're doing a lot of it I highly suggest you look at this camera because it is the most up to date out of all these cameras it's the one that has the most everything and it's just I mean I'm not being technical here I'm you're saying that you know if I have I can't think I just got to grab something real quick and use it this is the one I grab it's a super 35 sensor with a sony e-mount lens mount so you can use any Sony lens or even with an adapter you can use anything like for example a Canon 85 with an adapter this is a Canon 85 1.2 set at 1.4 or a consumer lens like this Sigma 56 1.4 super 35 is basically aps-c so yeah you can use your aps-c lenses suit or a big giant cine lens of course like this Canon 85 T 1.3 this camera was made for stuff like this the handle has multiple positions so you can click it in different positions depending on how you like to hold it and it has built-in buttons here as a menu joystick for a menu function control buttons and up here it also has what a focus magnification so you click that button and whatever it is you're looking at gets really close so you can focus it critically which I really like great depth of field with this camera even though this lens is only 2.9 I mean look at this look at the background 2.9 still works really well with this lens in this camera because it has a large sensor super 35 aps-c and tell the photos and a large sensor equals nice look like this I look like I'm walking through Central Park but I'm actually in my living room and the camera is actually not even that big it's actually smaller and more lightweight than even the Canon c100 it's when you put all the bells and whistles and the big lenses and the monitors and everything on there that's when it looks big but the thing itself is actually pretty small and lightweight it's just so good a sony FS 5 mark 2 it's like four and a half thousand dollars but it's worth it alright so that brings us to the part of the video that I think a lot of you are waiting for and that's the giveaway part now I hope you're not watching my videos just for the giveaways I mean I hope you're actually getting more out of the videos and that that you're actually enjoying the
