Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a camera to record plane spotting videos from a relatively close distance (usually at the end or side of the runway). With that being said, it would be nice to have the option to zoom in a decent amount should I choose to shoot from afar. I know a little bit about cameras (even less about camcorders) in general but I am torn between getting a dedicated camcorder, or a mirrorless with good video specs.
My budget is up to £1500 for the camera, will spare another 600-700 for a lense if it's a mirrorless. I want to shoot in 4K and it would be nice to get 60fps but I'd be happy with 30. Will very occassionally be shooting in low light conditions so I'd want something that performs somewhat decent in that area. I will mostly be shooting airliners but will also use the camera at airshows, so will be capturing fast jets too.
Like I said, my knowledge is limited, so there are probably other factors I should be considering but unaware of. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can make a suggestion as to what camcorder or camera + lense I should buy.
One option I've been considering is the Sony RX10 IV, but I heard it doesn't perform well in low light and has poor image stabilisation.
If you need more info on anything else then please ask
Thanks
