I wonder what makes/types of camcorders/cameras people use to make their videos ?
My favourite of choice that I normally use is a Panasonic HC VXF990 4K that is very user friendly and fully adjustable (shame that the focus ring isn't in the conventional place !) but it is as good as any camcorder in that price range IMHO, also you can charge and run them off a STD phone charger or an external 5v power pack.
I also have a Sony FDR AX53 4K that I bought solely for the amazing stabilization that it has but isn't "totally fully" adjustable, there are "workarounds" that you can do but not "instant" like the Panasonic, however it does have a genuine focus ring in the "correct" place.
I still have 3 of the older Panasonic 900 series that I use for multi camera videos when filming things like musical groups, one of these is an HDC TM900 that has a built in 32gb hard drive as well as an SD card slot that I have had for years and all have given sterling service with no faults but are only 1080p HD. All of my films that I put on my YouTube site are rendered in 1080p but I use 4k for filming some videos so that I can "blow up" parts in post without loosing quality when finally rendered in HD.
I have though several times over the years about getting a more "professional" camcorder, but as I travel to Spain a lot and do a lot of walking around I need something that is more compact/light weight and can be put in a pocket if needs be, also I probably wouldn't use a lot of the facilities that they have.
