dawnomike:I have done that. And I can't rely on white people's review. I need a review from Nigeria. Some of them are paid to promote a certain camera. Also they are paid in dollars and can buy any camera even 50,000$ camera. Unlike us paid in naira which is a devalue 2 Likes |

For a 5% finder's fee I can connect you with a camera dealer based in Lagos who would not only recommend you the perfect camera but aid you in making a right choice of purchase. Deal? |

Phfetish:well done. You want to eat where you did not sow. Did I tell you I can't. Access Amazon? |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Phfetish(m): 4:01pm On May 02, 2020 |
Henrymorre: It's called finder's fee for a reason Sir. Say I link you with a credible seller who sorts your needs out and give you the exact spec that meets your requirements, does that count as reaping where I didn't sow? You only pay me 2.5% of your purchase and instruct the seller to pay me the the other 2.5%. in the end your buying the camera less 5% of it's total cost. 2 Likes |

Henrymorre: Sony Fuji Panny ....... Sony: Try the a7iii (might be above your budget. See the older a7rii and the lowlight beast a7sii. Both have terrible battery life. APS-C try the a6400 (lacks IBIS) See the a6300 or the more expensive a6500. Prices are seriously dropping due to the announcement of their respective replacements. Fuji Try the older XT2 Try the more affordable XT30 They're other cool and cheaper offerings from Fuji but I am afraid they may not meet your requirements. Panny: ............... The GH5 is above your budget . Try the Older GH4. ................. Not a huge fan of micro four thirds so I won't say much here. ........ The deal is to get a capable mirrorless camera and that's why all my recommendations are strictly mirrorless. Stay away from DSLR as they are just bunch of clumsy and slow video camera wannabes. ............ The guy asking for 5% is a potential scammer. If you need help with legit dealers, holla. ................ I believe your budget includes lenses? ............. Updating |

IAmSkinny:I need a full frame camera. I'm not a fan of micro thirty Abi fourth. Also I can get those camera for used at cheaper rate. Just qoute good camera for videos. I've made my pic Sony a7rii Sony a7rii And sony a7ii I need very good video and also camera for pix. Beast low light. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 7:46pm On May 03, 2020 |
Henrymorre: Updated |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 7:47pm On May 03, 2020 |
IAmSkinny:read above updated too |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 7:52pm On May 03, 2020 |
Henrymorre: Used deals. Hmmm The a7rii is very good in lowlight. I have seen a guy shooting comfortable with it at ISO 5000. ........ The a7sii is a very capable video machine too. Excellent lowlight capabilities. ...... These are the two finalists. For 450k, I am sure you can get a used one with kit lens. ........ The a7ii get as e be. I would not recommend it |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 8:07pm On May 03, 2020 |
IAmSkinny:I just checked that the lenses are very expensive. Upto 200k for some good lense. Bro odi too much. Is there any other camera that has cheap lenses? |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 8:16pm On May 03, 2020 |
Henrymorre: Fullframe lenses are generally expensive. Or would you rather go with a DSLR? Just get an affordable cropped body and spend the remaining money on lenses. Some modern APS-C bodies outshine older Fullframe cameras in IQ |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 8:18pm On May 03, 2020 |
IAmSkinny:maybe I am brain washed that full frame allows more light into the lense. Can you educate me on that. Also can I get a APC c lense with all the specs I want including image stabilisation |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 8:36pm On May 03, 2020 |
Henrymorre:That's not entirely true. Fullframe cameras have bigger sensor size (36mmx24mm) while APS-C cameras have relatively smaller sensor sizes (24mmx18mm not too sure). ............... In photography, a bigger sensor produces better image quality and better lowlight performance than smaller sensors. But since your target is vídeo, this is highly negligeable as in video, only a small portion of the sensor is used for capturing video unlike photography. ........... Due to the advancement in tech, APS-C sensors have proven their capabilities over and over again in lowlight. Some APS-C cameras have the same spec and features of professional Fullframe cameras at a lower price point. ..................... All the cameras I recommended have in-body image stabilisation, including the APS-C's so they should serve you very well in lowlight. Get a very good APS-C body and thank me later |

IAmSkinny: Wonderful suggestion and analysis. I've been following you guys' conversation. You seems to have a wider-ranging knowledge of cameras. Now I have a question. Would you recommend a Sony Alpha 6000 in 2020? I am thinking of going for it since it would be my first professional camera. My reasons for the choice are: — Affordability — Portability — Versatility (Decent mix of video + photo capability) — Insane Autofocus — Great real user reviews — And more... Although, the battery life is poor and it doesn't come fitted with microphone port. Significantly, what do you think about this choice? Would you recommend an alternative? I'm kinda neglecting DSLRs due to their poor video implementation. At this point, your input would greatly be appreciated. Thank you. ![]() |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 9:46pm On May 03, 2020 |
IAmSkinny:okay. One more question. Between Sony, Nikon, canon which do you think is better, much cheaper lense with everything I want and good for videos only? |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 9:59pm On May 03, 2020 |
CornOak:I see you did an extensive research on the the a6000. The a6000 is actually a wonderful camera TBH but like you already know, it lacks mic and headphone jacks which is a huge turn off for me. Budget wise, it's a steal for most of features you get. I would have recommended the a6300 but it maybe above your budget. Have you seen the new a6100? .......... If you are on a tight budget and audio quality is not a priority, please get the a6000 by all means. It's still a champ even after six years. Alternatively, You can get an external recorder like the zoom H1 later on .......... I figured out that budget is a thing so why don't you check Canon entry level DSLR like the 700D? It's within the range of the a6000 but with clumsy video implementation like you already know. You get a mic jack with this though ........... The deal here is budget and the a6000 is a budget champ |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 10:09pm On May 03, 2020 |
Henrymorre: Nikon and Canon actually have loads of cheap third party lenses from the 90s. Sony has a lot of third party options too but albeit a bit more expensive. Sony and Fuji beat Canikon (DSLR) silly when it comes to video. ..... See, there is no perfect camera out there. Cameras out there are just a bunch of compromise between money, features and speed. You need to find what really works for you, your budget and make the ultimate compromise. You can't have a camera that does everything you want. 1 Like 1 Share |

IAmSkinny: Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I've been the A6100, but the price is double the price of A6000 with just a few improvements - nothing extraordinary. I plan on getting better lenses with image stabilizing, ND/PL filters to improve output quality. But I'm still lost on the alternative solution for the lack of mic/headphone jack. Nonetheless, I'll check out the 700D you suggested. Thank you again. ![]() |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 12:26am On May 04, 2020 |
CornOak: I mentioned the zoom H1. It's an affordable external recorder. You should check out that alternative too. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by CornOak(m): 4:00am On May 04, 2020 |
IAmSkinny: Oh, I'll do that. Thank you. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 8:15pm On May 04, 2020 |
Okay. So I just figured out that, spending so much for a high end camera doesn't really matter. Since I make movies my order of preference has been Good story Good Audio Good visual effects Then good image. With all these I have made my mind to buy a very cheap camera, and just invest the rest on the lense and rig it up. With all said, I have decided to settle with the Lumix g85. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 11:29pm On May 06, 2020 |
CornOak:Hey bro, somebody's got a very clean a6000 for 130k with kit lens. If you interested, holla at me. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by CornOak(m): 11:45pm On May 06, 2020 |
IAmSkinny: Thank you boss. |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by Nobody: 12:10pm On May 07, 2020 |
Thanks to everyone and IamSkinny. I finally got a Sony A7iii with sigma lense. Now I want to buy some rigs so I can rig it up. I want to look very professional so I can really get clients |
Re: I Have 450k For Camera. Video Is Only My Main Concern by IAmSkinny: 9:42pm On May 07, 2020 |
Henrymorre: Guy you be MVP. How much did you get the body and lens. God when oo |
