Video Camera Recommendations

  • Hello All!  I'm new to the forum, but a long time railfan.  I started out in the early-80s with an off-the-shelf Kodak camera, progressed through Minolta SLRs (X-570 and X-700), and currently railfan with a Nikon D80 DSLR.  I'd like to try my hand at some video work...any recommendations for a good video camera?  I'm flexible regarding format, video will be for personal use, and budget is "around" $1000-$1500.  Thanks in advance for any and all input!!

  • Canon HF-G10.   MSRP is right in the middle of your price range, full manual controls, instant auto-focus.  Beautiful picture with a wide dynamic range.

    Shot this with it last fall.

    Thanks a million for the recommendation.  BTW, that was fantastic work you did on the EBT!  I haven't been up there for a few years, and I heard that it didn't run this past summer.  Thanks for the memories!

    Stay Well!
