Best Semi Professional Camera Under 500

THIS IS A GREAT BUY!!!!BEST MIC YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER 500!!!...WILL BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN VERY SOON!!@@!!!! JW

Semi Professional. Great for Macro Photography.

I am a semi professional photographer who has developed tremors in both hands. Hand held shots were becoming very difficult. The Steady Shot is exactly what I needed to take shots without camera shake. In addition it takes the weight of a professional camera and heavy lens off my neck and back. The set up was a little confusing but I just love it. I would make sure to order the quick release plate and a quick release adaptor. Very well made. Excellent quality. Cotton Carrier Customer Service has been great.

Semi-pro and professional videographers buy our lights for all sorts of productions. When they buy our product, they look for an LED light that's easy to carry around for travel, is cool to the touch, and is bright, color-accurate, and produces plenty of light output. This light in particular is an on-camera light, meant to be attached to your camera hot shoe mount for very portable shooting. This is a daylight model with a consistent color temperature of 5600 Kelvins for natural looking light that does not dip or fade.

I bought this mic as an on camera shotgun and loved it. I use it on a Sony HDR- AX2000. I'm a semi-professional videographer and I shoot a lot of shorts, high school/minor league sports, and corporate interviews. The audio quality was clean and the mic even performed well as a boom on a few shoots because the mic had great range. It compact so it's great on the camera, it never gets in the shot like longer models. Make sure to use the rubber spacing rings that come with the mic to get a snug fit in the camera's mic shoe because this mic is narrow. Also know that the mic requires phantom power (Must be used off an XLR straight out of the camera) I'll only owned the mic for a few months so I can only hope it will last over time but so far so good. It is a great mic for a semi-professional/professional on a bugdet.

I needed a compact, semi-professional camera for a recent trip, and the Lumix DMC-ZS100 met all of my requirements. One feature that I personally found particularly useful was the electronic view-finder. While not the most robust camera that I have owned, it is well made, with excellent fit and finish.

This is the perfect every-day walk-around camera for semi professional or enthusiast like me. Over all it fit the role I wanted it for. My set-up is Sony A6000 f4/ 16-70 Zeiss Lens 998.00 cost moore than camera. This lens very sharp, it takes much better pictures compared to kit lens. I used side by side Canon 6D $dollars camera with prime 24-105 lens, Sony has the edge. Canon lost its bang. I do not want to carry heavy camera when I travel. Sony gets my vote for its innovations. Thank you B@H FOR YOUR PERSONAL PERFORMANCE AND HELP.

I can pack my Z6ii with a 200-500 all day no problem. Best camera strap ever.

Under $5, how could you go wrong? Thank You!

I am a professional videographer using a compact video camera for some shoots. I tried the Manfrotto 500 before deciding on the 502. I found the 500 to be a little light for my camera but the 502 is ideal. I also appreciate the adjustable pan & tilt drag as well as the counter balance spring. This head performs as well on my smaller camera as the larger more expensive Sachtler does for my ENG camera.
