Cheapest Mirrorless 4K Video Camera

We typically travel with a DSLR, a mirrorless 4K video camera, and one or two snapshot-type fixed lens cameras. Naturally, all take different batteries. With the Watson system (and it is a system) we only need one charger body (multi-voltage for international travel) and a small, thin adapter plate for each battery. Really cuts down on what you need to carry.

This camera is best for 4K video. Received it quickly

Fantastic Camera great 4K video

Often the cheapest way to clean up video issues.

Perfect size and weight for mirrorless camera video work.

I now have full 4K video on my 4k monitor.

After feeling like I had mastered my entry level DSLR, I started researching my options for an upgrade. During my search I came across the new mirrorless technology and was instantly intrigued. Having the functionality of a DSLR but with a much more lightweight and smaller body really appealed to me. The mirrorless technology was what originally got me interested, but the 4K photo and video are what finally sold me on this camera! That, and the intelligent auto feature. Although I know full and well how to shoot in manual, I find myself keeping it in intelligent auto mode because it takes such great photos (especially in low light situations). Combining the 4K photo and intelligent auto mode will guarantee that you get an awesome photo every time. It's perfect for capturing beautiful action shots of the dancers that I instruct and freezing those special moments when my 3 year old decides to chase after us with the garden hose. Those photos are priceless! *I received a Panasonic Lumix G7 camera. All opinions are my own.

This is an amazing camera. Easily the best mirrorless video camera on the market and with image quality to rival cameras like the EVA-1, C300 II, and FS7. It's a true cinema camera in a mirrorless form factor. Add in the best IBIS in the business (again, by a mile), great colors, superior low light, and fantastic usability and robustness, and you have a true winner. The only thing that isn't as great as the competition is autofocus - but, honestly, every time I've tried to use autofocus on a shoot, it has failed me at critical moments, so I don't trust it anyway. For photos, the AF is great. The fact that this camera has 10-bit 422 in 4k, 6k, anamorphic modes, and soon 5.9k ProRes Raw (and 4k ProRes Raw), is incredible. While Canon's latest releases are tempting (especially the C300 III and R5), the Panasonic S1H is the best bang for your buck camera on the market right now. And yes, it is $4k while competitors are $2k-$3k, but it's true competition is really $6-11k cinema cameras. It is that good. Oh! And you can have a double XLR module and it has timecode. And it's Netflix approved! It's an amazing camera. Buy it.

What can I say about this Mirrorless Cinema Camera that hasn't been said already, it shoots 4k FF 10 bit 4:2:2 internally, with prores 6k raw in a future update with the Ninja V. Shoots 5.9k!!! Cant stress enough how big of an advantage that is when it comes to resolution and the options when it comes to cropping and the likes. If you want to actually really future proof yourself, look no further than this camera.

I had been borrowing a Canon 5D Mark II but wanted a camera of my own. This was the cheapest while still having the features I wanted - and it's fantastic. Beautiful photos, stunning video. Controls very intuitive and easy. Only problem I've had with it for the past 3 weeks is that one day I was filming a video about baking cookies and it kept overheating and turning off. Don't know if this was because the kitchen was just too warm or if the camera couldn't handle about 3 straight hours of use; it had worked just fine the day before when I filmed on a snowy mountain (colder temp!).
