Semi Professional Video Camera Reviews

I am trying to get setup for semi-professional video creation and wanted to generate good quality audio. After watching a lot of mic reviews, I decided to order a pair of the Samson C02 mics. While these are sold as instrument (drums, acoustic guitar, etc) many people have given them favorable reviews for dialog and even live action. Having received mine, I have done a number of tests both for inside dialog as well as taking them outside to check their sensitivity with ambient sound. I am using a Sound Devices mixer so the whole sound chain is pretty quiet, and I did not hear very much self-noise from these mics while they were able to pick up very faint sounds outdoor such as leaves rustling and birds chirping. They are somewhat directional but certainly not in the same way as a proper shotgun mic. All in all I am very glad I purchased these and I expect them to be with me for a good while.

Micro four thirds is great for on the go shoots and semi professional needs. The video at 4k is great and it works well with adapters for other types of lenses. Do recommend.

Using for editing semi professional video. Great for getting all the way to the point where you're ready to hear your mix through a pair of reference monitors.

I decided to buy this prompter package for my semi-professional online video project. So far I have been really lucky. The teleprompter is stable and has all inputs I need to attach my components. Therefore it is also highly versatile and simple-to-use with almost all cameras (the prompter is used by my whole team). Moreover, it includes a pretty decent software that makes it even more easier to start and revise my own scripts. Different settings aren't a problem either as this lightweight is very transportable and the 60/40 positioning of the beamsplitter glass ensures that the prompter can display scrolling text from 15-17 feet away. If you are looking for an affordable teleprompter for semi-pro and professional I'd highly recommend this MagiCue package!

Semi Professional. Great for Macro Photography.

This camera is perfect for professional photos and video.

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.
