Top 4K Mirrorless 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.

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 am using this as an audio bag for field recording, as well as occasional mirrorless camera duty. I tried several messenger-style bags from Manfrotto and others but this and it's smaller sibling 36M really stood out. (See my pix for size comparison - I got both and returned the smaller one.) It's pretty big but nicely balanced. The killer feature is the lower compartment: I like how messenger bags keep the weight close to my body, but that makes them tall and skinny so things get buried in the bottom. With this bag I can keep the primary gear accessible on the top shelf and still have easy access to bottom via the lower door. I put my MixPre-6 audio recorder on top (with right-angle XLR connectors) and have room for cables, headphones, and a small mirrorless camera on the top shelf. I keep my mic + pistol grip underneath, along with a backup recorder and several small microphones. The rain-cover is great, the strap is nicely padded and adjustable, and you can rig the front buckles to hold a tripod or stand. The lid can flip back and stay out of the way, or you can reach through a zippered slot to grab things. The top of the bag zippers shut so you can safely stow it sideways during airline/car travel without little things falling out of pockets. It's basically perfect!

This fits a mirrorless camera perfectly with plenty of space for extra batteries and cards, too. The top opens away from you so it's much easier to get to your camera which is very smart. It also feels pretty tough.

I recently got this bag for free with my mirrorless camera and it's amazing. I am a huge fan of anything that Think Tank makes and this is right up there with the top of the line. It has a ton of pockets for organization, sturdy velcro closure, great comfortable strap, removable dividers on the inside, and so much more! No to mention is doesn't look like a camera bag.

I have received the kit and I am very impressed. I have not really used it yet but it is set up and ready to shoot. The kit was more expensive than I wanted to pay for a camera but it is something I will not outgrow. I bought it for travel and when I travel I want a camera that will not fail me. In the past a camera died on me and for my trip I had no camera and another time I was caught in the rain and was stuck in a shack waiting for the rain to stop. Never Again. This camera and setup has everything I need and want. In addition, the reviews in all the magazines rate this model highly. I went with mirrorless because that is the present and future. Canon is top of the line in mirrorless. Lastly, B&H is top of the line for me. I have bought equipment from them for over 20 years. Free shipping and no tax is the icing on the cake!

My dad has a FDR AX100 Sony 4K camera and the shoe on top is not standard and I wanted to attach this to a tripod or run and gun with it. Work perfectly. No complaints at all with the product, did exactly what I wanted. Now is Sony could have been smarter make a shoe that was universal that is a different issue.

I've been waiting for this camera for a long time!! And BMD delivers. It's a dslr sized 4k cinema camera with BMD color science (which is darn close to an Arri Alexa). The button layout is awesome and being able to program the top buttons is a nice feature. Battery life is ok for powering a 5" screen and recording raw 4k. (Around 45 min of normal use). Easily grades and matches with my URSA Mini Pro 4.6k. The low light 3200 iso is also pretty awesome. I love this little camera. But it's not perfect, But almost. What I wish: -Better dynamic range. But I can live with it. -I wish the screen tilted just a bit. Some times when getting Low with the camera can be annoying. I can't just lean over I have to lay down or put an external monitor on. -really wish they put mini sdi port in. Like their 5" monitor or 4k micro camera. My other camera is an URSA Mini Pro 4.6k. All my stuff is sdi..... -You'll want a top handle for this guy. Other than that this camera should kill all the DSLRs out there. Oh yeah and on top you get a full resolve license. Thanks BMD!!!
