Hello, all.

I'm trying to find a good HD (not 4K) low-light camera to use alongside my GH4 & GH3 cameras for event shooting. These are my requirements:

  • Servo zoom lens for use with a LANC-type controller
  • Recording 1080p at 24p (23.976) is a must
  • Must be better than a GH4 with 35-100mm f/2.8 lens in low light
  • AVCHD is fine as far as codec
  • Can be a small sensor, 1/3" or 1/4" is fine (I don't need shallow depth of field with this camera)
  • Under $3000 if possible
  • Size of camera doesn't matter (shoulder mount or handheld is fine)

Any suggestions? I've found the Panasonic HMC80, which fits the bill in all my categories except apparently it's not good in low light. Is there any camera that can do what I'm asking?

Thanks in advance! :bath:
 
Have you considered that Sony one that's based off the fs100, the ea50?

I think that would fulfill most of your needs, would have to check the low light though
