Peter, the Nikon d3300 is an excellent camera however it is over priced for what you are looking for and far from the best for the money. Take a closer look at Panasonic and Sony offerings. Both brands have much better video support on their cameras and have the ability to use almost any lens...

All three cameras are interesting indeed. The A7R II could cause problems for both Canon and Nikon in that it supports PDAF for third party lenses... i.e. it should be able to Autofocus Canon Lenses well using an adapter with electronic contacts. That means people that have lots of Canon...

The a6000 is a great camera, however there are a few things that make it expensive... -Build quality is higher than the a5xxx series and the NEX series <<< it's nice but not necessary -AF speed is fast and has up to 11fps with continuous focus!! <<< You do not need this -EVF <<< this is a very...

Almost any camera will do including a cellphone for what you are doing. Most important will be for you to buy a few video lights and stands with soft boxes. The reason is that if you are showcasing something, you want as much detail as possible and in order to do this you need to shoot at an...

If $1000 is body only, you have quite a few options and I think you covered all the good ones. The ones that will give you the best IQ are the A7S and GH4 (both over your budget). Under this, they are all pretty similar and it is a matter of features you are looking for and look. The BMPCC is...

The blackmagic pocket is a great camera, however it adds that longer workflow and hardware requirement of shooting large file. I think the AF concern is a concern because you are new to this. The GH3 & GH4 AF is rather good provided you have good light for the camera to be able to actually see...

Canon and Nikon are probably the worst choices for Photo cameras used as video currently. Ever since the GH2 came out, the game changed. Your best cameras are the Panasonic GH4 and Sony A7S. Either can use Canon lenses with a cheap $20 - $35 adapter, however Canon lenses being electronic...

Any camera will do. Don't waste your money on a DSLR. Advantage of DSLR is the ability to use expensive lenses to get a shallow depth of field like hollywood without having to spend insane amounts of money. If you are worried about a messy room or something, just use a backdrop or use...

I do not know of any off hand, but you are better off stopping the recording rather than pausing. Pausing may not finalize the file, so if something happens to the memory card or the batter dies or something, your whole video may be lost! Just stop recording when you want to take a break and...

What is this going to be used for? What is your budget? My guess is a GoPro 4 since that does everything you want except RAW. You are limited to what you can do, but it is rather cheap. I think you probably do not need RAW. If you are on a budget for the camera, you will spend many times...

It looks like your budget is around $1000... I wonder if a better approach would be a GH3 + Metabones Nikon Speed Booster. That will have advantages over the 60D & 70D. That should run about $1000 and will have many advantages over APS-C Canons. I personally use a GH4 and A7S. Both have...

I would say a used laptop with GTX 580m (may be around $500), but that has the potential to be abused and have a shorter life. Maybe a laptop with an AMD APU?

What do you consider heavy editing? Which software do you use? I bought a Lenovo y580 a couple years back (approx $800) with an i7 3610qm and GTX660m and it edits well, but not as good as my old Q6600 w/ GTX 580. Rendering was identical on both machines. Keep in mind that when editing, the...
