Hello Amazing People,


I have started a Youtube channel for Fitness and Food Videos. I have been shooting with my RedMi Note 3 which is above average and satisfies my needs. I wanna do it more professionally now. I need a camera which can record atleast 1hr of footage. The DSLR's can hardly cross 30 Minutes. I have looked at a range of Camcorders as well they miss detailing to a great extent. I can spend upto 40K for this setup. Any camera with Mic In is preferable.

The camera now in my mind is DMC-FZ300 Panasonic Lumix. This looks good on paper.

Also suggest me a good Mic.

Youtube Channel Link

Kind Regards.

suggest you to search about GoPro cameras.

they have great picture quality, and can record longer duration videos, support large capacity storage.
you'll need an add-on microphone.

But the problem with Gopros is that the view it gives.
I will get Gopro later. But looking at a proper full fledge camera now.

This is my channel why would i create another channel.

You have good enough budget to go for DSLR/MILC. If you find that they are complex for your purpose, you can go for 1" compacts from Canon, Sony. I don't think you would need that high zoom FZ300. Yeah, it's feature filled, but personally I find FZ300 is too expensive for a pinhead sensor camera.

Thanks mate. The reason behind considering that camera was to be Future ready. I know it tad expensive.
DSLR's have this 30 mins CAP. sometimes videos can exceed that limit. I will look into your suggestions as well

Not many people keep shooting for long time in one shot (professional or casual). Obviously, you will be taking many attempts/takes to shoot a few min (1-3 min) video.
Canon VIXIA HF R700 is a good buy for youtube videos ? I am looking for a camera which can shoot at least 1 hour of footage without heating.
I don't know about this particular model. Most of the affordable camcorders have the same small sensor probably even smaller.

Can we say Camcorder is also a dying breed along with compact cameras?

I believe it is the Canon 70D that rules the YouTube world, which is why Canon introduced powerzoom and even an external microphone for the 80D.

they have awesome picture quality, and can record longer term recordings, bolster huge limit stockpiling. you'll require an extra mouthpiece.
