buying a new camera

[Sarah Febbraro]

From my research I think the Panasonic Camcorder HC-V720 or the Panasonic AGAC 90 would be my best bet except the codec is not prores. This creates extra hassel for me when trying to edit in final cut pro. Does anyone know a camcorder that’s similar to the Panasonic Camcorder HC-V720 that has a pro res codec?

Not for what you’re looking to spend. But you can add an external recorder connected via HDMI to your setup which will capture in a ProRes format. Cost effective options:
Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle ($330): https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hyperdeckshuttle/
Atomost Ninja Star ($300): https://www.atomos.com/ninja-star/

I am still editing on FCP 7 and I have no issues bringing in the footage from my 90 using Log and Transfer. Works like a charm.
