Exactly our position. We need to look like a tourist sometimes, and need a camera to use in tight scenarios.
Check out the Panasonic tm700k. It just came out like this month, and has gotten some really great reviews. 1080p, good in low light, small, weighs less than a pound. The version with the hard drive is $400 more, but i dont think it’s worth it. I’d rather not have to hook up the camera to the computer every time anyway.
It is avchd, but I’ll convert it to prores before editing.
I don’t have one yet, but will make the purchase today.
