camera question (video)

Post by aleopardstail »

looking for camera recommendations, this is for "secondary cameras" for the you tube channel, ideally.

- not too expensive, sub £100 ideally but not the cheapest chinesium landfill
- adjustable or reasonably narrow field of vision
- auto focus ideally to the centre of the field of vision
- battery & SD card operation, not USB lead or Wifi streaming (though streaming would be nice just not the only way of working it)
- screen to aid in setting up

- resolution is less important, 1080p with a good frame rate is fine if the field of view means it doesn't need to be cropped and zoomed later, the ones that "upscale" to claim 4k are out

have heard some drone camera things are ok, may need wifi to set them up but recording locally or good quality streaming

currently using a phone, would prefer to be able to use another camera or two. I do have a tripod mounted digi cam but the focus is fixed and basically crap for anything remotely close up
