I have an elgato keylight air, a green screen, and a few other needed items but mostly just need a good camera for the job. I used to have a sony a6000 a few years back but im wondering what would be good for this use case? i wont be buying a camera and lens just renting one, dont have a huge budget so no cinema cameras haha. but what would be a good camera in the $1000-$3000 range that would be good for this? and a lens?

Most all cameras will be able to do this.  Id try your a6000 as I'd guess you can get more than enough quality for a product whot. Most screens are 2mp, so you don't need a ultra high resolution image.

 

Depending on how much you want to spend, the Sony a7 iv seems like a decent pick, but is pushing the budget. Does everything pretty well. Id get a good midrange zoom for it, like a 24-70 2.8. Potentially a macro lens if your taking pics of small stuff.

 

If you want cheaper, Id go zv-e10, a 17-55 2.8 or similar aps-c midrange zoom.  

 

All of the current gen mirrorless cameras from Sony,Fuji, Nikon, Canon,Panasonic, and others will produce good image quality. 

 

Id start with a zoom lens to see what field of view you want, and if a macro lens would be helpful for your uses. The lens will affect the look of the image much more than the body in most cases.

thank you for the response. I no longer have the a6000 sadly. I do have a canon mount compatible ultrawide prime lens from rokinon, which i dont think will be useful here. Ill take a look at renting a sony a7 iv and a macro lens. thanks
