Go to solution Solved by GH3,

The Panasonic G7 is the best camera under $1000, and the new G85 but it's almost identical apart from weather sealing.

Until yesterday the Panasonic G7 /w kit lens was on sale for $500, now it's back up to $670. You can find the body alone for $450 on eBay. 

 

Panasonic G7 Body, 14-42mm Lens, Rode Video Mic Pro, Class 10 SD Card, and Extra Batteries, for about $900. Leaving $100 for a camera bag, tripod, dolly, etc.

You have these cameras all under $1000 that can record 4K and are all mirrorless.

I would go slightly over budget and get a A6300, body alone is $999 so technically under $1000 but you will need a lens.

The G7 is $250 less, has better battery life, smaller & lighter, and faster shutter speed. The G85 is environmental proof, 2fps faster in continuous shooting, has "decent" image stabilization, and focus stacks which is useless in video mode.

 

I'd recommend the G7 over the G85 simply due to the price. Yes the G85 is environmental proof, but when are you going to be photographing / filming in pouring rain.

One more thing. Don't get a camcorder. They're expensive, less and less companies are making lenses for them, lens are extremely expensive for professional camcorders, and you don't have the same dynamic possibilities like you do with Mirrorless and DSLR. 

 

 

Best of luck man!

Fuji Xt-1 or xt-10. I've seen shots from them and they are great. I own a Canon 6d, t6i, and a Fuji xt-2 and fuji's image quality is great. The sad part is metabones makes speedboosters and adapters for lenses from every other common mount besides EF.

If you're looking for low cost high quality 4k, the panasonic g7 really has to be the best option especially because of how versatile the micro four thirds mount is.

Wouldn't any point and shoot camera be mirrorless?

A good photographer knows where to focus the lens, a bad photographer focuses on the wrong things.  A good photographer goes out to the world and tries to create something new, a lazy wannabe photographer goes to a museum to take photos of things people have photographed before. - Good Photography

Good point, but I meant a mirror less camera with interchangeable lenses
