I am looking for a new camera besides my phone (s7 edge : does decent enough) for taking photos of architectural models scaling from a few feet in size to the size of a go pro. I also will be taking photos of motorcycles and possibly interiors of buildings, for these I am use I can make do with any camera though. Usually the objects are within a 10" x 10" box however getting images of perspective are getting difficult with just a phone. I usually take images in a dark room with controlled light so low light situations or I use outdoor lighting through a window and set back drops. I am looking for recommendations.

 

I am looking for an intermediate camera as I am not a complete novice when it comes to photography and am looking progress.

 

Recently I have also been wanting to get into video as well so I have been trying to find something that can mix well between the two but I know there is no true compromise and I would be better served with a stand alone. That said I am curious of everyones thoughts on the Panasonic GH5 that is coming out in March. I am considering this as an option mainly for the video functions being able to do 4k at 60 would be fun to play around with however the iso only going as low as 200 worries me a bit for stills as I am not very well versed in cameras yet. I would definitely be interested in getting two separate cameras such as a Panasonic g7 for video and then another camera for photos.

 

Before someone asks for budget I am just looking for others thoughts at the moment to get an idea of what options I have to work but I am looking at intermediate cameras nothing pro level. I also am not a fan boy of any brand btw.

 

Any recommendations of thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't worry me one bit.

A lens would matter more here than any other factor in consideration.  What you want to do can be done with almost any camera body ranging from a $500 entry level DSLR to a $6000 pro body.

Sounds like you need a wide angle lens to me

He mentions interior of buildings which would sound like a wide angle lens is needed, however then he mentions 10" x 10" box, so it sounds more like he is taking photos of building models rather than actual life sized buildings.  Sounds like he needs a macro lens or something similar than a wide angle.
