Looking For a Video camera.

[newcbomb]

As the title states im looking for a good video camera. Here are the requirements, 

 

- 1080p30 (bonus points for 60fps)

- Rep. brand

- USB for Video to PC (so i don't need a capture card)

- Around $200-$300 USD

- A good amount of Optical Zoom

- No Graininess 

 

I will use this for shooting interviews and live streaming events from my MacBook with OBS

 

Thanks

your best options within the budget are either the sony HDR-CX440 or canon HF R700, they can both shoot 1080x1920 at 60fps, with good zoom ranges and USB connections to source data off.

 

I can't comment on their "graininess" since this is dependent on the settings you are using to capture footage with and thus will vary in different scenario's. In theory both of them should allow for live capturing data without issues, although sometimes that gets locked out from cheaper devices to both protect them against overheating and have people more reasons to buy a step higher into their segments.
