sandro Posted Thursday at 02:00 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:00 PM I use the Panasonic S5, however I'm looking for something smaller without compromising the quality. Sure full-frame is not necessary at all. Zero importance for still, this is for video only. My requirements are: - the smaller the better, must be portable - I can shoot at 4k 50p/60p without a sensor crop - it comes with a kit lens with a reasonable zoom range, I'm open to non interchangeable lenses, feels weird not being able to swap lenses though... - HLG 2100/HDR support - decent low light performance - optional: something that looks less of a camera and more a smartphone so I don't get stares in public (I shoot in urban areas) Thanks!

sandro Posted Thursday at 04:46 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:46 PM Maybe we can go less pocket than that 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatstoomuchjam Posted Thursday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:55 PM The S5 isn't a very big camera. To get smaller in some meaningful way and if the S9 won't be enough, your best bet is probably either from Fuji or Sony - that or check the existing thread here about the smallest ILC that can shoot 4k.

ac6000cw Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago 18 hours ago, sandro said: I can shoot at 4k 50p/60p without a sensor crop I think the (APS-C) Fuji X-S20 is one of the smallest MILCs that can shoot 4k 50p/60p, but with a 1.18x crop (on the left, fitted with the small 15-45mm power-zoom kit lens, S5 on the right): MrSMW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac6000cw Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago If you can live without 4k 50p/60p, the fixed-lens Sony ZV-1 is tiny but only goes up to 4k 30p max and the battery life is terrible (I use one as my 'pocket' video & stills camera): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 4k50p is too much for pocket zoom camera as they will literally explode 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
