Re: Pick My Camera For Me

I would probably stick to ENG for the time being. Why?

If you're a one-man-band, consider these advantages:
-Better mic preamp and audio controls on-camera, with full sized XLR inputs on most ENG cameras.
-Better form factor without the need to purchase into a zacuto or red rock system
-Better lens control with autofocus (albeit most AF tends to be flaky in low light) and a zoom rocker

For all the shooting I've done with a dslr, I've found that you need to treat it like a movie camera. Movements need to be more steady, and you need in most cases to have a competent assistant pull focus.

On top of that, feel out your clientele. If they just want an interview video and they aren't wowed by shallow depth of field then ENG may be the way to go because of the associated benefits.

If you need one camera over the other, they are cheap to rent even with a modest client budget, but with corporate clients I feel that you'll get more mileage with less headache for sticking with something ENG.
