Shooting with little light - what camera?
 

I have the opportunity to shoot fetish content with fashion models based in Paris and want to do that in Paris hotels. I want this to be a relaxed job so don't want to carry around any video heads, I'll look for hotels with large windows and bring a few daylight fluorescent bulbs and shoot at daytime only and then drive home to feed my cats. So it's going to be little, soft light and would like an advice from the camera experts in this forum. I've been shooting with Canon and Panasonic cams for the last few years but when I see old SD footage from my Sony PD150 I think I liked those colors best so I want a small (semi)professional Sony cam probably. My budget for this is 2000 euro maximum.

What are the most light sensitive cams at the moment? All advice welcome.

sounds hot. shoot a parisian redhead for me.

get a newer generation dslr which can shoot movie and use fixed lenses which have f1.4.

i just bought a Canon XA10 and it does a nice job in low light.

shitting with little light?

all the new dslrs shoot amazing video in low light but its all manual focus. So its hard if the shoot isnt blocked and shot gonzo style.

Hmmm...
 

Isn't it more the lense ?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm already shooting with DSLRs at the moment, mainly the GH2 and 7D but shooting in low light means having a very small depth of field which makes it hard to keep things in focus and again I want this to be a relaxed job. So I would be better of with a smaller sensor.

It is not possible to half learn to fly a plane, or to be able to drive a bit....so


Use amateur cameras and use well lite locations.


Sensitivity has increased, because the sensors are bigger, from about 250 ASA for the Sony EX1 to 800 ASA for the larges sensor cameras. The large sensor cameras will have faster lenses, but be bigger and heaver and the focus will be more critical.

try with canon c300 but if you already have a profesional camera, it's more more a lent thing imho.

shooting with the sony ax2000... it's not bad... if you crank the gain too high you will see some grain tho.. grab a couple of D4's when they come if want to stay with the dslr's

Shooting in low light is always dangerous because of noise.

Grab yourself this great plugin that'll help reduce the noise in your video footage.
