Re: [Avid-L2] Cheap Action Cameras

 

      I recently bought a Garmin VIRB Ultra 30:



     It meets my needs well but many of its features are aimed at a niche market (flying) so they may not do anything for you.  Also, it's not cheap.

     Why not buy a used mirrorless camera, like a Panasonic GH2?  With a kit zoom, they are going for under $200 on eBay, and they're worlds better than any action camera.  I still have a GH2 which I bought 6+ years ago, and I still use it occasionally as a B-camera with my newer Micro Four Thirds camera (with which it shares lenses).  Great bang for the buck!

From time to time I film choral concerts for a local choir on a Sony A6300 as a main camera following the action, and a cheap action camera on a wide. To film and edit this I receive a very low fee, but that's ok because they're nice people.


However, my current action camera - an Activeon CX, could be better. So...
I've tried a Crosstour CT9000 - TERRIBLE - I'm sending it back
I've tried an Akasa EK7000 Plus - no better than the Activeon - I'm sending it back
I'm aware that what these little cameras do is remarkable for the price but I want more!!

Does anyone have any advice about a miracle little camera that has slipped through the net and is better than the rest - and please don't say GoPro 7 etc - that's more than the fee itself!

Thanks & sorry for being a cheapskate.
